The Cryostat, a machine built by S. C. Collins at MIT to liquefy helium. Experiments with the helium produced by this machine revealed that some metals became superconductors for electricity once they were steeped in a vat of liquid helium; this revelation inspired Buck to begin his research into using these superconducting materials to create a miniscule and ultrafast computer, leading to his invention of the Cryotron.
