Ice cream and science!

From http://www.subzeroicecream.com
One practical property of the element nitrogen is that it, at atmospheric pressure, boils at –320.4 F. This makes it suitable to use in cold traps for laboratory equipment and to cool detectors such as the X-ray detector in scanning or transmission electron microscopes.

Another, more unexpected, application of liquid nitrogen is SUPER fast ice cream making! Liquid nitrogen has made the ice cream café, Smitten, in San Francisco very popular.
