The cryogenic line is interesting, I've heard this before, been thinking how it can make an impact from the physics/materials science angle but not sure I can concoct anything credible at this stage. Some rearrangement of metal crystalline structure to a tidier more efficient conductor pathway would seem to me to require a higher energy level to shuffle stuff around (like high temperature annealing to remove imperfections and make metal harder) and very low temperatures would do the opposite.
