Vitrified
By contrast with freezing, which produces crystallization and other structural alterations, vitrification cools substances to form a glass without disturbing their structure.
In the context of Cryonics, Vitrification is intended to fully maintain the information encoded in the patient's brain. Early cryonicists were frozen rather than vitrified. Microscopic analysis of the results suggests that very poor preservation of structure resulted.
