Abstract
The present invention discloses an apparatus for supercooling which can stably maintain a liquid in a supercooled state at below a phase transition temperature. The apparatus for supercooling, which can maintain a supercooled state of a liquid or contents even below a phase transition temperature, comprises: a storage space for storing a container accommodating a liquid or contents containing the liquid; a cooling means for cooling the liquid or contents or the storage space below the phase transition temperature of the liquid or the contents; and a temperature maintaining unit for applying energy to the surface of the liquid or contents or to a gas near the surface, wherein the liquid or the contents are maintained in a supercooled state by preventing freezing nuclei from being formed on the surface of the liquid or contents or in the gas near the surface by application of energy.
