And under certain conditions it won't, like when it's under enough pressure (takes a lot, and I am talking non-nuclear sources of heat)

I really think helium at 10 degrees Kelvin is more fun (maintaining old parametric amplifiers in the '70s used in satellite communications)...catch a frog at 5 feet and watch him freeze..solid..shatter...we were cruel then..but it was Clark AB, on a mid shift (SATCOM site was out by the POL for those who know..and those that remember the furniture factory burning down...damn, your as old as me)....

:lol: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: We used to do the same thing refilling LOX bottles when i was in the AF. ;D But we used liquid O2 in stead of nitrogen.

 Nitrogen was much more fun (and stable ::)) you could freeze old tools and shatter them as well.
