Using as an illustration cryogenic detectors, I discuss a few innovativeideas that resulted in significant progress in sensitivity. After presenting the mainclasses of sensors, I summarize the impact of cryogenic detectors on Dark Matter,one of the outstanding questions in astroparticle physics and cosmology.I briefly review some applications in astrophysics and other fields.
