Cryotechnics; cryotechnic
All techniques used to manipulate extreme cold.
Dihydrogen; dihydrogen
Molecular form of the element hydrogen that exists in a gaseous state and under conditions of use as an aviation fuel. Dihydrogen can be cooled below its condensation point, which is 20.28 kelvins (−252.87 °C) at atmospheric pressure of 101,325 Pa. It is then called liquid hydrogen (LH2).
