Cryogenically stored hydrogen maintained at -253°C in a vacuum-insulated tank, offering 2.8 times more energy density than gaseous hydrogen for aviation applications.

Insulation method using vacuum between tank walls to minimize heat transfer in cryogenic storage systems.

Hollow glass microspheres developed by 3M, used as a component in high-performance vacuum insulation systems due to their low density and high durability.

Hollow glass microspheres with low density and high durability, used in high-performance vacuum insulation systems for cryogenic applications.
