Liquid hydrogen is used in the laboratory to produce extremely low temperatures and in bubble chambers for photographing the tracks of nuclear particles. Liquid hydrogen is of great importance in space-exploration programs as a rocket fuel with oxygen or fluorine as the oxidizer.

Hydrogen Uses: Hydrogen is important in the proton-proton reaction and carbon-nitrogen cycle. Liquid hydrogen is used in cryogenics and in the study of superconductivity. Great quantities are used for the fixation of nitrogen from the air in the Haber ammonia process.

Why is hydrogen used as fuel in a scramjet engine? - question from name withheld ... The LHV for hydrogen is 119,600 kJ/kg. JP-8, another fuel commonly used in military aircraft, has a LHV of only 43,190 kJ/kg, less than half that of hydrogen. Simply put, hydrogen provides more "bang" per kilogram than JP-8,
