Plural of cryogen; substances or agents used to produce and maintain extremely low temperatures.
From 'cryogen' + '-s' (plural suffix). The plural form emerged naturally as scientists discussed multiple cold-producing substances.
Common cryogens include liquid nitrogen, liquid helium, and liquid hydrogen—and in labs you'll find containers of these incredibly cold liquids used for everything from medical treatments to rocket fuel.
