More Solid than Solid: A Potential Hydrogen-Storage Compound

One of the key engineering challenges to building a clean, efficient, hydrogen-powered car is how to design the fuel tank. Storing enough raw hydrogen for a reasonable driving range would require either impractically high pressures for gaseous hydrogen or extremely low temperatures for liquid hydrogen. In a new paper researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology�s Center for Neutron Research have demonstrated that a novel class of materials could enable a practical hydrogen fuel tank.
