What secret ingredients complete the recipe? A new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience has revealed a fascinating element: hydrogen. Studying the core [...]
A recent study could open the door to the future of hydrogen storage. A research group from the Chemistry Department of Korea’s Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) has discovered a porous material, based on magnesium hydride, that can store hydrogen much more efficiently than current methods. This material has the peculiarity of having [...]
