New Scientist : Two crystals identical in appearance and chemical formula—and even with the same crystal symmetry—turn out to differ wildly in their capacity for storing hydrogen, much to the surprise of the chemists who made them.The finding hints that there may be a previously unknown class of crystals that would be useful for gas storage or catalysis.
