Porous material can arrange disordered gas molecules into a crystal-like structure, study predicts

Phys.org reports on research predicting that porous materials could arrange gas molecules into crystal-like order—organized like ice crystals, not scattered randomly throughout the pores as previously thought. This could matter for carbon capture and hydrogen storage, both central to climate mitigation. If the prediction holds, organizing gas molecules this way might improve the efficiency of these climate technologies.
