New carbon cluster has high storage capacity

Honeycomb structure could store gases, liquids

Carbon honeycomb

GAS GRAB  Carbon honeycomb is a three-dimensional cluster of carbon sheets. If researchers can succeed in creating a neat orderly honeycomb structure (illustrated above), the material might be able to store unusually high amounts of gas molecules, including xenon (red), krypton (brown) or carbon dioxide (blue).
