ScienceDaily (May 20, 2008) — A materials scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has deciphered the structure of a new class of materials that can store relatively large quantities of hydrogen within its crystal structure for later release. The new analysis may point to a practical hydrogen storage material for automobile fuel cells and similar applications.

This is interesting. The biggest drawback to hydrogen cars is the amount of fuel they can hold... past a certain amount, I have heard the amount needed to go 100 miles, the weight of the fuel starts dragging the vehicle down... That is the drawback according to click and clack, not fueling stations as has been repeatedly suggested.

This discovery could change that.
