The Green Technocrat

On Wednesday ScienceDaily reported that a Dutch sponsored researcher, Robin Gremaud, has designed a new metal alloy that efficiently absorbs hydrogen.  The alloy, which is composed of the metals magnesium, titanium, and nickel, is incredibly lightweight.  Weight has major sticking point in the implementation of mobile hydrogen storage tanks.
Hydrogen is incredibly explosive, making the safe [...]
