2) is heralded as the clean fuel of tomorrow. Because H
2 can be produced from water (H
2O) without generating carbon emissions, developing H
2-compatible technologies has become a top priority. However, the road ahead is bumpy, and many technical limitations must be ironed out. Hydrogen is the smallest molecule in nature, and finding feasible ways to store it is a critical issue to realize a hydrogen economy, states Associate Professor Youngjune Park from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) in Korea. Unlike hydrocarbons, pure H
