(PhysOrg.com) -- For nearly a century, nobody knew how the little molecule thats in the middle of many of todays hydrogen storage and release concepts was organized. Thanks to an interdisciplinary team of scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory, the structure of this molecule, known as DADB, has been determined. And DADBs structure was exactly opposite of what was expected in more ways than one.
