Microspheres To Carry Hydrogen, Deliver Drugs, Filter Gases And Detect Nuclear Development

Porous glass microspheres developed at the Savannah River National Lab can be filled with absorbents to store gas and other materials. On a macro scale, these strong, reusable microspheres can be made to behave like a liquid. Applications for hydrogen storage, gas transport, gas purification and separation, sensor technologies, global-warming applications, and drug delivery systems are underway. Coatings, plates and fibers with similar properties can also be fabricated.
