Ok, but it should be a struggle to filter the crystals in case of energy storage, mainly because you want to work with high pressures. Also in drug delivery you should be very cautious in case the crystals spread. MOFs are ok, but the "powder" state constrains the uses. Hmm.

Evolution has a way of finding counter-intuitive, but highly successful solutions. I wonder if it would be useful to use an evolutionary algorithm to ‘breed’ new materials.

Of course you are right. A little early in the morning in my part of the world when I wrote that. Anyway, just enthusiastic about progress :) None the less, still amazing! Doh.

Therefore 1km2=1000x1000 (1,000 000 m2 = 1 km2). - yes, a million sq. meters. 1kg per 7 square kilometers sounds amazingly efficient. @Espen A square kilometer is a square with each side measuring 1000 meters.

As I understand it: 7000m² = 0.0070km² so with kg, the area would be 1000 times 0.0070, or 7 km² Espen, it’s a tricky calculation.

I see that it says one kilogram (kg) would cover seven square kilometres. Wouldn't that be one gram would cover seven square kilometres? (1,000 m2 = 1 km2). In that case one kilogram would cover 7,000 square kilometres.... or an area a little bit bigger than Delaware :) http://www.enchantedlearning.com/usa/states/area.shtml And according to wikipedia it should be perfect for Hydrogen storage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal-organic_framework This is great news.
