New Material can act as a Molecular Flask (IMAGE) U.S. National Science Foundation Caption This is a scanning electron microscope image of a new material that self-assembles into a polyhedron using the attractive interactions associated with hydrogen bonds. The shapes then further organize into a crystal lattice that resembles a porous structure called zeolite, an absorbent material with many industrial uses. Credit Michael D.
