An illustration of individual atoms of three different noble gases—argon, krypton, and xenon—getting trapped in a 2-D array of nanosized "cages." These porous frameworks have a hexagonal prism shape and are made of silicon and oxygen. Brookhaven Lab and industry partner Forge Nano will advance this technology for nuclear energy applications through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Technology Commercialization Fund.
