Now this is worthy of a Nobel prize.
Or some kind of award.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

Very good, though I can't see any real world applications for it.

This little bit of chemistry caught my eye the other day that could see some amazingly useful technology in the future. From Aquaman breathers to oxygen storage for longer manned space missions.

Danish scientists have invented a revolutionary crystalline material that can absorb and store oxygen in high concentrations. A bucket of such material can suck the oxygen out of a room, which could potentially wave goodbye to heavy oxygen masks.

Imagine if you could get rid of the bulky scuba tank while taking a dive. Now, imagine practically any task to which the storage and timely release of oxygen is absolutely essential.
