Super-light crystals for clean energy?

Californian chemists have designed the worlds lowest-density crystals for use in clean energy. These new materials, known as covalent organic frameworks or COFs, have such a low density (0.17 grams per cubic centimeter) that a single gram could cover an area of 4,500 square meters. These COFs could be used...
