When hydrogen burns the only product is water, therefore making it the most attractive form of clean energy. Central to the technological use of hydrogen is the need for a material through which only this element can pass, both so that the energy can be extracted and for purification. At present high temperatures are needed to allow hydrogen to pass through solids that exhibit this sieving property. Through state of the art computational methods the movement through these materials can be observed so that the regions that slow the hydrogen down can be identified. From this understanding it will be possible to design more efficient ways of producing energy that can provide clean air for cities and reliable power for remote communities.

氢燃烧时唯一的产物是水，因此使其成为最具吸引力的清洁能源形式。氢技术使用的核心是需要一种只有这种元素才能通过的材料，以便提取能量和纯化。目前需要高温才能使氢气穿过具有这种筛分特性的固体。通过最先进的计算方法，可以观察这些材料中的运动，从而可以识别减缓氢速度的区域。根据这种理解，将有可能设计出更有效的能源生产方式，为城市提供清洁的空气，为偏远社区提供可靠的电力。
