New material developed by Danish scientists that can absorb, store and release oxygen

A new substance has been developed that can absorb, store, and release large amounts of oxygen. Just a few grains can store enough oxygen for a single breath, and larger quantities can capture an entire room's worth of O2. This innovation could eliminate the need for bulky oxygen tanks for medical use and allow scuba divers to stay underwater longer by absorbing oxygen from water. The substance was created by altering the molecular structure of cobalt, a metal found in meteoric iron.
