ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Two research teams at the University of Michigan are among 30 groups nationwide receiving federal funding for research projects to help bring hydrogen and fuel cell technology to broad commercialization.

The researchers, one group led by professor Omar Yaghi and assistant professor Adam Matzger, both of the Department of Chemistry, and the other group led by professor Ralph Yang of the Department of Chemical Engineering, will receive more than $5 million to develop new materials for storing large amounts of hydrogen at normally encountered temperatures and pressures.
