27、th an interesting “powerpaste”,which can store hydrogen energy at atmospheric pressure,ready for release when needed.It is so named because it comes in tubes and looks like toothpaste(牙膏),not in its traditional form of gas.The main ingredient(原料) of the paste is magnesium hydride,a substance that re

28、acts with water to form hydrogen.The escaped hydrogen can then be directed into a fuel cell,where it reacts with oxygen from the air to produce electric power.Refueling is very simple,as instead of going to a filling station,drivers and riders can simply replace an empty tube with a new one and refi

29、ll the water tank.Given that powerpaste only begins to break down at temperatures of around 250 it remains safe even when a vehicle stands in the baking sun for hours.However,we will have to be patient.The fact that researchers have succeeded in developing a new fueling way does not mean that we can
