"scientists from Sweden’s Uppsala University are calling a newly created
form of magnesium
carbonate<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_carbonate>an
“impossible” material. Dubbed
upsalite<http://www.uu.se/en/media/press-release-document/?id=2736&area=3&typ=artikel&na=&lang=en>,
the highly porous material sets new records for surface area and water
absorption <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adsorption>"
"Upsalite has the highest surface area ever measured for a so-called alkali
earth metal carbonate, according to the statement. In addition, it’s filled
with empty pores with diameters measuring less than 10 nanometers."
