Really hard to keep a molecule that small in one place for long! I've definitely heard that it really just flies out of steel containers at shockingly high rate

- black6 3y agoEdit: I misunderstood context... My comment is regarding liquid hydrogen storage vessels. Gaseous can be stored indefinitely with proper seals. It doesn't leak; it has to be vented. Hydrogen cannot be a liquid, no matter the pressure, at ambient temperatures, and there will always be heat leak. So your liquid hydrogen is always boiling, and with a good vacuum jacked dewar you'll lose 1-1.5% of the vessel's volume a day.
