It doesn't have one that would be particularly meaningful.

Basically, clathrate describes a class of materials where a gas is disolved in water, and the water molecules in the mixture form a complex repeating latice structure that has cavities that look a lot like buckminsterfullerine (buckyballs). The gas sits in those cavities.

So what they're saying is under low temp and high pressure, they can force this mixture into a very specific ice that has property that it holds on to the hydrogen really well.

A tiny fossil of a creature that lived some 425 million years ago has entered the record books as the oldest unequivocally male animal. The organism, which resembles a cross between a shrimp and a clam, sports a large penis which has been perfectly preserved in three dimensions.

I'm not sure why this amuses me so much...

"When Charles Darwin introduced the theory of evolution through natural selection 143 years ago, the scientists of the day argued over it fiercely, but the massing evidence from paleontology, genetics, zoology, molecular biology and other fields gradually established evolution's truth beyond reasonable doubt. Today that battle has been won everywhere--except in the public imagination."
