Compressibility is a fundamental property of all materials. For fluids, that is, gases and liquids, compressibility forms the basis of technologies such as pneumatics and hydraulics and determines basic phenomena such as the propagation of sound and shock waves. In contrast to gases, liquids are almost incompressible.

- Porous Liquids (PLs) are innovative materials that combine fluidity with permanent porosity, allowing for advanced applications like continuous flow separation.
- The study identifies Noria, a rigid cyclic oligomer, as a new and more stable host for creating robust Type II PLs, while revealing that previous assumptions about bulk Noria's composition were incorrect.
- The research demonstrates that a derivative of Noria, called Noria-OEt, can dissolve in a solvent to form a new Type II PL with enhanced methane uptake, supporting the existence of empty pores in the liquid.
