1. A method of trapping noble gas atoms or molecules comprising:
providing a metallic substrate;
forming one or more oxide nanocages on the metallic substrate to form a gas trapping assembly;
contacting the gas trapping assembly with a noble gas comprising noble gas atoms or noble gas molecules;
ionizing the noble gas to form noble gas cations that enter the one or more oxide nanocages; and
deionizing the noble gas cations,
wherein, after the noble gas cations enter the one or more oxide nanocages of the gas trapping assembly, the deionization of the noble gas cations forms noble gas atoms or noble gas molecules that are trapped in the one or more oxide nanocages.
