Material chemists in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have developed a superporous solid made up of a patchwork of metal ions and organic linkers (a metal-organic framework, or MOF) that can suck up to 200 ...

The crystal structure of the super-adsorbent Cr-soc-MOF-1, hosting twice its weight as adsorbed water within its extensive network of micropores. The framework is represented in green, red and grey, ...

Selective removal of detrimental gases, e.g., hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) and carbon dioxide (CO 2) from natural gas (CH 4) could become simpler and highly effective using a new class of oriented ...

Materials that reversibly trap water from air could provide a vital source of drinking water in areas where it is scarce, or offer energy-efficient air conditioning. But to be commercially viable, ...

Procter & Gamble has patented an aerosol package design utilizing adsorbent materials to maintain pressure, acting as propellants. The package includes a bag, can, and valve with an adsorption matrix ...

Belfast-based MOF Technologies is to license two new nanomaterials developed by Limerick-based researchers as part of an attempt to fight greenhouse gases in Europe. The company said it would develop ...
