Porous materials are widely used for gas storage, separation, catalysis, and environmental purification. Their functionality ...

Multivariate porous materials (MTV) are like a "collection of Lego blocks," allowing for customized design at a molecular level to freely create desired structures. Using these materials enables a ...

Although cage-based porous materials, metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs), are attracting attention as an emerging functional platform for numerous applications, hardly predictable and seemingly ...

Weak van der Waals interactions align metalorganic polyhedra into one-dimensional microporous fibrils, enabling flexible ...

Researchers have used computational design methods to develop non-metal organic porous framework materials, with potential applications in areas such as catalysis, water capture or hydrogen storage.

Thinking small has enabled an international team of scientists to gain new insight into the evolution of planetary building blocks in the early solar system. The researchers compared the results of ...

A research group from the Jordan University of Science and Technology and the Australian College of Kuwait have developed a new passive cooling technique for solar modules. The method is based on the ...

Several factors, such as surface area, pore size distribution, temperature, pressure, and the nature of both the gas and porous material, influence the rate and extent of gas sorption. The size and ...

WASHINGTON, February 9, 2021 -- As COVID-19 spreads via respiratory droplets, researchers have become increasingly interested in the drying of droplets on impermeable and porous surfaces. Surfaces ...
