'Mix-and-match' material's properties can be tuned by changing its metallic 'recipe'
Scientists have created a new family of materials whose behavior can be tuned by changing their metallic "recipe"—opening new possibilities for uses including gas storage and sensing.
Summary
Scientists have created a new family of materials whose behavior can be tuned by changing their metallic "recipe"—opening new possibilities for uses including gas storage and sensing. Led by the University of Birmingham, chemists have created a highly adaptable metal-organic framework (MOF), in which metal atoms are connected by organic molecules to create highly ordered structures containing tiny pores.
