“Magnetic sponge” MOF captures carbon with record energy efficiency

As porous materials with incredibly high surface areas, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer a huge degree of versatility that could see them used in alternative rocket fuels, advanced batteries and devices that quickly detect dangerous gases. Another… Continue reading “Magnetic sponge” MOF captures carbon with record energy efficiency

Carbon capture membrane assembles its own silver structures

With carbon dioxide emissions continuing to rise and drive up global temperatures, many scientists are pursuing technologies that can capture the gas before it enters the atmosphere. Scientists at Newcastle University have happened upon a particularly … Continue reading Carbon capture membrane assembles its own silver structures
