In February, the journal Angewandte Chemie, published a study by Monash University and CSIRO scientists. The study examines the researchers’ discovery of a photosensitive metal organic framework (MOF). These […]

Yaghi have created three-dimensional, synthetic DNA-like crystals which are capable of storing carbon dioxide: We have taken organic and inorganic units and combined them into a synthetic crystal which codes information in a DNA-like manner.
