Silver's New Trick: Clearing the Air with Smart Sulfur Structures

April 4, 2025

Silver and sulfur are teaming up in a big way. Two new 3D structures have been created using these elements. These structures are called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and they are quite special. They are stable in water and have unique shapes. These MOFs are named SCU-1 and SCU-2. The first s

Water, MOFs, and Gases: A Surprising Mix

January 30, 2025

Did you know that water can make some materials either super-efficient or really bad at absorbing gases? Scientists have been studying a group of materials called metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs for short. These are like tiny sponges that can soak up gases. There are three types we're looking at:
