Metal-organic frameworks can store huge amounts of gas in a tiny space—enabling advances that could help humans fight climate ...

For decades, it's been known that subtle chemical patterns exist in metal alloys, but researchers thought they were too minor to matter—or that they got erased during manufacturing. However, recent ...

Richard Robson, Susumu Kitagawa and Omar Yaghi developed metal-organic frameworks, structures that can collect water from air, capture CO₂ and more.

Yaghi created a field called reticular chemistry, which involves stitching together molecular building blocks to form porous ...
