      Metal-organic frameworks allow precision filtering with less energy

      Scientists at CSIRO have developed a simple but effective technique for growing and adding value to an new group of smart materials which could be used in areas such as optical sensing and drug storage and delivery. The researchers have developed a way to control the growth, and provide additional functionality, to a family of smart materials known as metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs. MOFs consist of well-ordered ultra-porous crystals which form multi-dimensional structures with enormous surface areas. One gram of the material can have the surface area of more than three football fields.

      COX'S BAZAR, BANGLADESH - SEPTEMBER 19: Refugees cross a flooded bridge in the Balukhali Rohingya refugee camp on September 19, 2017 in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. Over 400,000 Rohingya refugees have fled into Bangladesh since late August during the outbreak of violence in the Rakhine state as Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi broke her silence on the Rohingya crisis on Tuesday and defended the security forces while criticism on her handling of the Rohingya crisis grows. Recent satellite images released by Amnesty International provided evidence that security forces were trying to push the minority Muslim group out of the country.
