- Reasons for recommending:
Banerjee et al. have created metal-organic 'micro-sponges' that can soak up carbon dioxide and might be useful in carbon capture and storage. The sponges are crystalline materials in which organic molecules hold together a framework of metal atoms. Twenty-five types of crystals that work for soaking up carbon were discovered in a screen of thousands of combinatorial possibilities, in a process analogous to drug design.
