Formaldehyde, a sneaky and potentially harmful gas, is lurking in many places, from homes to workplaces. Detecting it quickly and accurately is crucial for keeping people safe. Traditional sensors often fall short, struggling with slow response times, instability, and trouble picking out formaldehyd
The Colorado Rapids are looking to shake things up after a disappointing season. Kevin Demoff, a big shot from Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, stepped in to support Pádraig Smith, the team's president. This isn't just another meeting; it's a sign that changes are coming. Demoff made it clear that t
Keith Moffat was a figure who left a lasting mark on the world of science and technology. His work spanned many years, and his contributions were significant. He was known for his innovative thinking and his ability to solve complex problems. His legacy is not just in the projects he completed, but
A new type of filter has been created to tackle lead contamination in water. This filter is not just any ordinary filter. It is smart and can be regenerated using heat. The filter is made from a special material called MOF-808. To make it even smarter, two special ingredients were added. The first i
The creation of tiny metal-organic frameworks, known as nano-MOFs, usually involves extra steps or additives. However, the choice of solvent plays a huge role in this process. One solvent, tetramethylene sulfone, or TMS, stands out for its ability to control the size of these tiny particles. TMS for
Sulfur oxides are a big problem. They come from burning fuels that have thiophene sulfides in them. These oxides are bad for the environment and for people's health. So, scientists are looking for ways to get rid of these sulfurs from fuel. One promising method is adsorption desulfurization. It work
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
Firstly, there is a new weapon in the fight against citrus greening disease. But what? Do you know that scientists have figured out a way to make a special kind of pesticide even better and more deadly to a tiny bug that spreads this disease. The goal was to create a one-punch combo to wipe out
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:
Imagine a world where tiny structures could break down pollutants, generate clean energy, and help reduce greenhouse gases. Titanium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) like NH 2 MIL-125(Ti) are leading the way in making this possible. These materials are special because they're very porous, st
