Turning CO2 into Treasure: A Smart New Catalyst

November 25, 2025

Scientists have cooked up a clever way to turn CO2 into useful stuff without needing fancy equipment or lots of energy. They made a special material called a covalent organic framework (COF) that acts like a tiny, super-strong net. This net traps tiny bits of palladium, a special metal, to create a

Keeping Maize Safe: A New Way to Catch Tiny Toxins

October 25, 2025

Aflatoxins are sneaky toxins that can hide in maize. They are bad for health, so finding them is important. Scientists have made a new tool to catch these tiny troublemakers. This tool is called a hierarchical porous covalent organic framework (HPCOF). It is like a tiny sponge with lots of holes. Th

Enzymes Get a Stability Boost with New COF Technique

June 28, 2025

Enzymes are like tiny workers in our body, speeding up chemical reactions. But they can get tired or damaged easily. Scientists found a way to protect them using something called covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Think of COFs as tiny, strong boxes that can hold enzymes safely inside. The team us
