New tool narrows the search for ideal material structures

Princeton NJ (SPX) Jan 08, 2026
Princeton researchers have developed a new tool to speed the discovery of advanced materials known as metal organic frameworks, or MOFs. MOFs are an emerging class of materials that form microscopic sponge-like structures with vast interior surface area. That quality promises to transform how society traps, absorbs and filters substances at the molecular level. The researchers say this cou
