Carbon capture and storage: An inside look at a metal-organic framework (MOF) in action

Posted: 22 Nov 2013 10:24 AM PST

A unique inside look at the electronic structure of a highly touted metal-organic framework (MOF) as it is adsorbing carbon dioxide gas should help in the design of new and improved MOFs for carbon capture and storage.

Copper promises cheaper, sturdier fuel cells

Posted: 22 Nov 2013 07:39 AM PST

Chemists are exploring the use of copper nanowires in fuel cells to convert solar energy into storable fuel. Copper nanowire catalysts cost less to produce than their indium tin oxide counterparts because they can be "printed" on pieces of glass or plastic in a liquid ink form, using a machine that functions much like a printing press. The nanowires can also be incorporated into transparent, flexible films.
