They believe this discovery will lead to improvements in the optical detectors used in a wide range of technologies, from cell phones to cameras and fiber optics, as well as in solar cells.</p> Tue, 04 Aug 2020 21:45:40 +0000 amelia.souffrant@mail.mcgill.ca 231942 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/hot-new-material-found-exist-nature-261980 <p><strong><em>Æ»¹ûÒùÔº Newsroom</em></strong></p> <p><em>Rare minerals from Siberia found to have same structure as some man-made metal-organic frameworks</em></p> <p>One of the hottest new materials is a class of porous solids known as metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs. These man-made materials were introduced in the 1990s, and researchers around the world are working on ways to use them as molecular sponges for applications such as hydrogen storage, carbon sequestration, or photovoltaics.</p> Mon, 08 Aug 2016 14:10:57 +0000 nima.adibpour@mail.mcgill.ca 26070 at /newsroom
