Metal-Organic Frameworks for Carbon Capture Membranes
Quick fact
One gram of a metal-organic framework can have more surface area than a football field — about 7,000 m². That's like having a huge net to catch CO₂ molecules.
Why this is interesting
You've heard that trees capture carbon, but what if a synthetic sponge could do it better? Imagine a material with microscopic cages that trap CO₂ from factory smoke before it ever reaches the sky.
