Figure 1 | Computationally predicted porous organic salts. O’Shaughnessy et al. 1 used computational methods to identify a series of organic salts that assemble into pore-containing crystals.

A new MOF removes 99% of PFOA — a harmful “forever chemical” — from water in just minutes, while doubling as a real-time ...

It forms when water moves through a porous material like concrete or brick, carrying dissolved salts with them. Once the water evaporates, the salt deposits are left behind as a chalky residue.

Evaporation in porous media is a critical process influencing a range of environmental and engineering systems. The interplay between water evaporation, heat transfer and salt crystallisation ...

This graphic shows how small organic molecules can be transformed into organic molecular salts, or ionic solids. The organic molecular salts can then be transformed into porous carbons through ...

The bio-inspired solar evaporator, with an external photothermal layer and an internal water supply channel, enhances brine transport to form a porous salt shell that facilitates vapor release and ...

Drinkable water is actually pretty scarce. As if that doesn’t already sound unsettling, what little water we have is also ...

Recent research demonstrated an alternative to polymer precursors by using heat to transform small organic molecules into organic metal salts and then into porous carbons.
