Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have become a recurring phenomenon in modern materials science. Every few years they re-enter the spotlight: first as the revolution for hydrogen storage, then as the future of CO₂ capture, then as the next big thing in catalysis, sensing, or drug delivery. And now once again, MOFs are appearing in discussions about the recent Nobel Prize. A recent paper by Abánades Lázaro et al. published in Materials Horizons illustrates exactly why MOFs continue to generate...
