Metal-organic frameworks were the next big thing in chemistry when they were invented more than three decades ago. Now, these intriguing materials are becoming commercial tools for capturing carbon dioxide and harvesting water from the air.

All seven winners of this year’s science prizes were men. Some say this shows a disappointing lack of progress towards diversifying the awards.

MOFs, or metal–organic frameworks, are sponge-like crystalline compounds held together by strong chemical bonds — carbon–carbon, carbon–oxygen, or metal–oxygen. Their unique structure results in solids that are rigid and strong, but at the same time porous, flexible and incredibly light. The 'killer app' for MOFs could well be in making the hydrogen economy a reality by providing the solution to the problem of hydrogen storage.
