| The porous crystals are the first known all-natural metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that are simple to make. Most other MOFs are made from petroleum-based ingredients, but the Northwestern MOFs you can pop into your mouth and eat, and the researchers have. | |
| «They taste kind of bitter, like a Saltine cracker, starchy and bland,» said Ronald A. Smaldone, a postdoctoral fellow at Northwestern. «But the beauty is that all the starting materials are nontoxic, biorenewable and widely available, offering a green approach to storing hydrogen to power vehicles.» |

Equipo de nanotecnología reporta el material orgánico más fuerte nunca antes desarrollado
TEL AVIV, Israel, September 29, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — A revolutionary new spherical nanostructure, fully derived from very simple organic elements, yet strong as steel, has been developed and characterized at the laboratories of Ehud Gazit of Tel Aviv University and Itay Rousso of the Weizmann Institute of Science. Lightweight and exceptionally strong, easy and inexpensive to produce, friendly to the environment and biologically compatible, these promising bio-inspired nano-spheres have innumerable potential uses – from durable composite materials to medical implants. The groundbreaking work was recently published in the leading journal Angewandte Chemie.
