#NobelPrize week starts tomorrow & the #chemnobel is Wednesday… used to be so much Nobel chat on Tw*tter, but that is not replicated here, alas. Anyway, for the record, I think MOFs will win at some point (maybe this year maybe not). Balasubramanian & Klenerman a good bet for next-gen sequencing too

Las mostró en el Museo de la Computación de Boston. "Son modelos —le dijeron—. Ya sabes, como en los anuncios de frigoríficos."

The structuring of porous reticular materials for energy applications at industrial scales
Reticular synthesis constructs crystalline architectures by linking molecular building blocks with robust bonds. This process gave rise to reticular chemistry and permanently porous solids. Such precise control over pore shape, size and surface chemistry makes reticular materials versatile for gas storage, separati
