| Omid's work on carbon dioxide capture by MUF-17 finds a great home in J Mat. Chem. A. |
| May 2020 |
After a lengthy lockdown period, we are able to resume lab work!The timing coincides with Ben's super paper on MUF-15 membranes.
Ben brought along the membrane expertise (and built the hardware) to make this research possible. |

Working on gas separations is a lot of fun, especially when it results in a comprehensive piece of work. Here's Omid scoring a lovely goal in JACS. |
| March 2019 |
Over the course of a few emails Qiaowei and I realised that we were working on the same MOF. Thus was born FDM-8: Check it out!
