I first read about MOFs a few years ago when searching for methods of converting methane into methanol or other high value compounds. They really sound like sci-fi materials. The perfect tailored catalyst for many reactions with astounding efficiency and selectivity. I would agree that they really are miracle materials. Hopefully they will be easy to produce and cheap so we can get on with building transmutation machines. One compound in and another out.

How does that work, actually?

He was awarded the Prize in 2025 for his work on MOFs. I assume this old article was posted because of https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-02143-x.

This is from 2018

Not only is this from 2018, but Yaghi himself demonstrated MOFs in 1995 so "new" is pretty relative.

MOF or COF for quantum computing?

Maybe "Radical COFs" or "Spintronic COFs", or Carbon-Linked Covalent Organic Frameworks for Spintronics, e.g. GQD Graphene Quantum Dots; GQD-COFs
