Artificial intelligence generates 120,000 recipes for carbon capture materials. Researchers from the US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have succeeded in employing artificial intelligence techniques to describe new metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that can capture carbon very efficiently.
The discovery of these materials dates back to 1999, and Omar Yaghi, an American chemist of Jordanian origin who was born in Amman in 1965, is considered one of the most prominent scientists who published research on them. These materials have an incredibly high surface area relative to their size, and this large surface area provides ample space for gas molecules.
