Thinking outside the cage | EurekAlert! Scientific news

[ad_1] Molecular cages, in which host molecules cling to the outer surfaces of the cages rather than entering an internal cavity, could reduce the environmental impact of separating blends of industrial chemicals, KAUST research suggests. Large-scale molecular separations performed by the chemical industry collectively account for up to 15% of …
