3D van der Waals open frameworks signal a new era in porous materials

Researchers from Kyoto University have achieved a significant advancement in materials science by developing the world's first three-dimensional van der Waals open frameworks (WaaFs). This innovation challenges the conventional belief that van der Waals interactions are too weak for open framework materials, demonstrating their potential for stable and highly porous materials.
