RedOrbit: A group of scientists at Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Australia`s national science agency, have created a "solar sponge" using a metal organic framework (MOF) that absorbs carbon dioxide, but releases it when exposed to sunlight. The journal Angewandte Chemie published a paper detailing MOF. The interaction is known as dynamic photo-switching. The capture-and-release method of dynamic photo-switching requires only UV light to trigger the release of collected...
