Super-adsorbent MOF captures twice its weight in water

Material chemists have developed a superporous solid made up of a patchwork of metal ions and organic linkers (a metal-organic framework, or MOF) that can suck up to 200 percent of its own weight in atmospheric moisture. The technology could be applied to regulating humidity levels, particularly in confined environments such as aircraft cabins and air-conditioned buildings.
