 So I'm working with metal organic frameworks which are materials that you could think of like pumice Which is a rock with a lot of holes in it. So basically it's like that except incredibly small so instead of holes that you can see they're holes that are the space of One molecule so they have a really high surface area So they could trap huge amounts of gas in a very small amount of material so they exhibit a lot of promise to try and Trap molecules in the air like potentially carbon dioxide to solve global warming Right now I'm making materials that people have already done but trying to improve their synthesis So one of the problems with these materials is that if you make them too big Basically the gas can't get to the very center of the material because you have all of these kind of holes in the material That have to get filled so I'm trying to make them smaller so that basically The gas can get trapped more rapidly into the material and there's some promise for like I said global warming I think Right now it's still very Academic so there aren't any specific commercial applications for what I'm doing immediately, but I like Trying to improve things that exhibit promise I guess and sort of move them Towards potential future applications that could help solve problems
