Computer simulations find the disordered needle in the crystalline haystack: Why smaller nanoporous materials are less flexible

Thursday 24/10/2019

New insight in the impact of the crystal size on the flexibility of nanostructured materials can aid the development of ideal nanosensors."Crystals are like people, it is the defects in them which tend to make them interesting!" The color and corresponding price of diamonds, the performance of semiconductor devices, or even the mechanical stability of metals.

Prof. Van Speybroek highlighted as one of the strong Woman of Catalysis

Wednesday 02/10/2019

The ChemCatChem journal, one of the premier journals in the field of catalysis, highlights the strong contributions of women-lead research groups in Catalysis Science. They placed 67 strong female researchers in the picture in a special issue: “Woman of Catalysis”. One of the invited authors is Prof. Veronique Van Speybroeck.

Monday 27/05/2019

The MOFSIM2019 workshop on April 10-12, 2019 in Ghent, Belgium was attended by over 110 modelers, including Ph.D. students, postdoctoral, senior researchers, as well as renowned experimentalists in the field of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and related porous materials. This event was organized by prof. dr. Guillaume Maurin (Université de Montpellier), prof. dr.

Machine learning predicts mechanical properties of nanoporous materials

Thursday 16/05/2019

While metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) form promising materials to extract water from the air in the desert, to store dangerous gases or to power hydrogen-based cars, they are often very fragile.
