We have uploaded the adsorption school lectures from FOA-15 in Porto last year to the IAS YouTube channel. Thank you to the presenters for giving permission to share, and the conference chairs, Prof. Mota and Prof. Ferreira for organising recordings of the sessions. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

This is now in print in Chemical Engineering Journal! We demonstrated the benefits of using a laminate-bed adsorbent contactor (over the traditional packed-bed) in pressure-vacuum swing adsorption processes using CALF-20. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Pilot-scale demonstration of a laminate-based CALF-20 rapid cycle pressure-vacuum swing adsorption process for carbon capture

A pilot-scale rapid-cycle pressure-vacuum swing adsorption (PVSA) process study was conducted using the metal-organic framework (MOF) CALF-20 in struc…

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

Join us for the next #IASWebinar by Randall Snurr on diffusion measurements in nanoporous materials using molecular simulations as part of our special series on the recent IUPAC report on diffusion. Time: Sept. 3, 1400 UTC YouTube: bit.ly/iasyoutube

We don't have any IAS webinars for July, so we are uploading recordings of the presentations given by the IAS Award winners at the recent FOA-15.

Now almost 450 signatories to my open letter calling on the @royalsociety.org to stand up for its values & deal with the widespread concerns raised by Elon Musk's Fellowship. Please consider signing & sharing: forms.gle/miDciq35oxyw... List of signatories here: occamstypewriter.org/scurry/2025/...

My crankiest belief is that we are now being sold on solutions to problems which only exist because we've let others convince us they exist. That is what "innovation" seems to be in 2025. There's a level of introspection that's just not happening these days re: what actually needs to bother us.

Calling all PhDs, PDRAs & Fellows in Nanoscience! You are invited to join your peers and community in London on 9-10th April at UCL (London) Attendance is free, as is lunch. We are particularity keen if you've never given a talk before - you wont find a nicer audience! www.rsc.org/events/detai...

Please join us for the next #IASWebinar by Jade Wang on frequency response methods for studying mass transfer in microporous materials. It is also our first webinar in our special series on the recent IUPAC technical report. Time: January 22, 1400 UTC YouTube: bit.ly/iasyoutube

Very happy to share our latest perspective in Nature Chemical Engineering, 'Accelerating climate technologies through the science of scale-up.' We discuss tools academics and R&D engineers can use to accelerate the scaling of new technologies. Read it here! rdcu.be/d30IM @nature.com 🧪⚛️ 🧮 🔌💡

Accelerating climate technologies through the science of scale-up

Nature Chemical Engineering - This Perspective argues that early assessments of technology-market fit, as well as how the physics governing system performance evolves with scale, can de-risk...
