Prof. Yaghi featured on Instant Genius, a BBC Podcast
Join Professor Omar Yaghi, our founder, as he explores how reticular chemistry is powering real-world climate solutions, from carbon capture to atmospheric water harvesting, in this episode of Instant Genius by BBC.
The tiny molecules tackling the planet’s biggest challenges
In this special episode of Instant Genius by BBC Science Focus, our founder Professor Omar Yaghi shares the story behind some of the most groundbreaking materials innovations of our time. As the inventor of MOFs (metal–organic frameworks) and COFs (covalent organic frameworks), Prof. Yaghi explains how these ultra-porous materials are being used to capture carbon, store clean hydrogen, and even extract drinking water from desert air.
Tune in to hear how his pioneering work is transforming the fields of clean energy, climate solutions, and water sustainability, and why it’s considered the foundation of an entirely new branch of chemistry.
