The discovery of a partially interpenetrated metal–organic framework for selective hysteretic sorption of carbon dioxide. In a not-too-pedantic-bastard language that this material can potentially filter and absorb carbon dioxide (CO2).

• No more Algae Farms need to setup to absorb CO2, tick;
• Global warming problem solved, tick.

I think someone just wanted to get the term "double interpenetration" into a published article. It would be hard to talk about with your peers with a straight face I imagine.

I'd wait until the idea is actually in production before I tick off global warming as a problem +Terrence Miao. These discoveries, while cool and potentially useful need to become commercially viable/installed before people see the benefits.

Global warming wont be "solved" in a lab ;).
