Dry landscape

Limitless Applications

CSIRO leading the charge to find a way to make MOFs commercially viable.

Cara Doherty

Crystal Clear Water

Cara Doherty uses antimatter –positrons – and synchrotron light to measure MOF crystals and their properties.

Water hauling

From the ocean to our glass: sucking the salt from the sea

A just released paper found that membranes made out of MOFs can mimic cells and allow specific atoms or molecules through to help them grow and survive, while stopping everything else.

Submarine

How we’re helping the navy with its snorting problem

With QinetiQ, we are working on a better way to remove carbon dioxide from a sub’s atmosphere, and at the centre of it are MOFs.

Soldiers

Using our cutting edge materials science to protect Australian soldiers

Our project with the ADF will see us develop a special broad spectrum filter canister that will work with ADF issued respirators and keep Australian soldiers, sailors and airmen safe.

At CSIRO, we solve the greatest challenges through innovative science and technology.
