What & Why

Applications

Carbon Capture

To meet net-zero targets, the world needs to remove 10 billion tons of CO₂ annually by 2050. MOFs are porous crystalline materials that can selectively adsorb CO₂ at low concentrations and release it using far less energy than amine solvents. They can be tuned to work under various capture conditions and regenerate with low-temperature heat or vacuum. This makes them ideal for a wide range of capture applications—from direct air capture (DAC) to point-source capture in cement, steel, and chemical plants. But to deliver this impact, MOFs must be designed for high uptake, low regeneration energy, long-term durability, and scalable, low-cost manufacturing. By unlocking the ability to rapidly and cost-effectively manufacture the right MOFs, we can dramatically reduce the cost of CO₂ capture—bringing it in line with the U.S. DOE targets of $30/ton for point sources and $100/ton for DAC.

Water Harvesting

To ensure a healthy and equitable future, the world must secure reliable access to clean water—an increasingly urgent challenge as climate change, pollution, and population growth strain existing supplies. Emerging materials like MOFs can transform how we harvest water, making it possible to extract moisture from air. But to scale these solutions, materials must be engineered for high selectivity, low energy use, and long-term resilience in diverse environments. By advancing water harvesting we can bring safe drinking water to the 2 billion people who currently lack it—while building climate resilience for the future.

Green fuels and chemicals

What if we could clean up the dirtiest parts of industry—like making steel, flying planes, producing fertilizer, or creating everyday chemicals? These sectors produce over 20% of global CO₂ emissions and rely heavily on fossil fuel feedstocks making them the hardest to clean up. By driving chemical reactions with renewable electricity (electro-chemical reactions), we can (1) make hydrogen from water and (2) turn the world’s biggest waste–CO₂– into green building blocks for cleaner hydrocarbons. This opens the door to reimagining the future of the petrochemical industry without fossil fuels. Meeting projected demand for green hydrogen and related technologies would require over 2,000 tons of Iridium annually by 2050—more than 200 times today’s supply. Without new ways to reduce Iridium use, recycle it more efficiently, or replace it with abundant alternatives, we simply can’t scale the clean technologies needed to decarbonize heavy industry and transport.

Early Disease Diagnosis

New sensor technologies, inspired by the biological olfactory systems of living organisms are emerging as a powerful tool for health diagnostics. These devices use sensor arrays to detect and analyze volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath or bodily fluids, enabling non-invasive, real-time detection of disease biomarkers. Their core functionality relies on sensing materials that transduce chemical signals into electrical data—materials such as chemiresistors, conductive polymers, optical sensors, surface acoustic wave devices, and electrochemical sensors. Advances in these materials open the door to portable, low-cost diagnostic tools capable of detecting early-stage illnesses, offering new opportunities in personalized and preventive healthcare.

Self-driving labs and Miniaturized Chips

The Materials Data Factory will house and integrate multiple manufacturing equipment under one facility to streamline operations, eliminate delays, errors, and coordination challenges caused by multi-location setups. It will operate under precisely controlled conditions to produce high quality data reliably.

To make manufacturing data cheaper and faster, we will leverage self-driving labs that use continuous and real-time monitoring to operate with minimal human input. This will optimize manufacturing conditions faster through closed-loop feedback to increase hit rates—reducing material waste and experimental overhead. Additionally, we will use miniaturized devices (e.g., microfluidics reactors) to parallelize experiments and increase throughput.
