framework

These data exist for many other hunted whale species, such as fin and sei whales, so the new study's methods could provide a framework for similar analyses for those whale species too.

The material -- a type of metal-organic framework, or MOF -- will be described in a paper to be published in the Nov. 15 print edition of the journal Science.

Their novel framework is published in the journal Nature Communications.

The material, based on a framework of ruthenium, fulfils the requirements of the 'Kitaev quantum spin liquid state' -- an elusive phenomenon that scientists have been trying to understand for decades.

These synthetic porous materials of interest to chemists specializing in selective encapsulation include such buzzwords as metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks, and zeolites.
