Nano Snacks! Researchers Say Edible Nanostructures Taste Like Saltines
Edible MOFs: a How-To Northwestern UniversityThe new metal-organic frameworks taste a bit like Saltines, apparently A dash of this, a pinch of that, and it seems researchers at Northwestern have cooked up a new class of nanostructures that aren't just ideal for such applications as gas storage or medical technologies, but also edible. The team, which began their research with a completely different outcome in mind, found that their recipe produced natural and edible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), porous crystalline structures with unique properties that are usually difficult to make and composed of toxic petroleum products. MOFs are tiny lattice-like crystals that contain a lot of free space for the storage of things like hydrogen gas molecules (like in a fuel cell, say). MOF tech has been around for more than a decade, but they are usually made from chemicals that are derived from crude oil. They aren't particularly easy to make and once produced they aren't easy to dispose of due to their
