Scientists have developed a new method of creating nanoporous materials with potential applications in everything from water purification to chemical sensors.In order to produce a porous material it is necessary to have multiple components. When the minor component is removed, small pores are left in its place. Until now, creating nanoporous materials was limiting as it was believed the minor component had to be connected throughout the structure as well as to the outside in order for it to be removed….
