Hello DCHAS folks,

You might find this interesting. Disclosure: I am a PhD student at ASU, though not in the School of Molecular Sciences.

"It's a tale told time and time again.

Throughout the extraordinary advancements and achievements of human civilizations, the better that we can manipulate new materials, the better our lives have gotten. Think of ancient epochs names for materials, such as the Stone Age or the Bronze Age - all the way through to the plastics and silicon fueling the digital revolution of our current age.

But what if the next tale had its origins right here at Arizona State University?

It could, if one of the co-inventors of a new field has their final say. The field - reticular chemistry - invented in the 1990s at ASU, is now sparking a slew of discoveries to solve major problems around the world today. If truly successful, the 21st century may very well become known as the "Reticular Age."

Recently, the co-inventors of reticular chemistry gathered to recall the events that led to their achievements."
