While it is a solid at room temperatures, it still allows lithium ions to travel as quickly through its molecular structure as its liquid cousins. How and why these ions are able to do this ...

Porosity is a rare property for molecular materials but, surprisingly, porous solids built from discrete organic cage molecules have emerged as a versatile functional-materials platform. From ...
