Nobel Prize in chemistry goes to discovery that could trap C02 and bring water to deserts

Three scientists have won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for their development of new molecular structures that can trap vast quantities of gas inside. The discovery lays the groundwork to potentially suck greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere or harvest moisture from desert environments. The chairperson of the committee that made the award compared the structures called metal-organic frameworks to a seemingly bottomless magical handbag featured in the “Harry Potter” series or to Mary Poppins’ enchanted carpet bag…
