One size fits most

Nature volume 495, pages 456457 (28 March 2013) | Download Citation

Crystalline 'sponges' offer a way to impose order on small molecules so that their structures can be solved by X-ray crystallography. This enables nanogram quantities of material to be analysed using the technique. See Article p.461
