By virtue of their open network structures and low densities, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are soft materials that exhibit elastic instabilities at low applied stresses. The conventional strategy for improving elastic stability is to increase the connectivity of the underlying MOF network, which necessarily increases the material density and reduces the porosity. Here we demonstrate an alternative paradigm, whereby elastic stability is enhanced in a MOF with an aperiodic network topology.

Article Synopsis
  • Poor outcomes in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) are often linked with worsening renal function (WRF), but its impact on prognosis is debated.
  • A systematic review involving 13 studies with over 8,000 patients revealed that those with WRF had a higher risk of death, but achieving decongestion significantly improved their outcomes.
  • The study concludes that decongestion can reduce the harmful risks associated with WRF, suggesting future research should consider volume status when evaluating WRF outcomes.
