Plasma reactors are promising to decarbonize the production of NH, but their NH energy yields need to improve to facilitate their broad adoption. Two emerging strategies to reduce energy inefficiencies aim to protect the freshly formed NH from destruction by the plasma by leveraging NH adsorption properties of porous materials as either catalyst supports or as membranes. As metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising porous materials for adsorption-based applications, we performed large-scale computational screening of 13,460 MOFs to study their potential for the above-mentioned uses.

Genetic variants at the CPED1-WNT16 locus are dually associated with bone- and muscle-related traits. While Wnt16 is necessary for bone mass and strength, this fails to explain pleiotropy at this locus.
