😂 OOPS SAYS
A crystal that literally changes its shape just to avoid hanging out with the wrong molecules is a level of boundary-setting we should all aspire to.
What actually happened
Chemical separation can be energy-intensive when molecules have similar sizes and properties. Researchers from Shibaura Institute of Technology, Japan, have now developed an interlayer adaptive crystal that changes its spacing to recognize specific molecules.
