New 3D COF structure could help tune porous materials for batteries and cleanup
A research team synthesized and determined the structure of a borate-linked 3D crystalline covalent organic framework, TCTP-COF, via electron diffraction for the first time. These findings will help scientists determine the structure-property relationships for other 3D COFs and facilitate their tuning for advanced applications.
Overcoming many of society's biggest challenges requires innovations in materials chemistry to achieve specific goals: carbon sequestration to mitigate climate change, absorbing toxic chemicals for environmental remediation and delivering life-saving compounds to cure disease, for example.

‘Moana’ Director Thomas Kail on Dwayne Johnson’s Live-Action Maui Look and Remaking a Beloved Hit: In Theater, ‘We Do Revivals All the Time’
Back in 2015, when “Hamilton” was the toast of Broadway, director Thomas Kail always knew where to find the musical’s creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda when he wasn’t on stage.
“I would hear something coming from the dressing room, and I was like, ‘Is he writing ‘Moana‘ again?'” Kail says.
Indeed, Miranda was using his downtime on “Hamilton” to compose the soundtrack for Disney’s 2016 animated adventure “Moana,” which includes such memorable tunes as “How Far I’ll Go” and “You’re Welcome.” In between rehearsals, Kail remembers Miranda recruiting cast members like Phillipa Soo to record demos of songs before sending them off to the studio.

Wimbledon 2026 results: Jannik Sinner beats Novak Djokovic to set up Alexander Zverev final
Defending champion Jannik Sinner produced a devastating display to end Novak Djokovic's latest bid for a standalone record 25th Grand Slam title and reach the Wimbledon final against Alexander Zverev.
Just as he did at this stage last year, Sinner produced a display of power and precision to deny Djokovic in his pursuit of equalling Roger Federer's record eight men's singles titles at the All England Club.
Sinner did not offer a break point until midway through the third set but dismissed the 39-year-old Djokovic's only opportunity with an ace before going on to win 6-4 6-4 6-4.
