DESCRIPTION:Prof. Berend Smit\nEPFL Valais\nIt is now possible to make an 
 enormous spectrum of different nonporous materials simply by changing the 
 building blocks in the synthesis of Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) or rel
 ated materials. This unique chemical tenability allows us to tailor-make m
 aterials that are optimal for a given application. The promise of finding 
 just the right material seems remote however: because of practical imitati
 ons\, we can only ever synthesise\, characterise and test a tiny fraction 
 of all possible materials. To take full advantage of this development\, th
 erefore\, we need to develop alternative techniques\, collectively referre
 d to as Materials Genomics\, to rapidly screen large numbers of materials 
 and obtain fundamental insights into the chemical nature of the ideal mate
 rial for a given application. In this lecture we illustrate this approach 
 by suggesting how to obtain optimal materials for gas separations and gas 
 storage.\n
