Researchers from the University of California at Berkeley and the Ruhr University Bochum have shown how
To encode information using a sequence of metals, you need to be able to read the shape of the metal circuit.For the first time, researchers used atomic probe tomography and were able to design an organometallic structure (MOS) with combinations of cobalt, cadmium, lead and manganese, and then create a complete material from it.

In the future, ISOs could become the basisprogrammable chemical molecule. For example, they can be programmed to administer an active pharmaceutical ingredient to the body and indicate a target from infected cells. Doctors would also be able to determine in advance which constituents of the drug should be absorbed in the body first.
“In the long term, such structures withprogrammed atomic sequences can completely change our understanding of the synthesis of materials, the researchers noted. "Synthetic materials can take on a whole new level of precision that was never thought of before."
