Technology and the built world

Moët & Chandon

Moët Hennessy

Moët Hennessy is the wines and spirits division of the French luxury group LVMH, formed in 1971 from the champagne house Moët et Chandon and the cognac house Hennessy.

A MOF adsorption heat pump is a sorption heating or cooling machine in which a metal-organic framework adsorbent binds and releases water refrigerant to move heat between an evaporator and a condenser.

MOF monoliths

MOF monoliths are self-supporting, macroscopic bodies of metal–organic framework (MOF) material, formed as continuous porous solids rather than powders and used as structured adsorbents for gas storage, separation, and carbon capture.

MOF thermoelectrics

MOF thermoelectrics are thermoelectric materials based on metal–organic frameworks, hybrid solids whose porous structure gives very low thermal conductivity and tunable electronic properties for converting heat into electricity.

MOF water harvesting from desert air

MOF water harvesting from desert air captures water vapor in porous metal–organic frameworks overnight and releases it as drinking water using sunlight, pioneered by Omar Yaghi.

MOF-303

MOF-303 is an aluminum-based metal–organic framework introduced at the University of California, Berkeley in 2018 as a water-harvesting sorbent that adsorbs desert air moisture and releases it under mild heating.

MOF-74

MOF-74 is a family of metal-organic frameworks built from divalent metal ions and dobdc linkers, forming hexagonal channels with open metal sites that bind CO2 strongly.

MOF-801

MOF-801 is a microporous zirconium-based metal–organic framework with fumarate linkers, reported by Omar Yaghi's group at Berkeley in 2014 and first applied to atmospheric water harvesting.

MOF-801 water harvester

The MOF-801 water harvester is a solar-powered device that extracts drinkable water from desert air as dry as 10% humidity, first demonstrated in Tempe, Arizona, in 2017.

MOF-based chemical warfare agent sensors

MOF-based chemical warfare agent sensors are detectors that use porous metal-organic frameworks to capture and signal nerve and blister agents through changes in optical absorbance, luminescence, or conductivity.

MOF-based hydrogen isotope separation

MOF-based hydrogen isotope separation uses metal–organic frameworks, porous crystalline solids, to separate hydrogen isotopes through quantum effects in narrow pores and at strong adsorption sites.

MOF-based mixed-matrix membranes

MOF-based mixed-matrix membranes, or MOF-based MMMs, combine metal-organic framework particles with a polymer matrix to raise both gas permeability and selectivity, chiefly for carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen separation.

MOF-based proton exchange membranes

MOF-based proton exchange membranes are fuel-cell electrolyte membranes that use metal–organic frameworks as polymer fillers or self-standing films, investigated as cheaper, less water-dependent alternatives to Nafion.

Moffat Tunnel

The Moffat Tunnel is a 6.2-mile active railroad tunnel beneath the Continental Divide in the Colorado Rockies, opened in 1928 and once the largest railroad tunnel in the Western Hemisphere.

Moffett Federal Airfield

Moffett Federal Airfield, also known as Moffett Field, is a joint military and civilian airfield near Mountain View, California, operated by NASA since 1994 and leased partly to Google.

Mogami-class frigate

The Mogami-class frigate, also known as the 30FFM, is a class of multi-mission frigates of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, crewed by about 90 and capable of mine countermeasures.

Mohale Dam

Mohale Dam is a 145-meter-high concrete-faced rockfill dam on the Senqunyane River in the Lesotho Highlands, completed in 2002 as part of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project.

Mohamad Akra

Mohamad Akra is a computer scientist who earned a Ph.D. from MIT in 1993 and is best known as co-author of the Akra–Bazzi method, a 1998 generalization of the master theorem.

Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge

The Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC) is a biennial robotics competition in Abu Dhabi where teams operate autonomous aerial, ground, and surface robots.

Mohamed M. Atalla

Mohamed M. Atalla, known as John Atalla (1924–2009), was an Egyptian-American engineer at Bell Labs who, with Dawon Kahng, demonstrated the first MOSFET in 1959–1960.

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, also published as Mohammad K. Nazeeruddin, is an Indian-born materials chemist at EPFL in Switzerland known for dye-sensitized and perovskite solar cells.

Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park

The Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is a utility-scale solar park in Dubai, launched in 2012 and described as the world's largest single-site solar park.

Mohammed V International Airport (مطار محمد الخامس الدولي)

Mohammed V International Airport (مطار محمد الخامس الدولي) is Morocco's largest airport, serving Casablanca from Nouaceur about 30 km south of the city as the hub of Royal Air Maroc.

Mohave Power Station

The Mohave Power Station was a 1,580 MW coal-fired plant in Laughlin, Nevada, operating from 1971 to 2005 and fed by the only long-distance coal-slurry pipeline in the United States.

Mohawk Airlines

Mohawk Airlines was a regional airline serving New York and Pennsylvania from 1945 until its 1972 merger with Allegheny Airlines, and hired the first African American flight attendant.

Moheshkhali Floating LNG Terminal

The Moheshkhali Floating LNG Terminal (MLNG) is Bangladesh's first LNG import facility, an FSRU moored off Moheshkhali Island in the Bay of Bengal, commissioned in 2018.
