Cover Story: Radioactive pollutants including long-lived Technetium (99Tc) provide a significant contribution to the environmental hazard. As these pollutants have a direct impact on human physiology, they must be disposed of carefully from the environment. Nanoporous materials with cheap, low toxic and high stability are ideal candidates to effectively capture the pollutants and reduce the environmental damage. State-of-the art simulations on the nanoporous oxide 12CaO•7Al2O3 (C12A7) which consists of subnanometer-sized cages evidence the possibility of capturing radioactive 99Tc in the form of gaseous atoms and dimers.
