Crops can now survive in harsh conditions too due to chemical tech

Plants usually endure long, blazing-hot days to provide the fruits and vegetables that growers want. The incoming sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays will be intense — enough to break some crops. Such plants would possibly have the benefit of an inbuilt cream. Currently, a team of scientists in Australia has stepped in to lend aid.
A family of nanoparticles called metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs, will absorb harmful ultraviolet ra....
