"The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in chemistry to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M Yaghi for their work in the development of metal-organic frameworks. The three scientists, who won the award on Wednesday, come from the universities of Kyoto in Japan, Melbourne in Australia and Berkeley in the United States, respectively. list of 3 itemsend of list"
"The three have created molecular constructions with large spaces through which gases and other chemicals can flow, read a statement from the Nobel Prize. Such constructions can be used to harvest water from desert air, capture carbon dioxide, store toxic gases or catalyse chemical reactions, it added. Metal-organic frameworks have enormous potential, bringing previously unforeseen opportunities for custom-made materials with new functions, said Heiner Linke, chair of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry."
Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M Yaghi received the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing metal-organic frameworks. The scientists are based at Kyoto University, the University of Melbourne and the University of California, Berkeley. Metal-organic frameworks are molecular constructions with large internal spaces that allow gases and chemicals to flow. These structures enable harvesting water from desert air, capturing carbon dioxide, storing toxic gases and catalysing chemical reactions. Heiner Linke, chair of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry, stated that metal-organic frameworks offer enormous potential and create new opportunities for designing custom-made materials with novel functions.
