The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M Yaghi for developing metal-organic frameworks.

These structures, with their large cavities, enable applications like water harvesting from desert air, pollutant extraction and carbon capture.

Their work has opened new possibilities for custom-made materials with diverse functions.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to three scientists for their research that paved the way for harvesting water from desert air, extracting pollutants from water, capturing carbon dioxide and storing hydrogen.

The three researchers — Susumu Kitagawa from Kyoto University, Japan, Richard Robson from the University of Melbourne, Australia and Omar M Ya
