STOCKHOLM: The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to three scientists- Susumu Kitagawa (Japan), Richard Robson (Australia), and Omar M. Yaghi (United States)- for their pioneering work in developing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).

The trio was honoured for creating molecular structures with large internal spaces, allowing gases and other chemicals to pass through. These porous materials, known as MOFs, have a wide range of potential uses, including harvesting water from desert air, capturing carbon dioxide, storing toxic gases, and catalyzing chemical reactions.

“The 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi ‘for the development of metal-organic frameworks’,” announced the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
