New Delhi, Oct 8: The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to three pioneering scientists — Susumu Kitagawa (Japan), Richard Robson (Australia), and Omar M. Yaghi (United States) — for their groundbreaking work in the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a new class of porous materials with wide-ranging applications.

Announced by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the trio was recognised “for the development of metal-organic frameworks,” innovative molecular structures that allow gases and chemicals to pass through their internal cavities. These frameworks are revolutionising material science with uses in carbon capture, water harvesting from arid air, gas storage, environmental cleanup, and more.
