Nobel Prize in chemistry goes to trio of scientists for developing ‘metal-organic frameworks’
- Three scientists, Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar Yaghi, won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing metal-organic frameworks that capture carbon dioxide and harvest water from desert air.
- The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the trio for their groundbreaking work from the late 1980s to the early 2000s in creating porous structures, leading to tens of thousands of different MOFs being developed.
- The laureates will share an award of 11 million Swedish crowns and will receive their honors at ceremonies on December 10, marking Nobel's anniversary.
- Hans Ellegren, secretary general of the Academy, highlighted the potential of MOFs to create materials with tailored properties that can tackle sustainability challenges.
