US EditionNobel Prize in chemistry goes to trio of scientists for developing ‘metal-organic frameworks’
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry honors three scientists whose metal-organic frameworks enable gas flow and offer solutions for carbon capture, water harvesting, and pollution control.
- Richard Robson, Susumu Kitagawa, and Omar Yaghi won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing metal-organic frameworks that tackle challenges like climate change and water scarcity.
- These MOFs can absorb and store gases, aiding in capturing carbon dioxide and purifying water, as noted by the Nobel Committee for Chemistry.
- The trio's work has enabled the creation of diverse materials with applications in sustainability, according to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
- The Nobel Prize recognizes significant achievements in science, and this year's chemistry award continues a tradition dating back to its establishment by Alfred Nobel.
