2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Honor MOF Pioneers

Omar Yaghi (UC Berkeley), Susumu Kitagawa (Kyoto), and Richard Robson (Melbourne) have been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)—porous molecular architectures with vast internal surface areas. These structures can absorb, store, and release gases, enabling breakthroughs in water harvesting, carbon capture, hydrogen storage, and pollutant removal.
