The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2025 was announced on Wednesday. Three scientists—Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar Yaghi—were honored for their pioneering work on metal‑organic frameworks, or MOFs.
MOFs are a special type of material made from metal atoms linked by organic molecules. They create a porous structure that can trap gases, store energy and even clean water. The trio’s research has opened up new possibilities for clean‑energy storage, environmental cleanup and advanced materials design.
The Nobel Committee praised the researchers for turning a theoretical idea into practical tools that could help solve global challenges. Their breakthrough shows how chemistry can deliver tangible benefits for society.
The award was presented in Stockholm, Sweden, as part of the annual Nobel Prize ceremony. The announcement reinforces the Nobel Prize’s reputation for celebrating discoveries that shape the future of science.
