The 2025 Nobel Prize laureates in Chemistry have created molecular constructions with large spaces through which gases and other chemicals can flow. These constructions, known as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), can be used to harvest water from desert air, capture carbon dioxide, store toxic gases, or catalyse chemical reactions. Scientists Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar Yaghi won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for the development of metal–organic frameworks," the award-giving body announced today (8 October). #NobelPrize #chemistry #TBSnews

🏆 *2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry: Unlocking the Power of Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs)* ⚗️ Exciting news from the world of chemistry! The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi for their groundbreaking work in developing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) a revolutionary class of porous materials. 🔍 *What are MOFs?* MOFs are crystalline structures made by linking metal ions with organic molecules, forming frameworks full of tiny cavities. These cavities can store, separate, or transport gases and molecules — acting like molecular sponges. 💡 *Why this matters:* MOFs have transformed modern chemistry with their wide-ranging potential: ✨ Capture and store carbon dioxide 💧 Harvest water from desert air 🔋 Catalyze reactions or even conduct electricity 🌱 Enable clean energy and environmental applications 🌟 Their work opens doors to sustainable solutions in energy, environment, and materials science — proving once again how chemistry shapes our future. 🎉 Congratulations to the laureates for this well-deserved recognition! #NobelPrize #Chemistry #MOF #Sustainability #MaterialsScience #Innovation #Research #ScienceCommunication

🌟 Breaking News: 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Announced! 🌟 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi for their groundbreaking development of Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs). These laureates have revolutionized chemistry by creating molecular architectures with vast internal spaces that allow gases and other molecules to move freely. Their invention — metal–organic frameworks — has opened new frontiers in science and technology, enabling: 🌿 Water harvesting from desert air 🌍 Carbon dioxide capture ☣️ Safe storage of toxic gases ⚗️ Catalysis of chemical reactions In MOFs, metal ions act as cornerstones, connected by organic linkers to form crystalline structures with large, tunable cavities. By varying these building blocks, scientists can design materials for specific applications, including gas storage, catalysis, and even conductivity. As noted by Heiner Linke, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry: > “Metal–organic frameworks have enormous potential, bringing previously unforeseen opportunities for custom-made materials with new functions.” 🔬 A monumental achievement in the field of materials chemistry — shaping a smarter, cleaner, and more sustainable future. #NobelPrize #Chemistry #MOFs #ScientificInnovation #MaterialsScience #Sustainability #Research #Innovation

Omar Yaghi, a chemist at the University of California, Berkeley, was awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry today! He created a field called reticular chemistry, which involves stitching together molecular building blocks to form porous structures — metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) — with myriad applications. Yaghi has an appointment in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering alongside his primary affiliation with the College of Chemistry. He split the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Richard Robson of the University of Melbourne, Australia, and Susumu Kitagawa of Kyoto University, Japan. Read the Berkeley News story: bit.ly/48VwG7P

This week, the 2025 Nobel Prize in chemistry went to a trio of scientists for pioneering metal–organic frameworks, or MOFs for short. The Nobel committee likened MOFs to “rooms in a hotel” that tiny molecules can enter and leave. Scientists Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar Yaghi, who won the award, established the field in the late 1980s. Their work set off a boom in research around the world, including at North Texas institutions like the University of Texas at Dallas. by Miriam Fauzia
