Chemistry prize goes to three scientists
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Susumu Kitagawa of Kyoto University, Richard Robson of the University of Melbourne, and Omar M. Yaghi of the University of California, Berkeley, for the development of metal-organic frameworks. Their pioneering work has led to the creation of molecular materials with vast internal spaces that can capture, store and transform a range of substances - from water vapour to carbon dioxide and toxic gases.
