Nobel Prize in Chemistry Awarded

  • 🏆 The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar Yaghi.
  • 🔬 The prize recognizes their groundbreaking work in the development of metal-organic frameworks.

Metal-Organic Frameworks Explained

  • 💡 Researchers discovered a method to combine inorganic building blocks with organic building blocks.
  • 🧱 These components are stitched together to create frameworks that encompass internal space.
  • ⚙️ These frameworks can be designed to trap gases such as water, carbon dioxide, or hydrogen.
  • 💧 They also have the potential to be designed to seek out contaminants in water or the atmosphere, like PFAS or organic pollutants.
