The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M Yaghi for pioneering metal-organic frameworks. Their work enables water harvesting from air, CO2 capture, toxic gas storage, and catalysing chemical reactions

Scientists Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M Yaghi won the Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday for their work in the development of metal-organic frameworks that dates back to 1989.

Robson, 88, was with University of Melbourne, Australia; Kitagawa, 74, with Japan’s Kyoto University; and Yaghi, 60, at University of California, Berkeley. Read More

“They developed a new form of molecular architecture, which can be used to harvest water from desert air, capture CO2 , store toxic gases or catalyse chemical reactions,” a statement said
