What's the story

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to three scientists for their groundbreaking work on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The winners are Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M Yaghi . Interestingly, these MOFs can be compared to Hermione Granger's magical bag from the Harry Potter series. These frameworks can store large amounts of gas in a small volume, similar to how Hermione's bag could hold unlimited items.

MOFs explained

What are metal-organic frameworks?

MOFs are materials made up of metal ions and organic molecules, which form a porous structure. These structures can be designed to have specific properties and functions, making them highly versatile. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences noted that the winners' work has opened up new poss
