Pioneers of Metal-Organic Frameworks Win Nobel Prize
Julia Robinson recounts the story of Richard Robson, Susumu Kitagawa, and Omar Yaghi, winners of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
From humble beginnings with wooden models to the creation of thousands of structures, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have evolved into a thriving field of research with vast potential applications.
With their seemingly infinite potential applications, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a vibrant international field of research.
MOFs are highly porous materials consisting of metal ions linked by organic molecules in a regular repeating pattern, forming a 3D network.
