Australian chemist Richard Robson, along with Susumu Kitagawa and Omar Yaghi, won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), porous materials that have significant applications in gas capture, environmental cleanup, and medical fields, highlighting the importance of fundamental scientific research and its long-term impact.
Omar Yaghi, a UC Berkeley chemist, was awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his pioneering work in reticular chemistry, creating metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with vast applications including water harvesting, carbon capture, and clean energy storage, significantly advancing sustainable technology and climate change mitigation.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar Yaghi for developing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), revolutionary porous materials capable of harvesting water from desert air, capturing CO2, and removing toxins from water, with potential applications in energy, environment, and industry.
Researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati have developed a new superhydrophobic material by modifying metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with hydrocarbon chains. This innovative approach results in a water contact angle exceeding 160 degrees, making the material nearly completely water-repellent. The material's unique properties, attributed to a high-entropy state of the grafted chains, offer potential applications in self-cleaning surfaces for automobiles and architecture. The study was published in Materials Horizons.
