Nobel Prize Winners in Chemistry: Pioneers of Metal-Organic Frameworks
Julia Robinson shares the story of Richard Robson, Susumu Kitagawa, and Omar Yaghi, winners of the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
From simple wooden models to 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 composed of metal ions linked by organic molecules in a regular repeating pattern, forming a 3D network.
