Metal-organic frameworks can store huge amounts of gas in a tiny space—enabling advances that could help humans fight climate change and tackle other challenges ...

Three scientists have been awarded the 2025 Nobel prize in chemistry for discovering a new form of molecular architecture: crystals that contain large cavities.

The metal-organic frameworks discovered by the three scientists are helping to revolutionise green technology and many other areas.

These are a bit like hotels for chemicals, said Heiner Linke, who chairs the Nobel Committee for Chemistry. Or perhaps self-assembling houses, added Olof Ramstrom, another committee member. Or the ...
