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.

Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar Yaghi’s work has led to structures that can extract pollutants from water, capture carbon dioxide and store hydrogen. The Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded ...

Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry on Wednesday for developing metal-organic frameworks. The prize went to Demis Hassabis, John Jumper and ...

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 ...

For decades, it's been known that subtle chemical patterns exist in metal alloys, but researchers thought they were too minor to matter—or that they got erased during manufacturing. However, recent ...

Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi will share the prize. Their structures can "capture carbon dioxide, store toxic gases or catalyse chemical reactions," the committee said.
