2025 chemistry laureates

Congratulations to Professors Susumu Kitagawa (Kyoto University, Japan), Richard Robson (University of Melbourne, Australia), and Omar M. Yaghi (University of California, Berkeley, USA), laureates of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025 “for the development of metal–organic frameworks”.

MOFs are porous crystalline materials with remarkable structural versatility and a wide range of applications, from gas storage and catalysis to drug delivery. Learn more about their significance in this article from IUCrJ (2014). 1, 563–570.
