Summary
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi for their development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a revolutionary type of molecular architecture. These frameworks contain large cavities that can store molecules, creating new possibilities for chemical applications and storage. The researchers essentially created 'new rooms for chemistry' through their innovative molecular constructions.
