The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M Yaghi for their groundbreaking research on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Their work, described as 'molecular architecture,' enables the creation of porous structures with vast internal spaces, offering potential solutions to global challenges like carbon capture for climate change and plastic pollution reduction. The trio will share the 11 million Swedish kronor prize money.
