The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar Yaghi for their pioneering work on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). These revolutionary porous materials have diverse applications, including harvesting water from arid air, capturing carbon dioxide, and purifying water. The MOFs' unique structure, akin to molecular-sized hotel rooms, allows them to store and release gases and liquids efficiently, holding immense potential for various technological advancements.
