Reacción a "Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi for creating porous materials with blocks of molecules that capture substances and drive reactions "

The recent Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to Professors Kitagawa, Robson, and Yaghi for the development of metal-organic frameworks, known as MOFs, is a well-deserved recognition. These materials have a unique structure that can be ‘custom designed’ to perform specific functions in various applications. In my more than four years of work in this field, I have seen their extraordinary versatility: from capturing pollutants to their use in energy applications for fuel cells and even in innovative treatments in nanomedicine. This award not only celebrates a scientific breakthrough, but also highlights a technological platform with transformative potential.
