PhD in Industrial Technologies, researcher in Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF), Department of Chemical, Energy, and Mechanical Technology, Rey Juan Carlos University

I just found out and am celebrating with my colleagues, as this is a major breakthrough and a very important recognition for our field of research. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi recognizes the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), porous materials formed by metal ions and organic ligands that, since their discovery around 1995, have opened new frontiers in fields such as catalysis, CO₂ capture and utilization, gas storage, controlled drug release, and applications in magnetism and luminescence. This award highlights their enormous potential and consolidates the growing scientific interest in these materials, driving research towards more sustainable and multifunctional chemistry.
