Yaghi are awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025 for the development of a new type of molecular architecture. The constructions they created metal-organic frameworks – contain large cavities in which molecules can flow in and out. Researchers have used them to harvest water from desert air, extract pollutants from water, capture carbon dioxide and store hydrogen. Through the development of metal-organic frameworks, the laureates have provided chemists with new opportunities for solving some of the challenges we face. Astronaut Spots Space Train!
