- Congratulations to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M Yaghi for winning the #NobelPrize in Chemistry for work on metal-organic frameworks Their work could tackle some of the biggest problems on our planet, including capturing carbon dioxide to help tackle #climatechange
- FoNS academics working in this area reacted: Dr Becky Greenaway, @imperialchemistry.bsky.social, said that lots of chemists had been wondering when metal-organic frameworks would get the Nobel Prize... "and it’s finally happened!" Read @beckylgreenaway.bsky.social in the Guardian ⬇️ bit.ly/4o5ucYROct 8, 2025 14:17
- Professor Kim Jelfs, @imperialchemistry.bsky.social, said that their work “sparked a whole field,” and that “there’s an enormous number of people that work in this area now” Read her comments in the New York Times ⬇️ bit.ly/3KKJ0Od #OurImperial
