India, Oct. 8 -- The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025 has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi "for the development of metal-organic frameworks."

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said the three laureates developed 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," the release said.

The release said that through their development of metal-organic frameworks, the laureates have provided chemists with new opportunities to solve some of the challenges they face.
