"MOF’s deeper lesson lies in their metaphor: a MOF’s strength comes from the bonds between its molecules—just as our future depends on the bonds we build across nations and generations. MOF science is now practiced in more than 100 countries, inspiring young people everywhere, especially in the developing world." The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2025 was awarded jointly to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi "for the development of metal–organic frameworks". © Nobel Prize Outreach.
