The Nobel Prize 2025 in Chemistry celebrates a discovery that changed how science understands and uses matter. In this clear and insightful account, Gary C. Mansfield explains how Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi built the foundation of a new field-metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-and showed that even empty space can become a working part of chemistry.
Through engaging storytelling and accessible explanations, readers will see how these porous materials can capture carbon dioxide, harvest water from desert air, and store clean fuels such as hydrogen. The book explores how reticular chemistry connects atomic design to real-world problems, from climate change and water scarcity to pollution control and energy storage.
More than a profile of three scientists, this is a story of global collaboration, perseverance, and imagination. From the laboratories of Kyoto, Melbourne, and Berkeley, these discoveries show how chemistry can move from theory to life-saving practice.
Whether you are interested in environmental science, advanced materials, or simply want to understand why the Nobel Committee honored this work, Nobel Prize 2025 in Chemistry offers a detailed, readable look at the science shaping the twenty-first century.
