Reacción a "Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi for creating porous materials with blocks of molecules that capture substances and drive reactions "

This Nobel Prize celebrates a true revolution in materials science. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs; or porous coordination polymers, PCPs) have transformed our understanding and construction of matter. They represent the beauty of materials that form themselves, combining chemistry and design with unique elegance. Thanks to the visionary work of Kitagawa, Robson, and Yaghi, we can now create materials with atomic precision to capture CO₂, store hydrogen, or deliver drugs, even RNA, directly to a tumor. Their discovery opened up a new universe of possibilities in energy, the environment, and health, and will continue to inspire generations of scientists for decades to come.
