I am absolutely thrilled about the Nobel Prize for MOFs! Seeing these porous, flexible, almost magical materials—capable of capturing gases, cleaning the air, or even extracting water from dry air—receive this recognition fills me with pride, hope, and excitement. I have worked with them, seen them “breathe” and felt their potential. This award not only celebrates a scientific breakthrough, but also a vision of the future: chemistry that is not content with understanding the world, but improves it. I am moved to think that behind each crystalline structure there are years of curiosity, passion and perseverance. What immense joy to see how science is changing the course of the planet!
