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 "

The work of Yaghi, Kitagawa, and Robson has opened the door to a new universe of materials. They have shown that by combining metals and small molecules as if they were Lego pieces, it is possible to design structures with virtually unlimited geometries, each optimized to perform a very specific function.

With a dose of geometry, chemistry, and a little ‘magic,’ today we can imagine, design, and build the perfect material for every challenge: from capturing CO₂ from the atmosphere, storing energy cleanly, or even extracting water from the air in the middle of the desert. What began as a quiet revolution in materials chemistry has ended up forever transforming the way scientists understand and create matter.
