Nobel Week 2025: Celebrating Chemistry, MOFs & Scientific Excellence

Nobel Week 2025 is currently taking place in Stockholm and Oslo, bringing together leading scientists, innovators, and global decision-makers to celebrate outstanding achievements in research and discovery.

In the lead-up to the award ceremony, the 2025 Nobel Prize Lectures have provided remarkable insights into the history and scientific breakthroughs underlying this year’s prize-awarded work. A highlight of the programme was the 2025 Nobel Prize Lecture in Chemistry, delivered by Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi, offering a comprehensive perspective on the development and impact of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs).
