"The Nobel Prize laureates in chemistry 2025 have created molecular constructions with large spaces through which gases and other chemicals can flow," the academy said in a statement.
It added that these constructions, metal-organic frameworks, can be used to harvest water from desert air, capture carbon dioxide, store toxic gases or catalyse chemical reactions.
Kitagawa is a professor at Kyoto University in Japan. Robson, born in Britain, works at the University of Melbourne in Australia. Yaghi, born in Amman, Jordan, is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley in the United States.
