Scientists Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M Yaghi won the Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday for their work in the development of metal-organic frameworks that dates back to 1989.
Robson, 88, was with University of Melbourne, Australia; Kitagawa, 74, with Japan’s Kyoto University; and Yaghi, 60, at University of California, Berkeley.
“They developed a new form of molecular architecture, which can be used to harvest water from desert air, capture CO2, store toxic gases or catalyse chemical reactions,” a statement said.
