When the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry honored Omar Yaghi—the "father of metal-organic frameworks," or MOFs—along with Susumu Kitagawa and Richard Robson, it celebrated more than the creation of a new class of crystalline ...
This year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to three researchers, including University at Albany alum Omar Yaghi, for their work on developing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)—versatile molecular materials that can be ...
The 2025 Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded to Richard Robson, Susumu Kitagawa and Omar Yaghi on Oct. 8, 2025, for the development of metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs, which are tunable crystal structures with extremely ...
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O).
