The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to scientists Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar Yaghi for creating a new type of molecular architecture — metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). They have enormous potential, opening opportunities for the production of custom materials with new functions.
About the significance of these discoveries, their impact on the further development of chemistry worldwide, prospects for creating new materials, as well as the achievements of Ukrainian scientists in this field – in the new episode of the program "About Science. Competently," which is released on the YouTube channel of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
The author and host of the program is the Vice President of the NAS of Ukraine, academician Volodymyr Seminozhenko.
The guest of the studio is the director of the Institute of Chemistry of Functional Materials of the Scientific and Technical Complex "Institute of Monocrystals" of the NAS of Ukraine, academician Valentyn Chebanov.
