The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry recognized the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by Richard Robson, Susumu Kitagawa, and Omar M. Yaghi. MOFs are porous materials with high surface areas, useful for applications like carbon dioxide capture and hydrogen storage.

The Cambridge-based startup Immaterial has created a platform to produce monolithic MOFs, overcoming limitations of traditional powder forms. With £13.5M in recent funding, Immaterial aims to scale production for industrial applications, contributing to advancements in sustainable technologies.
