Scientists from Australia, Japan and America were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry
The award-giving organization told Stockholm on Wednesday, “Scientists Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar Yagi won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for” the development of a metal-extraction. “
The Royal Academy of Science said, the new Nobel Prize winners have “made molecular construction with large places through which gases and other chemicals may flow.”
The committee said in a statement, “These constructions, metal-carbonic structures can be used to collect water from desert air, catch carbon dioxide, store toxic gases or to catalyze chemical reactions.”
The committee said that development increased over a period of many years, which started with Robson in 1989 and included the contribution of Kitagawa and Yagi between 1992 and 2003.
74-year-old Kitagawa is a professor at Kyoto University in Japan, 88-year-old Robson is a professor at Melbourne University and 60-year-old Yagi, born in Jordan, is a professor at California-Barkle University.
The Nobel Prize, which is also offered for excellent achievements in physics, chemistry, literature and peace, comes with 11 million Swedish Crown ($ 1.6 million CDN) prize money.
The award for literature will be given on Thursday and the Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on Friday. The Economics Award will be announced on 13 October.
The winners are awarded the Nobel Prizes at a ceremony on 10 December on the anniversary of the death of Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel.
