In honour of the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry, we’ve curated a collection of impactful articles from across RSC journals on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) 🏆

Free to read until the end of November 👉 pubs.rsc.org/en/journals/...

Six of the nine Nobel Prize winners this year work in the U.S.
Three of the six were born outside the U.S., which is the pattern most years. No country has benefited more from welcoming immigrants from around the world.

I'm really happy to see that MOFs got the Nobel prize, & that they picked these 3 scientists, who really drove the field. Especially Richard Robson, whose visionary paper showed the first synthesis & predicted the design & functionality of these materials #ChemNobel #Chemsky @rsc-pormat.bsky.social

Congratulations to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar Yaghi! For more reaction, follow our live blog.

I hope they didn't try to charge you to enter!

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

A remarkable transformation in @rsc.org prizes.
30% of prizes recognise teams rather than individuals (up from 5%).
36% of prize-winners are early-career (up from 4%)
38% of prize winners are women (up from 25%)
Twice as many prizes for work outside universities.

Trump is threatening punitive tariffs on patented and branded medicines, unless they build US manufacturing plants. That might look like an attempt to coerce multinationals to invest but that view belies the complexity of the industry and its supply chains.

If you hate the Pope because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

May we all be difficult women - in my experience all it takes is to have an opinion.

The Panorama investigation about the Met confirms my argument that all the racists know they are racists. They happily talk about it to other racists. We should ignore their faux outrage when being called out.
