Today's Nobel Prize in Chemistry is for the discovery and stabilization of metal-organic frameworks, stable networks of metal ions and carbon (organic) molecules

Applications of these porous compounds include catalysis and pollution remediation

Trio honoured for developing revolutionary materials for applications ranging from gas storage to drug delivery The Nobel prize in chemistry has been awarded to three scientists who created revolutionary porous materials that can harvest water from desert air, capture carbon dioxide from industrial facilities and remove toxins from water. Susumu Kitagawa, of Kyoto University, Richard Robson, of the University of Melbourne, and Omar Yaghi, of the University of California, Berkeley, shared the 11m Swedish kronor (about £871,400) prize awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm.
