Chen-Ning Yang’s passing marks the end of an era. Few Nobel laureates have so deeply transformed how humanity understands the world. I had the honor of meeting him and his wife seven years ago — a memory that endures.

Omar once told us, “I just wanted to make beautiful compounds.” It was never about fame or prizes — just the beauty of molecular design itself.
“My dream was to publish at least one paper that receives 100 citations. Now my students say that our group has garnered over 250,000.” New #NobelPrize laureate in chemistry, Omar Yaghi, told us he entered into science to build beautiful things. What began as an appreciation

@sirfrasersays Watching all this unfold makes me miss the good old days at @uclachem even more — where it all began, and where so much of this story was written. Spent some unforgettable years there.

@sirfrasersays In 2016, the announcement caught me off guard — my world turned upside down overnight, in the best possible way. In 2025, I watched the broadcast calmly, almost knowingly. Been there, done that? Perhaps. Yet the second time carries a gentle, bittersweet weight.

So far I don’t have an answer yet. Omar’s winning has always been expected — something I’ve known deep in my heart. The only pity is that @sirfrasersays isn’t here to see it. He was always a great supporter of Omar and would have been truly delighted to hear the news.

Heartfelt congratulations to my postdoc advisor, Omar Yaghi @UCBerkeley, for getting the call from Stockholm! Amid the @NobelPrize excitement, I’ve found myself reflecting: what have I done right to have worked with two Nobel laureates during my PhD and postdoc years?
“My parents could barely read or write. It’s been quite a journey, science allows you to do it.” New laureate Omar Yaghi was in the middle of changing flights when we reached him, just after he heard that he had been awarded the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry. In this interview

Thank you, Pradip, for bringing this up. I have many fond memories associated with this work.
Very happy to see the mention of Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs) developed by @banerjee_r using high-throughput methods during his time in Prof. Omar Yaghi’s group in the Nobel Prize presentation. Truly remarkable! 👏✨ @iiserkol
