✨ Their stories remind us that diverse backgrounds and perspectives can converge to create transformative science. Innovation built one molecule (and one dream) at a time. (9/9) #NobelPrize #Chemistry #STEM #Inspiration

Yaghi discovered his love for chemistry as a child after seeing ball-and-stick molecular diagrams in a library book. He now applies his passion for “building beautiful things” to solving global challenges like clean water and energy. https://t.co/yfbUPTCLuc (8/9)

👨‍🔬 Omar M. Yaghi Born in 1965 in Jordan to a Palestinian refugee family, he moved to the USA at the age of 15 and received his Ph.D. in 1990 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is currently a Professor at the University of California, Berkeley. (7/9)

His breakthrough idea came in 1974 while building molecular models for his students, imagining what would happen if molecules were used as building blocks instead of rods and balls. That insight laid the groundwork for the entire field of MOFs. https://t.co/oOHWsC8iiQ (6/9)

👨‍🔬 Richard Robson Born in 1937 in England, he received his bachelor's degree in chemistry in 1959 and his Ph.D. in 1962, both from Brasenose College, Oxford. He is currently a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Melbourne, Australia. (5/9)

Kitagawa’s research is deeply rooted in a tradition of scientific curiosity inspired by Japanese Nobel laureates Kenichi Fukui and Akira Yoshino. He credits his “big challenge mindset” for driving him to pursue what others deemed impossible. https://t.co/eXl3FpdE3o (4/9)

👨‍🔬 Susumu Kitagawa Born in 1951 in Japan, he received his PhD from Kyoto University in 1879. Currently, he is a Distinguished Professor at Kyoto University and co-founder of iCeMS. (3/9)

These intricate molecular structures with large internal spaces can trap, store, or filter gases. These remarkable materials have the potential to capture carbon dioxide, harvest water from desert air, store toxic gases, and catalyze chemical reactions. (2/9)

🧵We close our celebration of the 2025 Nobel Prizes by spotlighting Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi, laureates of this year’s #NobelPrize in Chemistry for creating metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). (1/9)

✨ Their stories remind us that great science thrives where mentorship, curiosity, and collaboration come together. #NobelPrize #Physics #QuantumPhysics #ScientistSpotlight #ResearchCollaboration #TeamScience

Martinis recalls the deep impact of those early years: “It was such an interesting experience. Working with John and Michel was very impactful on me, and I’ve been trying to reproduce that experience the rest of my career.” (8/9)

👨‍🔬 ⚛️ John M. Martinis Born in 1958, Martinis earned both his https://t.co/6EBiHExUgk. and Ph.D. in Physics from UC Berkeley, where he worked with Clarke and Devoret. Now Professor Emeritus at UC Santa Barbara, he also led a team at Google Quantum AI. (7/9)

When he first got the news, Devoret didn’t believe it. He hopes to use this recognition to inspire others: “It will allow me to speak to young students and do my share in speaking for the interest of science.” (6/9)

👨‍🔬⚛️ Michel H. Devoret Born in Paris in 1953, Devoret earned his PhD at the University of Orsay. He joined Clarke’s lab as a postdoc researcher. Today, he is Professor of Physics at UC Santa Barbara, Professor Emeritus at Yale, and Chief Scientist at Google Quantum AI. (5/9)
