The three scientists were recognised for their pioneering development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). MOFs are innovative materials with an extraordinary capacity to absorb and contain gases, likened to Hermione Granger's enchanted handbag in the Harry Potter series for their vast internal surface area. These frameworks hold significant potential for capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide and extracting water from arid desert air. They could also be instrumental in separating 'forever chemicals' (PFAS) from water.In fullChemistry Nobel winners’ work likened to magic handbag from Harry PotterThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
