Nobel Prize Awards Gas-Trapping Molecular Breakthroughs
Reading
Three scientists won a big prize. This prize is for their work in chemistry. They made new things that can hold a lot of gas.
These new things are like a magic bag. The bag looks small but can hold much. They are called metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs.
The prize is for important discoveries. These discoveries can help with big problems. They can help with pollution and not enough water.
The scientists are Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi. They are from Japan, Australia, and the United States. They worked on this for many years to make these MOFs.
These structures have holes for gas or liquid. The holes can be made for certain molecules. This can help store toxic gases or get water from the air.
