Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs)
Omar Yaghi’s Chemistry of Possibility
Ten years ago, in 2015, Professor Omar Yaghi received the Mustafa(pbuh) Prize for his pioneering work in developing Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs), a new class of materials with vast potential for energy, environment, and health applications. A decade later, in 2025, the world celebrates him again—this time as a Nobel Laureate in Chemistry. In this exclusive interview with the Mustafa(pbuh) Science and Technology Foundation (MSTF), Professor Yaghi reflects on his journey of discovery, his philosophy of science, and his advice to the next generation of scientists.
