  1. Core Trigger: The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry honoured the development of metal-organic frameworks.
  2. Laureates: Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar Yaghi shared the prize equally for developing these materials.
  3. Key Term: Metal-organic frameworks are crystalline materials in which metal ions are linked by organic molecules.
  4. Properties: Their vast internal cavities can harvest water from desert air, capture carbon dioxide and store gases such as hydrogen.
  5. Applications: These pores make the materials relevant to water supply, carbon capture and clean-energy storage, which is why the work is called practical.
  6. Awarding Body: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences selects the Chemistry laureates.
  7. India Link: Carbon capture supports India's pledge of net-zero emissions by 2070.
  8. Venue: The Academy sits in Stockholm, Sweden, where the Chemistry prizes are presented on 10 December.
  9. Founded: Nobel Prizes arise from Alfred Nobel's 1895 will and were first awarded in 1901.
  10. Landmark: The Paris Agreement (2015) aims to hold warming well below 2 degrees Celsius, pursuing 1.5 degrees.
  11. Articles: Article 48A and Article 51A(g) govern environmental protection; the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 is the parent statute.
  12. Doctrine: Polluter pays: the polluter bears remediation costs, affirmed in Indian Council for Enviro-Legal Action v Union of India (1996).
