Trio awarded 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for quantum tunneling work

8. Oktober 2025 Von KI berichtet

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis for their pioneering research on quantum tunneling in superconducting circuits. Their 1985 experiments demonstrated how quantum effects apply to complex systems, laying the foundation for modern quantum computers. Clarke expressed surprise at the recognition, noting the unexpected impact of their discovery.

Nobel prize in medicine awarded to trio for immune tolerance work

The 2025 Nobel prize in physiology or medicine has been awarded to Mary Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi for discovering a key immune cell that prevents the body from attacking itself. Their work revealed regulatory T-cells and the FOXP3 gene's role in controlling autoimmune responses. This breakthrough has opened new avenues for treating autoimmune diseases and cancers.

Nobel prize awarded for developing metal-organic frameworks

9. Oktober 2025 Von KI berichtet

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to three researchers for their pioneering work on metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs, structured polymers with precise geometries. Richard Robson, Susumu Kitagawa, and Omar Yaghi share the honor for creating materials that enable gas storage, filtration, and catalysis. Their innovations, starting around 1990, have opened new possibilities in chemistry and environmental applications.

Nobel prize in chemistry awarded for metal-organic frameworks

The 2025 Nobel prize in chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar Yaghi for pioneering metal-organic frameworks, porous materials capable of storing and releasing gases like carbon dioxide. These structures, which self-assemble from metal ions and organic molecules, have vast potential for applications such as capturing pollutants and harvesting water from air. The committee praised their work for creating materials that can hold enormous volumes of substances in tiny spaces.
