Professor Kim Jelfs, @imperialchemistry.bsky.social, said that their work “sparked a whole field,” and that “there’s an enormous number of people that work in this area now” Read her comments in the New York Times ⬇️ bit.ly/3KKJ0Od #OurImperial

“The work of the prize winners laid the foundation for a vibrant international field of research in novel metal-organic frameworks, and more than 100,000 MOF structures have been reported to date.

“The applications of MOFs all stem from their porosity – one gram of a MOF material can have the same surface area inside its pores as a football pitch.

“The field of MOFs all began with the research by Robson in the early 1990s who designed coordination polymers that could be engineered to have pores.”

FoNS academics working in this area reacted: Dr Becky Greenaway, @imperialchemistry.bsky.social, said that lots of chemists had been wondering when metal-organic frameworks would get the Nobel Prize... "and it’s finally happened!" Read @beckylgreenaway.bsky.social in the Guardian ⬇️ bit.ly/4o5ucYR

“Lots of chemists have been wondering when metal-organic frameworks would get the Nobel Prize, and it’s finally happened!”

“Their discovery has enabled a whole range of applications, from gas storage and separations to drug delivery, and also opened-up other areas, including porous liquids – liquids with holes in - which are showing promise in carbon capture and catalysis.

“They are already seeing commercial use, for example, for carbon capture from flue gas, keeping fruit fresh, and for storing reactive gases for the semi-conductor industry. They also have potential for water harvesting - for example they are being trialled in the desert for collecting clean water from the air. You can only imagine that their use in real-world applications would continue to expand in the future.”

Dr Niladri Banerjee, in the Department of Physics at Imperial College London, said: "This year’s Nobel Prize highlights the link between the microscopic world and electrical circuits."

"This year’s Nobel Prize highlights the link between the microscopic world and electrical circuits.

"These discoveries underpin how superconducting qubits are now driving the global race toward scalable quantum computers, and at Imperial we’re building on this legacy by developing new superconducting materials and circuits for these applications.

Professor Lesley Cohen, in the Department of Physics said "Their work has laid the foundations for superconducting Qubits - one of the main hardware technologies for quantum technologies." Read her comments on the BBC: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“This is wonderful news indeed, and very well deserved. The work that these three outstanding scientists first demonstrated relates to the power of quantum mechanic tunnelling, and its manifestation in superconductivity where macroscopic quantum effects could be manifest and manipulated.

“Their work has laid the foundations for superconducting Qubits - one of the main hardware technologies for quantum technologies.”

Dr Malcolm Connolly's lab at Imperial is using these discoveries, and the decades of research they set in motion, to unlock quantum-enhanced AI and to gain deeper insights into advanced electronic materials

This year’s Nobel Prize recognises the pioneers who first showed us that even an electrical circuit can behave as a genuine quantum system.

“Their discoveries of tunnelling and energy quantisation laid the foundation for today’s superconducting qubits, one of the leading platforms in the global race to build practical quantum computers.

“The field is now pushing these fragile effects into ever more complex circuits, aiming for scalable and fault-tolerant machines. At Imperial we are extending these ideas with new superconducting and hybrid devices to realise quantum-enhanced AI, and to probe entanglement and coherence in next-generation quantum materials.”
