Just reviewed a biography of Arrhenius. He himself was prolific populariser of science, and in an age where many argue that we should “listen to science” should we not pay more attention to actually explaining the science than is done here? www.linkedin.com/posts/larsoh...

Nobel Laureate Prof Omar Yaghi’s legacy strengthens UJ’s global scientific partnerships - University of Johannesburg News The announcement of Professor Omar Yaghi of the University of California, Berkeley, as a 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry laureate has resonated strongly with the University of Johannesburg (UJ), followi...

As we celebrate the MOF Nobel I want to highlight Omar Yaghi's words 8th Oct.: “Smart people, talented people, skilled people exist everywhere. That’s why we really should focus on unleashing their potential through providing them with opportunity.” And he takes action! news.uj.ac.za/news/nobel-l...

Had the fantastic opportunity to demonstrate MOF synthesis for the Swedish news program Aktuellt on SVT!

Abstract submissions soon due for the first MOF symposium arranged at a Materials Research Society meeting, April 26 - May 2, 2026
Honolulu, Hawaii.

Les MOF, des legos moléculaires qui valent le prix Nobel de Chimie 2025 Le prix Nobel de chimie 2025 récompense Richard Robson, Susumu Kitagawa et Omar Yaghi pour avoir inventé les réseaux métallo-organiques, une nouvelle manière d’assembler la matière comme un jeu de con...

“Les MOF, des legos moléculaires qui valent le prix Nobel de Chimie 2025”… j'ai essayé d'expliquer les MOFs sur @franceculture.fr, merci @alexandradelbot.bsky.social ! www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...

Thanks Stefano! I have been here some time actually, just been lazy...

That was long and hard work... And @larsohrstrom.bsky.social is now also on bsky!

Mechano‐Bactericidal Surfaces Achieved by Epitaxial Growth of Metal–Organic Frameworks

On metal-organic framework isomers, and the SF6 sorption and fluorescence of an In and a Zr MOF with a tritopic linker http://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2025/CC/D5CC02180D

I think this is a publisher and editor problem maybe more than an author question.

Thanks Andy, no worries. But it's a question that needs more attention and discussion. I'm currently reviewing a 600 page biography of a well known scientist, and there is very little science in it, and few explanations. An equation well known to all chemistry students is dismissed in one paragraph!

It's a hard balance to reach ehe? But one important point is that the book should be useful for a non-chemist, but still interesting enough for a chemist. Now the scary name I don't even remember 😀

Internationella kemiunionen IUPAC arbeta också med jämlikhetsfrågor. Alla behövs i arbetet med att fixa de stora problem som mänskligheten står inför och där kemi är en viktigt bit av lösningen. Vi har inte råd att förlora några talanger.
