“My parents could barely read or write. It’s been quite a journey, science allows you to do it.”
New laureate Omar Yaghi was in the middle of changing flights when we reached him, just after he heard that he had been awarded the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry.
In this interview we speak about his early life as a refugee in Jordan and the overwhelming draw of the beauty of chemistry: “I set out to build beautiful things and solve intellectual problems.”
Listen now:
Omar Yaghi ((Visiting Miller Professor 2009) was awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with Susumu Kitagawa and Richard Robson! They were awarded "for the development of metal–organic frameworks." https://t.co/vGJUlp8mxa

"I believe in the power of chemistry, technology, and human innovation. This makes me optimistic that we can overcome the challenge of climate change and light the way to a brighter future." – Professor Omar Yaghi
See how he describes his research developing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), their utility to combat climate change, and the work of the new Bakar Institute of Digital Materials for the Planet.

Using time-lapse imaging we observed spheres of lipid breaking free from the bilayer concurrent with a burst of actin polymerization. To observe these structures up close, we turned to CLEM and our partners at @eml_ucb.
