Last weekend, our group participatedi the 9th Environmental Conference of Macedonia, contributing two oral presentations and seven poster presentations. Congratulations to @PapatasouP for delivering an excellent presentation, and to Elena and Marianna for their award.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi have been awarded the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry for the development of a new type of molecular architecture.

In 1989, chemistry laureate Richard Robson tested utilising the inherent properties of atoms in a new way. He combined positively charged copper ions with a four-armed molecule; this had a chemical group that was attracted to copper ions at the end of each arm.

When they were combined, they bonded to form a well-ordered, spacious crystal. It was like a diamond filled with innumerable cavities.
