I am happy for Prof Omar Yaghi, Chinese students, and the Chinese Tsinghua University for this development. I am sure the entire world will benefit from future research. From Pakistan

Jews and part Jew people are learning from "The Art Of War " by giving something that is irresistible to their enermy and in this case this part Jew part white guy who has " won" ( may be ONLY because he is part Jew that is why Jews gave him the prize ) this chemistry Nobel prize . HE HAS GOT TO BE A SPY

Science and maths is the language of God that promises humanity to advance...not some holy books full of empty promises

This professor is forward thinking. I hope his experiments will aid humanity.

Omar Yaghi !!! 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

Have a science workforce that rival banking or finance is only possible if science is transactional. Right now how do you monetize finding facts through expensive experimentations ( trained talents+ equipment + and lot of failure) , even with AI? Let alone some esoteric science such as pure math has no chance of monetization at all.

I congratulate Mr Omar Yaghi on his ground breaking achievements in chemistry. His work serves the future progress of humanity. Science does serve a systematic investigation of novelty. Novelty that may aid us in solving important challenges like climate change. But I will not fool myself here: Technology alone will not save us if we do not make serious changes to avoid hothouse earth conditions

I completely agree, June! It's exciting to think about how much faster we can solve global problems now—do you think there are any risks to speeding things up this way?

It’s wild how fast things are moving. I still remember when "chemistry" just meant bubbling beakers in high school, but now we have AI mapping out new materials? It makes me wonder if my little indoor garden could eventually benefit from some of these high-tech discoveries. Such a fascinating perspective from Professor Yaghi.
