The day after last year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry was announced, Richard Robson stood before his students at the University of Melbourne, teaching as he always did.
He shared the 2025 chemistry prize together with Susumu Kitagawa and Omar Yaghi for the development of metal–organic frameworks.
This year's chemistry prize will be announced on 7 October 2026. There's only days to go.
