Nagroda Nobla w dziedzinie chemii: Instrumenty Microtrac wykorzystywane przez naukowców
Jak technologia Microtrac wspiera najnowocześniejsze badania naukowe na całym świecie
A remarkable moment for chemistry - and for the entire Microtrac team: research supported by our BEL instruments has been recognized with the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
The prize honors Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar Yaghi for their groundbreaking work on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)—materials that have reshaped modern materials chemistry and opened new pathways in energy, environmental, and industrial applications.
Precision trusted by Nobel laureates
Among the tools used by the laureates are BEL instruments, renowned for high precision and reliability in adsorption and catalysis analyses. They deliver exact data on surface area and porosity—decisive parameters in MOF research and in the development of new materials.
BEL instruments enable:
- Adsorption and catalysis analyses
- Precise surface and porosity measurements
- Reliable data for materials research worldwide
Global expertise—united by science
This recognition reflects the international strength of the Microtrac Group, which brings together expertise and innovation around the world. Several of our scientists—including Dr. Serkan Gökpinar, Dr. Ronja Christoffels, Dr. Mahsa Armaghan, and Dr. Garrett Taggart—earned their PhDs in the field of MOFs. It underlines how closely our technology and know-how are linked to leading developments in materials science worldwide.
A message of thanks
In his message to the laureates, Dr. Kazuyuki Nakai, President of Microtrac BEL, said:
"Your pioneering work on metal-organic frameworks has opened new frontiers in materials science and chemistry, offering transformative solutions to global challenges in energy, environment, and sustainability."
His words capture what drives us: supporting researchers who are building a more sustainable future.
Looking ahead
Together - and with combined forces - we will continue our mission: driving innovations that benefit science, industry, and society alike.
