The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was officially announced on October 8th, awarded to scientists Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson, and Omar M. Yaghi for their contributions to the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).

ZEISS has maintained a long-term and close collaboration with Kyoto University and Professor Susumu Kitagawa's team. In 2019, the ZEISS Microscopy Business Unit and Kyoto University's Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) jointly established the "ZEISS-iCeMS Innovation Core" center. Since its inception, Professor Kitagawa and his research team have continuously conducted cutting-edge exploration at this center, where ZEISS's advanced microscopy equipment has provided strong support for their research and development of metal-organic framework materials.

Since its founding in 1846, ZEISS has always taken pride in its ability to support global scientific research. To date, over 30 Nobel Laureates have utilized ZEISS microscopy technology in their explorations in physics, chemistry, physiology, or medicine. We are deeply honored to contribute in this way to the advancement of human science.
