Hmmm. This years' nobel prizes are a bit more boring compared to prior ones. I understand that not all ideas or inventions are created equal, but I prefer more raw epicness.
It’s a prize given to scientists to highlight and encourage valuable research according to a jury of pairs.
This MoF thing is quite damn cool though, advancing moisture capturing in arid regions itself is big.
But also being able to separate chemicals in a more controlled manner sounds like something really groundbreaking that will probably impact chemistry for a long time to come.

If water capture in arid environments actually scales with this method, then that's far more directly exposed to people.
That being said, you get stuff like high Tc superconductors that are awarded the following year: https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/1987/press-release...
