The “Smart Life” program on November 26, 2025 highlighted two breakthroughs: Nobel Prize-winning Palestinian-Jordanian chemist Omar Yaghi’s scientific achievement and Mercedes-Benz’s latest futuristic sports car. Yaghi pioneered “Reticular Chemistry,” a method that designs materials on paper before constructing them molecularly through calculated bonds, replacing traditional random mixing. This innovation produced a family of materials known as “metal-organic frameworks,” ultra-precise three-dimensional porous networks described as “programmable nanosponges.” Mercedes-Benz also unveiled its “Concept MGGTXX” sports car, featuring futuristic design and advanced electric engines. The car is powered by three electric motors delivering a combined 1340 horsepower, with a top speed of 360 km/h. The German company developed a new high-voltage battery with direct cell cooling, which charges in the same time it takes to refuel a conventional car. Inside, the car offers unconventional features: 3D-printed seat cushions tailored to the driver’s body data and dual glass-connected screens.
