Science2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Awarded for Discoveries in Molecular Chirality
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to French chemist Henri B. Kagan and Japanese chemist Kenso Soai for their work on nonlinear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis. Their research focuses on chirality, where molecules with identical atoms and structure behave differently as mirror images, called enantiomers. This concept is crucial in biology and chemistry.
