ScienceKagan and Soai Win 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
Henri B Kagan and Kenso Soai received the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for explaining how chemical reactions can favor one mirror-image form of a molecule over another. Their work on non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric synthesis revealed how molecules, called enantiomers, can behave differently despite being mirror images. This discovery is crucial for understanding molecular behavior in the human body.
