Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2026 to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai

https://www.nobelprize.org/images/174599-large-2x.jpg
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2026 to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai for discovering a solution to the mystery of homochirality, which is how living organisms can have only one mirror image of molecules despite two variants existing naturally. Their discoveries have enabled chemists to drive chemical reactions that lead to homochirality, crucial ...
