Nobel in Chemistry for Mirror Molecules
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2026 was awarded to Henri B. Kagan and Kensō Soai for their discoveries related to mirror-image molecules and asymmetric organic synthesis. Their work on autocatalysis and nonlinear effects has advanced understanding of molecular chirality, which influences how medicines interact with the body. Their research explains how certain molecules become predominantly one mirror image form, with implications for drug development and the origins of biological homochirality.
