French and Japanese scientists win Nobel Chemistry
The French scientist Henri B. Cagan and the Japanese Kensyu Sway have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2026 for their contributions to understanding chemical reactions and activation mechanisms in asymmetric organic synthesis. Their research focused on the phenomenon of self-activation and nonlinear effects in reactions, which aids in controlling the formation of molecules with symmetrical structures and improving pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing processes. These studies are significant for drug development and increasing their efficiency. This award is the third Nobel Prize announced this week.
