The 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai for their work on non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis. Their research helps explain how one mirror-image form of a molecule can become dominant, a phenomenon known as homochirality.
Their discoveries have also given chemists greater control over chemical reactions that produce specific mirror-image molecules. This is especially important in medicine because different mirror-image forms of the same molecule can have very different effects, including in pharmaceuticals.
