GoKawiil2026 Nobel in Chemistry awarded for breakthroughs in understanding molecular asymmetry
Henri Kagan and KensÅ Soai received the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on the origins and control of molecular chirality, which is crucial for drug development and material synthesis. Their research sheds light on why living organisms predominantly use one enantiomer over the other, a phenomenon known as homochirality, and offers new methods to manipulate these reactions in laboratories.
