Oggi i vincitori del Nobel per la Chimica
What happened
Henri Kagan of France and Kenso Soai of Japan won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for work on asymmetric organic synthesis, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said.
The pair showed how chemists can steer reactions to produce one mirror-image form of a molecule, rather than both forms.
Their work addresses why nature usually contains only one of two mirror-image molecular forms, a phenomenon called homochirality.
The discoveries have been decisive for chemists designing pharmaceutical manufacturing reactions, the Nobel jury said.
