Science2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded for autocatalysis discovery
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai for discovering non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis. Their work helps explain how chemical asymmetry can arise spontaneously and gives chemists greater control over reactions that produce mirror-image molecules.
