Kagan and Soai won the Nobel Chemistry prize for controlling molecular mirror‑image formation.
Their research resolves the long‑standing question of homochirality in biology.
It enables safer and more efficient manufacturing of medicines.
The Nobel ceremony will occur in Stockholm, Sweden, on December 10, 2026.
Their discovery shows how to steer chemical reactions so that only one hand‑like form of a molecule is produced, addressing the mystery of homochirality.
The technique is crucial for producing pharmaceutical drugs with fewer unwanted side effects.
The award will be presented by the King of Sweden in Stockholm on December 10.
