The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai. Kagan is known for work on molecular chirality and asymmetric catalysis, and Soai for the Soai reaction demonstrating spontaneous asymmetric autocatalysis. The announcement has drawn attention for honoring two chemists whose careers span decades of stereochemistry research.
