Original: henri kagan

French chemist Henri Kagan is trending internationally as the Nobel Prize in Chemistry is awarded for work on mirror-image molecules. Kagan, an emeritus professor at Paris-Sud University, is regarded as a foundational figure in asymmetric catalysis, the field that makes single mirror-image forms of molecules used widely in pharmaceuticals. Searches are spiking in France, Germany and Sweden as coverage revisits the science of chirality and its history.

Why now: The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for work on mirror-image molecules has renewed attention on Kagan's pioneering contributions to the field.
