Nobel Prize in chemistry awarded to Kagan and Soai
Original: Nobel Prize in chemistry awarded to Kagan and Soai for untangling mirror images in molecules
The Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded to Kagan and Soai for their work untangling mirror images in molecules, the phenomenon known as chirality, in which molecules exist as left- and right-handed versions of one another. Their discoveries in molecular asymmetry have had wide-reaching consequences for chemistry and pharmaceutical science.
Why now: The announcement of a new Nobel Prize in chemistry is a major global science story.
