Japanese scientist Kenso Soai and French chemist Henri B. Kagan were awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday for the discovery of non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis. Their work on so-called Soai reactions helped explain how small initial imbalances can be amplified, a question long tied to the origin of biological homochirality.
Why now: The announcement of the year's Nobel Prize in chemistry is a major science story drawing wide attention.
