Chemists Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for finding a way to keep chirality-related, harmful mirror-image twins of molecules at bay, which is particularly important in drug manufacturing. #Nobelpreis #Chemie #Forschung (translated)
"Our reaction is of course not the final answer. The field should be advanced further and researched more intensively to better understand life." #Nobelpreis #Chemie #Chiralität (translated)
"the coolest experiment in organic chemistry" The Japanese chemist Kenso Soai then developed a method that chemist Peter Somfai called "the coolest experiment in organic chemistry" during the announcement by the Nobel Committee: #Nobelpreis #Chemie #Chiralität (translated)
Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discovering a fundamental concept of chirality in organic chemistry, which enables far-reaching applications in drug development and other chemical processes. #Nobelpreis #Chemie #Chiralität (translated)
"I won the Nobel": Karl Deisseroth wakes his daughters in their pajamas, then joy explodes. #NobelChimica #Chiralità #SintesiAsimmetrica (translated)
Here’s what can happen in just one second. The Nobel Laureate in Physics Halzen in Turin: "Here’s what can happen in just one second." #NobelChimica #Chiralità #SintesiAsimmetrica (translated)
In 2026, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai for their discoveries on nonlinear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis, which are fundamental for understanding the asymmetry of amino acids and the selective production of enantiomers in pharmacology. #NobelChimica #Chiralità #SintesiAsimmetrica (translated)
