Who won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their breakthrough in creating single molecular mirror images?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Henri Kagan of France and Kenso Soai of Japan were awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their breakthrough in developing methods that enable chemical reactions to favour a single molecular mirror image. Their work addresses homochirality, a phenomenon involving molecules that exist in two mirror-image forms. This achievement has important applications in medicine because different molecular forms can produce different biological effects. Producing drugs containing only the desired therapeutic variant can improve treatment effectiveness and reduce the risk of harmful side effects. The Nobel Prize includes an award of 12 million Swedish kronor, with the ceremony scheduled for December 10, 2026, in Stockholm, Sweden.
