Henri Kagan, Kenso Soai win Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2026
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has announced the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, awarding it to Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai for their discovery of non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis. Kagan, a professor at Université Paris-Sud in Orsay, France, and Soai, a 95-year-old scientist from Tokyo University of Science, made this groundbreaking discovery.
Their work has significantly impacted the field of chemistry, enabling new molecular structures capable of trapping substantial amounts of gas and potentially assisting in capturing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
