The 2026 Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai for groundbreaking work in the field of asymmetric chemistry – unraveling the mystery of how molecules exist in non-identical mirror images of each other.
The chemistry prize was announced Wednesday at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm.
Their work has “been revolutionary for chemists who develop reactions for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, flavors, scents and new materials,” the Nobel committee said in a statement.

2026 年诺贝尔化学奖授予亨利·B·卡根和曾井健三，以表彰他们在不对称化学领域的开创性工作——揭开了分子如何以彼此不完全相同的镜像形式存在的奥秘。
化学奖于周三在斯德哥尔摩的瑞典皇家科学院宣布。
诺贝尔委员会在一份声明中表示，他们的工作“对于开发用于制造药品、香料、香精和新材料的反应的化学家来说具有革命性意义”。
