Нобелевская премия по химии за 2026 год присуждена Генри Б. Кэгану и Кенсо Суи за открытие нелинейных эффектов и автокатализа в асимметричном органическом синтезе.
Оценка
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry recognizes Henry B. Kagan and Kenso Soai for their work on nonlinear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis. This is a foundational discovery in how chirality can be amplified and propagated in chemical reactions. The practical stakes are high: asymmetric synthesis is central to producing pharmaceuticals and advanced materials. Watch for how this recognition influences funding and research directions in synthetic chemistry, particularly in drug development.
