The #NobelPrize in Chemistry 2026 recognises discoveries that have enabled chemists to drive chemical reactions that lead to homochirality.
Life’s chemistry is what chemists call homochiral, after the Greek words for “same” and “hand”. Like hands, all amino acids exist as two mirrored variants, but only one of them is found in the proteins in your cells. The other is rarely found in nature.
For a long time, chemists wondered how homochirality can emerge. When they began to experiment with chemical reactions that can form two mirrored molecules, they always obtained equal proportions of both in their test tubes. However, chemists strived to produce only one of these mirror images, because in the development of molecules that will interact with living beings – such as in pharmaceuticals – only one mirror image will have the desired effect.
Thanks to laureates Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai, we now know how homochirality can emerge. Their discoveries have been decisive for chemists who design reactions for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals.
Your hands are mirror images — no rotation makes them overlap. That impossibility won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Kagan and Soai found how reactions amplify one "hand": autocatalysis. #NobelPrize #AsymmetricSynthesis #Homochirality https://t.co/XXaksFugY3

I'm observing #homochirality in my Complementarity Model; it's associated to spontaneous symmetry breaking (#SSB) at the edge of a deterministic #synchronization #phasetransition. I could isolate a circular pattern where chirality is more evident....

In the latest issue of ACS Nano: Researchers from @BIT1940 show that the selective formation of #homochirality #dimers on an hBN/Rh(111) nanomesh is dependent on the intermolecular #chargetransfer interactions.

The legendary Kenso Soai shares his perspective on the shared characteristic features of life and those of asymmetric autocatalysis: self-replication and homochirality, by way of the Soai reaction
