ノーベル化学賞受賞を受け神楽坂キャンパスにて喜びの会見🎤
23:40頃 会見を終え下に降りてこられ、現役学生達も終電逃した等話ながら 本当に嬉しそうに見送っていました。
歴史的な瞬間に立ち会えて感動です、
心よりこの度の受賞おめでとうございます��

Overjoyed to learn that Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai have been awarded the #NobelPrize in Chemistry! Kagan’s nonlinear effects and Soai’s asymmetric autocatalysis revolutionized our understanding of chirality and molecular self-organization.

Kenso Soai – awarded the 2026 #NobelPrize in Chemistry – designed the first chemical reaction in which only one of the potential mirror images was formed. Other than life itself, no one had ever achieved this feat. The Soai reaction is one of the most spectacular chemical experiments ever conducted.

BREAKING: The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai “for the discovery of non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis.”

More to follow.

“This is probably the coolest experiment in organic chemistry,” said Peter Somfai, a member of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry, speaking at today's announcement

What does a Nobel-worthy reaction look like in motion? Watch “Soai’s Asymmetric Autocatalytic Dance”, a playful take on how a tiny chiral imbalance amplifies itself into near-perfect homochirality. #NobelPrize #Chirality

Congrats to prof. Soai, this years Nobel Prize laureate and also speaker of IOCB Invited Talks series. We are very proud to have now 17 Nobel Prize winners among them. We are even more proud that some of them got their Nobel Prize AFTER being invited to IOCB…

“Our prime minister wants to call me…”

2026 chemistry laureate Kenso Soai needed to cut short our interview when he learnt that the Japanese prime minister was trying to reach him. Before then, the new laureate spoke to us about his excitement on being awarded the #NobelPrize.

Soai also explained how it feels to have researchers all over the world studying his famous Soai reaction – one of the most spectacular chemical experiments ever conducted.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Kenso Soai, awarded the 2026 #NobelPrize in Chemistry, was born in 1950 in Hiroshima, Japan.

He earned his PhD in 1979 from the University of Tokyo, Japan. He is professor emeritus at Tokyo University of Science, @TUS_PR, Japan.
