Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on molecular chirality, which involves separating mirror-image molecules to enhance drug effectiveness. Their discoveries enabled chemists to produce specific forms of molecules crucial for modern medicine, a feat previously thought achievable only by biological processes. The Nobel Committee highlighted that this breakthrough has…
