The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai for solving a century-old mystery: how life selectively produces one mirror-image form of molecules, a property called chirality. Their work on asymmetric catalysis enables the production of desired molecular forms, crucial for drug development. The Nobel Committee praised their spectacular chemical reactions.
