We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Professor Kenso Soai on being awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Professor Soai graduated from the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, The University of Tokyo, in 1974, and subsequently pursued his doctoral studies in the Graduate School of Science. Following the completion of his doctorate, he continued his research in the United States before joining Tokyo University of Science, where he established a distinguished career in synthetic organic chemistry. Among his most celebrated achievements is the discovery of the asymmetric autocatalytic reaction now universally known as the \u201cSoai reaction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many organic molecules in nature exist in two mirror-image forms, much like our right and left hands. These two forms are known as enantiomers. Through the Soai reaction, Professor Soai demonstrated that even an exceedingly small initial imbalance between the two enantiomers can act as a \u201cseed\u201d and be dramatically amplified through asymmetric autocatalysis, leading predominantly to one of the two mirror-image forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This remarkable discovery has provided important insight into one of the most fundamental questions in chemistry and the life sciences: why organic molecules associated with life on Earth predominantly occur as only one of two possible mirror-image forms\u2014the question of the origin of biological homochirality. Over many years of research, Professor Soai and his colleagues have examined an extraordinary variety of chiral substances as sources of asymmetry, demonstrating that this phenomenon is remarkably general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We offer my warmest congratulations to Professor Soai on this distinguished honor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
