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.

For Chennai’s women, extreme heat is more than a climate crisis.
It can mean lost wages, sleepless nights, water scarcity, worsening health and greater strain at home.
In a powerful ground report, @thenewsminute unpacks how climate stress is deepening existing inequalities and, for some, intensifying the #violence they face. The story also highlights insights from MSSRF from the field, alongside findings from @MSSRF's 2025 report on the Impact of #Heat on the Health of Women in India.

Please help him take the next step. 🙏
No contribution is too small. If you can help, please do, and if you cannot, please share this appeal. Together, we may be able to give Tuhin the chance he has fought so hard for.

After a devastating accident in 2022 and 35 surgeries, our student, Mr. Tuhin Subhra Koley, still has one hope—to stand and walk again. His upcoming surgeries could make that possible, but his family now needs ₹40 lakh to continue his treatment. Tuhin has been fighting for 4 Y.
