What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai for their discoveries regarding non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis. Their work helped demonstrate how chemical reactions can be steered toward a single molecular form. Separately, Karl Deisseroth was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for pioneering work on optogenetics, a method used to control nerve cells with light.
