2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry honours autocatalysis research
Original: nobel prize 2026
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded for work on autocatalysis and non-linear effects, chemical processes in which reactions catalyse their own production. Chemistry World has published an explainer outlining what these mechanisms are and why the committee chose to recognise them, prompting wide public interest in the science behind the award.
Why now: The annual Nobel Prize announcements always draw heavy global attention, and this year's chemistry award has spotlighted a lesser-known area of research.
