2026 Chemistry Nobel Prize – level 1
15-10-2026 07:00
Two scientists win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. They solve a secret about molecules.
Molecules are very small parts of life. Many molecules have two forms, like a left hand and a right hand. Nature only uses one form to make living things grow. This discovery helps doctors and scientists make safer medicine. Sometimes, one form of a drug can help a sick person, but the other form can be dangerous or bad.
Now, scientists know how to make only the good and safe form of a drug. This discovery saves many lives and helps people stay healthy every day.
Difficult words: secret (something what most people do not know about), discovery (finding or learning about something new for the first time), dangerous (not safe).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
Why is it important to make only the good and safe form of a drug when many molecules have a left-hand and a right-hand form and nature uses only one form for living things?
