Нобеле́вскую пре́мию по хи́мии получи́ли учёные, изуча́вшие «зе́ркальные» моле́кулы
French chemist Henri Kagan and Japanese scientist Kenso Soai received the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discoveries in asymmetric organic synthesis. Their work helps explain how chemists can produce one form of a molecule more often than its mirror image.

Озо́новая ды́ра над Антаркти́дой ста́ла о́чень большо́й
The Antarctic ozone hole reached 27.4 million square kilometres on September 20, 2026, the second-largest size recorded for this time of year. Scientists say yearly changes in its size are not, by themselves, a reason for alarm.

Учёные нашли́ почти́ ты́сячу ви́дов Т-кле́ток
A study by Russian and German researchers tested a way to find rare T-cell groups that respond to parts of viruses and fungi. The early results may help scientists study the immune system, but do not yet show that the method can treat disease.

Anthropic: ИИ Claude обнару́жил но́вую ферме́нтную систе́му
Anthropic says that Claude helped identify ART, a previously uncharacterized enzyme system in bacteriophage DNA. The system has CRISPR-like repeated sequences, but its biological function still requires independent study.

Учёные из «Си́риуса» получи́ли магни́тную жи́дкость для ме́дицины
A research team led by Sirius University has made a stable magnetic fluid from water and cobalt-iron oxide nanoparticles. It could support future work on targeted tumour heating and laboratory diagnostic tools, but it has not been tested in people.
