What the coverage shows

NPR is the only outlet here clearly matching the chemistry prize, naming Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai and the work on non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis. By contrast, the Associated Press and ABC News extracts are about a different Nobel Prize, focusing on Karl Deisseroth and optogenetics, so their coverage diverges sharply from NPR’s framing.
