  "body_markdown": "As of October 8, winners in four of the six categories of the 2026 Nobel Prize have been announced. Below are their names and briefly about the works noted by the committees.\n\n## Physiology and Medicine\n\nThe prize went to **Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel** — for discoveries related to photosensitive ion channels and optogenetics.\n\nOptogenetics allows you to control the activity of individual nerve cells using light and explore the brain, including the mechanisms of memory, feelings and behavior.\n\n## Physics\n\nThe winner is **Francis Halzen**. He was noted for his decisive contribution to the creation of the IceCube neutrino observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin.\n\nLocated in the ice of Antarctica, the observatory records rare neutrino interactions, allowing the study of processes outside the solar system.\n\n## Chemistry\n\nThe prize was shared **by Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai** for the discovery of nonlinear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis. Their work helps to understand how a reaction can favor one of two mirror forms of a molecule; similar selectivity is important for the chemistry of living organisms.\n\n## Literature\n\nThe winner is Canadian writer **Anne Carson**. The Committee noted her bold and inventive creativity, which, in dialogue with the classical tradition, creates new forms of modern literature.\n\n## What listings are still pending\n\nThe Nobel Peace Prize is planned to be announced on October 9, and the Prize in Economic Sciences — on October 12. Until these announcements, the list of 2026 laureates remains incomplete.\n\n## Sources\n\n1. [All 2026 Laureates — NobelPrize.org](https://www.nobelprize.org/all-nobel-prizes-2026)\n2.
