U-Chad Mirkin uthola indondo ye-IET Faraday "Yomnikelo wokuchaza inkathi ye-nanotechnology yesimanje"

I-Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) namuhla (ngo-Okthoba 20) iklomelise uSolwazi waseNorthwestern University Chad u-A. Mirkin ngeNdondo ye-Faraday ka-2022.
Indondo ye-Faraday ingeminye yemiklomelo ehlonishwa kakhulu yonjiniyela nososayensi, futhi iyindondo ephakeme kakhulu ye-IET enikezwa impumelelo evelele yesayensi noma yezimboni. Ngokwesitatimende esisemthethweni, uMirkin uhlonishwe “ngokusungula nokuthuthukisa amathuluzi amaningi, izindlela, nezinto zokwakha eziye zachaza inkathi yesimanje ye-nanotechnology.”
"Uma abantu bekhuluma ngabaholi abasezingeni lomhlaba ocwaningweni lwezinhlaka ezahlukene, u-Chad Mirkin uphuma phambili, futhi inqwaba yezinto azifezile zilolonge umkhakha," kusho uMilan Mrksic, iphini likamongameli wezocwaningo eNyuvesi yaseNorthwestern. "I-Chad iyisithonjana emkhakheni we-nanotechnology, futhi ngesizathu esihle. Intshiseko yakhe, ilukuluku kanye nethalente lizinikele ekubhekaneni nezinselele ezinkulu kanye nokuthuthukela emisha ephumelelayo. Izimpumelelo zakhe eziningi zesayensi nezamabhizinisi zidale uchungechunge lobuchwepheshe obusebenzayo, futhi uhola umphakathi ophilayo e-International Institute of Nanotechnology. Lo mklomelo wakamuva ohlonishwayo wobuholi bakhe eNyakatho neNyuvesi ehlonishwa kahle emkhakheni weNorthwestern University ehlonishwa kahle kakhulu eNyuvesi yaseNyakatho. i-nanotechnology.”
UMirkin waziwa kabanzi ngokusungulwa kwe-spherical nucleic acids (SNA) kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwezinhlelo zebhayoloji nezamakhemikhali zokuxilonga nezokwelashwa namasu okuhlanganiswa kwezinto ezisekelwe kuzo.
Ama-SNA angangena ngokwemvelo kumaseli omuntu nezicubu futhi anqobe izithiyo zebhayoloji izakhiwo ezivamile ezingakwazi, okuvumela ukutholwa kofuzo noma ukwelashwa kwezifo ngaphandle kokuthinta amaseli anempilo. Seziphenduke isisekelo semikhiqizo yokuhweba engaphezu kwe-1,800 esetshenziswa ekuxilongweni kwezokwelapha, ekwelapheni nasekucwaningweni kwesayensi yempilo.
UMirkin uphinde abe yingqalabutho emkhakheni wokutholwa kwezinto ezisuselwa ku-AI, okubandakanya ukusetshenziswa kwamasu aphezulu okuhlanganiswa okuhlanganiswe nokufunda ngomshini namasethi edatha angakaze abonwe, ekhwalithi ephezulu avela emitapweni yolwazi emikhulu yezigidi zama-nanoparticles afakwe endaweni. - Thola ngokushesha futhi uhlole izinto ezintsha ezizosetshenziswa ezimbonini ezifana nemithi, amandla ahlanzekile, i-catalysis, nokuningi.
UMirkin waziwa nangokusungula ipeni le-nanolithography, i-National Geographic eyiqambe njengenye ye-“100 Scientific Discoveries That Changed the World”, kanye ne-HARP (High Area Rapid Printing), inqubo yokuphrinta ye-3D engakhiqiza izingxenye eziqinile, ezinwebekayo, noma ze-ceramic. ngokuphuma kwerekhodi. Ungumsunguli wezinkampani eziningana, okuhlanganisa i-TERA-print, i-Azul 3D ne-Holden Pharma, ezibophezele ukuletha intuthuko ku-nanotechnology kwisayensi yezempilo, i-biomedicine kanye nezimboni ezithuthukisiwe zokukhiqiza.
“Kuyamangalisa,” kusho uMilkin. “Abantu abawina esikhathini esidlule bakha labo abashintsha umhlaba ngesayensi nobuchwepheshe. Uma ngibheka emuva kwabamukeli besikhathi esidlule, abavundulula i-electron, umuntu wokuqala owahlukanisa i-athomu, umsunguli wekhompyutha yokuqala, kuyindaba emangalisayo, udumo oluyisimangaliso, futhi ngokusobala ngijabula kakhulu ukuba yingxenye yayo.”
Indondo ye-Faraday iyingxenye yochungechunge lwe-IET Medal of Achievement futhi iqanjwe ngoMichael Faraday, uyise kazibuthe kagesi, umsunguli ovelele, usokhemisi, unjiniyela nososayensi. Ngisho nanamuhla, izimiso zakhe ze-electromagnetic conduction zisetshenziswa kakhulu emishinini kagesi nakumajeneretha.
Le ndondo, eyanikezwa okokuqala eminyakeni eyi-100 edlule ku-Oliver Heaviside, owaziwa ngethiyori yakhe yezintambo zikagesi, ingenye yezindondo ezindala kakhulu ezisaklonyeliswa. UMirkin owathola izindondo ezivelele okuhlanganisa uCharles Parsons (1923), umsunguli wenjini yesitimu yesimanje, uJ.
“Bonke abathole izindondo namuhla bangabasunguli abanomthelela emhlabeni esiphila kuwo,” kusho uMengameli we-IET uBob Cryan esitatimendeni. "Abafundi nochwepheshe bayamangalisa, bathole impumelelo enkulu emisebenzini yabo futhi bakhuthaza labo ababazungezile. Bonke kufanele baziqhenye ngempumelelo yabo - bayisibonelo esihle esizukulwaneni esilandelayo."
U-Mirkin, u-George B. Rathman onguSolwazi Wekhemistry e-Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, waba namandla abalulekile ekuveleni kweNyakatho-ntshonalanga njengomholi womhlaba ku-nanoscience kanye nomsunguli we-International Institute of Nanotechnology (IIN) yaseNyakatho-ntshonalanga. UMirkin uphinde abe nguSolwazi Wezokwelapha eNyuvesi yaseNorthwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine kanye noSolwazi weChemical and Biological Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering eMcCormick School of Engineering.
Ungomunye wabantu abambalwa abakhethwe emagatsheni amathathu e-National Academy of Sciences - i-National Academy of Sciences, i-National Academy of Engineering kanye ne-National Academy of Medicine. UMirkin uphinde abe yilungu le-American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Amagalelo ka-Mirkin ahlonishwe ngemiklomelo engaphezu kuka-240 kazwelonke neyamazwe ngamazwe. Ubeyilungu lokuqala lobuhlakani eNyuvesi yaseNorthwestern ukuthola iFaraday Medal and Prize.
