Ua hāʻawi aku ka Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) i kēia lā (ʻOkakopa 20) i ka Polopeka Chad ʻo A. Mirkin o ke Kulanui ʻo Northwestern me ka Medal Faraday 2022.
ʻO ka Faraday Medal kekahi o nā makana hanohano loa no nā ʻenekinia a me nā kānaka ʻepekema, a ʻo ia ka makana kiʻekiʻe loa a ka IET i hāʻawi ʻia i nā hoʻokō ʻepekema a ʻoihana paha. Wahi a ka ʻōlelo kūhelu, ua hoʻohanohano ʻia ʻo Mirkin no ka "hana ʻana a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā mea hana, nā ʻano hana, a me nā mea i wehewehe i ka wā hou o ka nanotechnology."
"Ke kamaʻilio ka poʻe e pili ana i nā alakaʻi papa honua i ka noiʻi interdisciplinary, ʻo Chad Mirkin ke poʻokela, a ua hoʻohālikelike kāna mau hoʻokō he nui ʻole i ke kahua," wahi a Milan Mrksic, hope pelekikena o ka noiʻi ma ke Kulanui ʻo Northwestern. "He ikona ʻo Chad ma ke kahua o ka nanotechnology, a no ke kumu maikaʻi. Ua hoʻolaʻa ʻia kona makemake, ka hoihoi a me ke talena i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā pilikia nui a me ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka hana hou kūpono. Ua hoʻokumu kāna mau hoʻokō ʻepekema a me ka ʻoihana he nui i nā ʻano ʻenehana kūpono, a ke alakaʻi nei ʻo ia i kahi kaiāulu olaola ma kā mākou International Institute of Nanotechnology. ʻO kēia makana hou loa he ʻike kūpono ia no kona alakaʻi ʻana ma ke Kulanui ʻo Northwestern a ma ke kahua o ka nanotechnology."
Ua ʻike nui ʻia ʻo Mirkin no ka hoʻokumu ʻana o nā waikawa nucleic spherical (SNA) a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā ʻōnaehana diagnostic a me therapeutic biological a me kemika a me nā hoʻolālā no ka synthesis o nā mea e pili ana iā lākou.
Hiki i nā SNA ke komo kūlohelohe i loko o nā pūnaewele a me nā ʻiʻo kanaka a lanakila i nā pale olaola ʻaʻole hiki i nā ʻano maʻamau, e ʻae ana i ka ʻike ʻana i nā maʻi a i ʻole ka mālama ʻana i nā maʻi me ka ʻole o ka hoʻopilikia ʻana i nā pūnaewele olakino. Ua lilo lākou i kumu no nā huahana kalepa he 1,800 a ʻoi i hoʻohana ʻia i nā diagnostics lapaʻau, therapy, a me ka noiʻi ʻepekema ola.
He paionia nō hoʻi ʻo Mirkin ma ke kahua o ka ʻike ʻana i nā mea e pili ana i ka AI, kahi e pili ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻenehana synthesis throughput kiʻekiʻe i hui pū ʻia me ke aʻo ʻana i ka mīkini a me nā ʻikepili nui loa, kiʻekiʻe loa mai nā hale waihona puke nui o nā miliona o nā nanoparticles i hoʻopili ʻia i ke kūlana. - E ʻike koke a loiloi i nā mea hou no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻoihana e like me nā lāʻau lapaʻau, ka ikehu maʻemaʻe, ka catalysis, a me nā mea hou aku.
Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Mirkin no ka hana ʻana i ka nanolithography peni, kahi i kapa ʻia e National Geographic ʻo ia kekahi o kā lākou "100 Scientific Discoveries That Changed the World", a me HARP (High Area Rapid Printing), kahi hana paʻi 3D e hiki ke hana i nā ʻāpana paʻa, elastic, a i ʻole ceramic. me ka throughput moʻolelo. ʻO ia ke kumu hoʻokumu o kekahi mau ʻoihana, me TERA-print, Azul 3D a me Holden Pharma, ka mea i hoʻohiki e lawe mai i nā holomua i ka nanotechnology i nā ʻepekema ola, biomedicine a me nā ʻoihana hana holomua.
"He mea kupaianaha," wahi a Milkin. "ʻO ka poʻe i lanakila i ka wā ma mua, ʻo lākou ka poʻe i hoʻololi i ke ao nei ma o ka ʻepekema a me ka ʻenehana. Ke nānā au i hope i ka poʻe i loaʻa i ka wā ma mua, nā mea i ʻike i ka electron, ke kanaka mua i hoʻokaʻawale i ka ʻātoma, ka mea nāna i hana i ke kamepiula mua, he moʻolelo kupaianaha ia, he hanohano kupaianaha, a hauʻoli loa wau i ka lilo ʻana i ʻāpana o ia mea."
ʻO ka Faraday Medal kekahi ʻāpana o ka moʻo IET Medal of Achievement a ua kapa ʻia ma hope o Michael Faraday, ka makuakāne o ka electromagnetism, he mea hana, he kemika, he ʻenekinia a he ʻepekema kaulana. A hiki i kēia lā, ua hoʻohana nui ʻia kāna mau loina o ka hoʻoili electromagnetic i nā mīkini uila a me nā mea hana mīkini.
ʻO kēia mekala, i hāʻawi mua ʻia i 100 mau makahiki i hala aku nei iā Oliver Heaviside, i ʻike ʻia no kāna kumumanaʻo o nā laina hoʻoili, ʻo ia kekahi o nā mekala kahiko loa i hāʻawi ʻia. ʻO Mirkin me nā laureates hanohano e like me Charles Parsons (1923), ka mea nāna i hana i ka turbine mahu hou, ʻo JJ Thomson, i hāʻawi ʻia no ka ʻike ʻana i ka electron i ka makahiki 1925, ʻo Ernes T. Rutherford, ka mea nāna i ʻike i ka nucleus atomic (1930), a me Maurice Wilks, ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo ia no ke kōkua ʻana i ka hoʻolālā a me ke kūkulu ʻana i ke kamepiula uila mua (1981).
"ʻO kā mākou poʻe lanakila mekala a pau i kēia lā, he poʻe hana hou lākou i hoʻopilikia i ke ao a mākou e noho nei," wahi a ka Pelekikena IET ʻo Bob Cryan ma kahi ʻōlelo. "He mea kupaianaha nā haumāna a me nā loea, ua hoʻokō lākou i ka holomua nui i kā lākou ʻoihana a hoʻoikaika i ka poʻe a puni lākou. Pono lākou a pau e haʻaheo i kā lākou mau hoʻokō - he mau kumu hoʻohālike kupaianaha lākou no ka hanauna e hiki mai ana."
ʻO Mirkin, ke Polopeka Kemika ʻo George B. Rathman ma ke Kulanui ʻo Weinberg no nā ʻOihana a me nā ʻEpekema, he mana koʻikoʻi ia i ka puka ʻana mai o Northwest ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi honua i ka nanoscience a he mea hoʻokumu o ka International Institute of Nanotechnology (IIN) o ka Northwest. He Polopeka Lapaʻau nō hoʻi ʻo Mirkin ma ke Kula Lapaʻau ʻo Feinberg ma ke Kulanui ʻo Northwestern a he Polopeka o ke ʻenekinia Kemika a me Biological, ʻenekinia Biomedical, ʻepekema Mea a me ke ʻenekinia ma ke Kula ʻenekinia ʻo McCormick.
ʻO ia kekahi o nā kānaka kakaikahi i koho ʻia i nā lālā ʻekolu o ka National Academy of Sciences - ka National Academy of Sciences, ka National Academy of Engineering a me ka National Academy of Medicine. He lālā nō hoʻi ʻo Mirkin no ka American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Ua ʻike ʻia nā haʻawina a Mirkin me nā makana aupuni a me ka honua he 240. ʻO ia ke kumu mua ma ke Kulanui ʻo Northwestern i loaʻa ka Faraday Medal a me ka makana.
