Lub Koom Haum Engineering thiab Technology (IET) hnub no (Lub Kaum Hli 20) tau muab Northwestern University Chad Professor A. Mirkin nrog 2022 Faraday Medal.
Lub Faraday Medal yog ib qho ntawm cov khoom plig muaj koob muaj npe tshaj plaws rau cov engineers thiab cov kws tshawb fawb, thiab yog IET qhov khoom plig siab tshaj plaws uas tau muab rau cov kev ua tiav zoo tshaj plaws hauv kev tshawb fawb lossis kev lag luam. Raws li cov lus tshaj tawm raug cai, Mirkin tau txais txiaj ntsig rau "kev tsim thiab tsim ntau yam cuab yeej, cov txheej txheem, thiab cov ntaub ntawv uas tau txhais lub caij nyoog niaj hnub ntawm nanotechnology."
"Thaum tib neeg tham txog cov thawj coj thoob ntiaj teb hauv kev tshawb fawb txog ntau yam kev kawm, Chad Mirkin yog tus thawj coj zoo tshaj plaws, thiab nws cov kev ua tiav ntau yam tau tsim lub ntiaj teb no," Milan Mrksic, tus lwm thawj coj ntawm kev tshawb fawb ntawm Northwestern University hais. "Chad yog ib lub cim hauv kev tshawb fawb txog nanotechnology, thiab rau qhov laj thawj zoo. Nws txoj kev mob siab, kev xav paub thiab kev txawj ntse tau mob siab rau kev daws cov teeb meem loj heev thiab kev txhim kho kev tsim kho tshiab. Nws cov kev ua tiav ntau yam hauv kev tshawb fawb thiab kev lag luam tau tsim ntau yam thev naus laus zis, thiab nws ua tus thawj coj hauv zej zog ntawm peb lub koom haum International Institute of Nanotechnology. Qhov khoom plig tshiab no yog qhov tsim nyog tau txais kev lees paub txog nws txoj kev coj noj coj ua ntawm Northwestern University thiab hauv kev tshawb fawb txog nanotechnology."
Mirkin tau lees paub dav rau kev tsim cov spherical nucleic acids (SNA) thiab kev tsim cov txheej txheem kuaj mob thiab kho mob thiab cov tswv yim rau kev tsim cov ntaub ntawv raws li lawv.
SNAs muaj peev xwm nkag mus rau hauv tib neeg lub hlwb thiab cov nqaij thiab kov yeej cov teeb meem ntawm lub cev uas cov qauv ib txwm ua tsis tau, ua rau kev kuaj pom lossis kho cov kab mob yam tsis cuam tshuam rau cov hlwb noj qab haus huv. Lawv tau dhau los ua lub hauv paus rau ntau dua 1,800 cov khoom lag luam siv rau hauv kev kuaj mob, kev kho mob, thiab kev tshawb fawb txog lub neej.
Mirkin kuj yog ib tug thawj coj hauv kev tshawb nrhiav cov khoom siv AI, uas cuam tshuam nrog kev siv cov txheej txheem synthesis siab ua ke nrog kev kawm tshuab thiab cov ntaub ntawv loj, zoo tshaj plaws los ntawm cov tsev qiv ntawv loj ntawm ntau lab tus nanoparticles encoded positionally. - Tshawb nrhiav thiab soj ntsuam cov ntaub ntawv tshiab rau kev siv hauv kev lag luam xws li tshuaj, lub zog huv, catalysis, thiab ntau ntxiv.
Mirkin kuj paub txog kev tsim cov cwj mem nanolithography, uas National Geographic tau hu ua ib qho ntawm lawv "100 Scientific Discoveries That Changed the World", thiab HARP (High Area Rapid Printing), ib qho txheej txheem luam ntawv 3D uas tuaj yeem tsim cov khoom siv rigid, elastic, lossis ceramic. nrog cov ntaub ntawv sau cia. Nws yog tus koom ua ke ntawm ntau lub tuam txhab, suav nrog TERA-print, Azul 3D thiab Holden Pharma, uas tau cog lus tias yuav coj kev nce qib hauv nanotechnology rau kev tshawb fawb txog lub neej, biomedicine thiab kev lag luam tsim khoom siab heev.
"Nws yog qhov zoo kawg nkaus," Milkin hais. "Cov neeg uas yeej yav dhau los yog cov neeg uas tau hloov lub ntiaj teb los ntawm kev tshawb fawb thiab thev naus laus zis. Thaum kuv saib rov qab rau cov neeg tau txais yav dhau los, cov neeg tshawb pom cov electron, thawj tus txiv neej uas faib cov atom, tus neeg tsim thawj lub computer, nws yog ib zaj dab neeg zoo kawg nkaus, ib qho kev hwm zoo kawg nkaus, thiab kuv zoo siab heev uas tau koom nrog nws."
Lub Faraday Medal yog ib feem ntawm IET Medal of Achievement series thiab tau muab lub npe tom qab Michael Faraday, leej txiv ntawm electromagnetism, tus kws tsim khoom zoo tshaj plaws, kws tshuaj lom neeg, kws ua vaj tse thiab kws tshawb fawb. Txawm niaj hnub no, nws cov ntsiab cai ntawm kev sib txuas lus hluav taws xob tau siv dav hauv cov tshuab hluav taws xob thiab cov tshuab hluav taws xob.
Lub npe no, thawj zaug tau muab rau Oliver Heaviside 100 xyoo dhau los, uas paub txog nws txoj kev xav ntawm cov kab sib kis, yog ib qho ntawm cov npe qub tshaj plaws uas tseem tau muab. Mirkin nrog rau cov neeg qhuas xws li Charles Parsons (1923), tus tsim lub tshuab cua niaj hnub, JJ Thomson, tau txais txiaj ntsig rau kev tshawb pom lub electron hauv xyoo 1925, Ernes T. Rutherford, tus tshawb pom lub nucleus atomic (1930), thiab Maurice Wilks, nws tau txais txiaj ntsig los pab tsim thiab tsim lub khoos phis tawj hluav taws xob thawj zaug (1981).
"Peb cov neeg tau txais txiaj ntsig niaj hnub no yog cov neeg tsim kho tshiab uas tau ua rau muaj kev cuam tshuam rau lub ntiaj teb uas peb nyob," IET Thawj Tswj Hwm Bob Cryan tau hais hauv ib daim ntawv tshaj tawm. "Cov tub ntxhais kawm thiab cov kws tshaj lij zoo kawg nkaus, lawv tau ua tiav zoo hauv lawv txoj haujlwm thiab txhawb cov neeg nyob ib puag ncig lawv. Lawv txhua tus yuav tsum txaus siab rau lawv cov kev ua tiav - lawv yog cov qauv zoo kawg nkaus rau tiam tom ntej."
Mirkin, tus xibfwb George B. Rathman ntawm Chemistry ntawm Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, yog ib lub zog tseem ceeb hauv Northwest txoj kev loj hlob ua tus thawj coj thoob ntiaj teb hauv nanoscience thiab yog tus tsim lub koom haum International Institute of Nanotechnology (IIN) ntawm Northwest. Mirkin kuj yog xibfwb qhia txog kev kho mob ntawm Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine thiab xibfwb qhia txog Chemical thiab Biological Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science thiab Engineering ntawm McCormick School of Engineering.
Nws yog ib tug ntawm ob peb tug neeg uas tau raug xaiv los ua peb ceg ntawm National Academy of Sciences - National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering thiab National Academy of Medicine. Mirkin kuj yog ib tug tswv cuab ntawm American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Mirkin cov kev pab tau raug lees paub nrog ntau dua 240 qhov khoom plig hauv tebchaws thiab thoob ntiaj teb. Nws yog thawj tus kws qhia ntawv ntawm Northwestern University tau txais Faraday Medal thiab Prize.
