Bungwe la Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) lero (Okutobala 20) lapereka Mendulo ya Faraday ya 2022 ku Northwestern University (Chad Professor A. Mirkin).
Mendulo ya Faraday ndi imodzi mwa mphoto zodziwika bwino kwambiri kwa mainjiniya ndi asayansi, ndipo ndi mphoto yapamwamba kwambiri ya IET yomwe imaperekedwa chifukwa cha zinthu zabwino kwambiri zasayansi kapena mafakitale. Malinga ndi chikalata chovomerezeka, Mirkin adalemekezedwa chifukwa "chopanga ndi kupanga zida zambiri, njira, ndi zipangizo zomwe zatanthauzira nthawi yamakono ya nanotechnology."
“Anthu akamalankhula za atsogoleri apamwamba padziko lonse lapansi pankhani yofufuza m'magulu osiyanasiyana, Chad Mirkin amapambana, ndipo zomwe wakwanitsa zambiri zasintha gawoli,” anatero Milan Mrksic, wachiwiri kwa purezidenti wa kafukufuku ku Northwestern University. “Chad ndi chizindikiro cha nanotechnology, ndipo pazifukwa zomveka. Chilakolako chake, chidwi chake ndi luso lake zimadzipereka kuthana ndi mavuto akuluakulu ndikupititsa patsogolo luso lopanga zinthu zatsopano. Zomwe wakwanitsa kuchita zambiri pa sayansi ndi mabizinesi zapanga ukadaulo wothandiza, ndipo amatsogolera gulu la anthu odzipereka ku International Institute of Nanotechnology. Mphoto yaposachedwa iyi ndi ulemu woyenera chifukwa cha utsogoleri wake ku Northwestern University komanso m'munda wa nanotechnology.”
Mirkin amadziwika kwambiri chifukwa cha kupanga ma nucleic acids ozungulira (SNA) komanso chitukuko cha njira zodziwira matenda ndi njira zochiritsira zamoyo ndi mankhwala komanso njira zopangira zinthu zochokera pa iwo.
Ma SNA amatha kulowa m'maselo ndi minofu ya anthu mwachibadwa ndikugonjetsa zopinga zamoyo zomwe mapangidwe achikhalidwe sangathe, zomwe zimathandiza kuzindikira majini kapena kuchiza matenda popanda kukhudza maselo athanzi. Akhala maziko a zinthu zamalonda zoposa 1,800 zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito pofufuza matenda azachipatala, chithandizo, ndi kafukufuku wa sayansi ya moyo.
Mirkin nayenso ndi mtsogoleri pa nkhani yopeza zinthu pogwiritsa ntchito AI, zomwe zimaphatikizapo kugwiritsa ntchito njira zopangira zinthu zambiri pamodzi ndi makina ophunzirira komanso ma data akuluakulu komanso apamwamba kwambiri ochokera ku malaibulale akuluakulu a mamiliyoni a tinthu tating'onoting'ono tomwe timalembedwa pamalopo. - Pezani mwachangu ndikuwunika zinthu zatsopano zogwiritsidwa ntchito m'mafakitale monga mankhwala, mphamvu zoyera, catalysis, ndi zina zambiri.
Mirkin amadziwikanso ndi kupanga nanolithography ya zolembera, zomwe National Geographic idazitcha kuti ndi imodzi mwa "100 Scientific Discoveries That Changed the World", ndi HARP (High Area Rapid Printing), njira yosindikizira ya 3D yomwe ingapangitse zinthu kukhala zolimba, zotanuka, kapena zadothi zokhala ndi mbiri yabwino. Iye ndiye woyambitsa makampani angapo, kuphatikizapo TERA-print, Azul 3D ndi Holden Pharma, omwe adzipereka kubweretsa chitukuko mu nanotechnology ku sayansi ya moyo, biomedicine ndi mafakitale apamwamba opanga zinthu.
“Ndi zodabwitsa,” anatero Milkin. “Anthu omwe adapambana kale ndi omwe adasintha dziko lapansi kudzera mu sayansi ndi ukadaulo. Ndikayang'ana m'mbuyo pa omwe adalandira zakale, omwe adapeza ma elekitironi, munthu woyamba kugawa atomu, yemwe adapanga kompyuta yoyamba, ndi nkhani yodabwitsa, ulemu wodabwitsa, ndipo ndikusangalala kwambiri kukhala nawo.”
Mendulo ya Faraday ndi gawo la mndandanda wa IET Medal of Achievement ndipo imatchedwa dzina la Michael Faraday, bambo wa electromagnetism, katswiri wodziwika bwino wopanga zinthu, katswiri wa zamankhwala, mainjiniya komanso wasayansi. Ngakhale masiku ano, mfundo zake zoyendetsera magetsi zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri mu ma mota amagetsi ndi majenereta.
Mendulo iyi, yomwe idaperekedwa koyamba zaka 100 zapitazo kwa Oliver Heaviside, wodziwika ndi chiphunzitso chake cha mizere yotumizira, ndi imodzi mwa mendulo zakale kwambiri zomwe zikuperekedwabe. Mirkin ndi opambana mphoto otchuka kuphatikiza Charles Parsons (1923), woyambitsa turbine ya nthunzi yamakono, JJ Thomson, wodziwika bwino chifukwa chopeza elekitironi mu 1925, Ernes T. Rutherford, wopeza nyukiliyasi ya atomiki (1930), ndi Maurice Wilks, akulemekezedwa chifukwa chothandiza kupanga ndi kupanga kompyuta yoyamba yamagetsi (1981).
"Onse omwe apambana mendulo lero ndi opanga zinthu zatsopano omwe akhudza dziko lomwe tikukhalamo," adatero Purezidenti wa IET Bob Cryan m'mawu ake. "Ophunzira ndi akatswiri ndi odabwitsa, apambana kwambiri pantchito zawo ndipo alimbikitsa omwe ali pafupi nawo. Onse ayenera kunyadira zomwe akwanitsa - ndi zitsanzo zabwino kwambiri kwa m'badwo wotsatira."
Mirkin, Pulofesa wa Chemistry wa George B. Rathman ku Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, anali munthu wofunikira kwambiri pakuonekera kwa Northwest monga mtsogoleri wapadziko lonse mu sayansi ya nanoscience komanso woyambitsa International Institute of Nanotechnology (IIN) ku Northwest. Mirkin ndi Pulofesa wa Zamankhwala ku Feinberg School of Medicine ku Northwestern University komanso Pulofesa wa Chemical and Biological Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering ku McCormick School of Engineering.
Iye ndi m'modzi mwa anthu ochepa omwe asankhidwa kukhala m'magawo atatu a National Academy of Sciences - National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering ndi National Academy of Medicine. Mirkin nayenso ndi membala wa American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Zopereka za Mirkin zadziwika ndi mphoto zoposa 240 zapadziko lonse lapansi komanso zapadziko lonse lapansi. Iye anali membala woyamba wa aphunzitsi ku Northwestern University kulandira Mendulo ndi Mphoto ya Faraday.
