I-Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) namhlanje (nge-20 ka-Okthobha) inike uNjingalwazi waseNorthwestern University uChad u-A. Mirkin iMbasa yeFaraday ka-2022.
IMbasa yeFaraday yenye yezona mbasa zibalaseleyo kwiinjineli noososayensi, kwaye yeyona mbasa iphezulu ye-IET enikwa impumelelo ebalaseleyo yesayensi okanye yemizi-mveliso. Ngokwengxelo esemthethweni, uMirkin uhlonitshwe “ngokusungula nokuphuhlisa izixhobo ezininzi, iindlela, kunye nezixhobo ezichaze ixesha lanamhlanje le-nanotechnology.”
“Xa abantu bethetha ngeenkokheli zehlabathi kuphando olubandakanya izifundo ezahlukeneyo, uChad Mirkin uphuma phambili, kwaye impumelelo yakhe engenakubalwa iyila intsimi,” utshilo uMilan Mrksic, usekela-mongameli wophando kwiYunivesithi yaseNorthwestern. “UCahd luphawu kwicandelo le-nanotechnology, kwaye ngesizathu esivakalayo. Uthando lwakhe, umdla kunye netalente yakhe zinikezelwe ekusombululeni imingeni emikhulu kunye nokuphucula ubuchule obusebenzayo. Impumelelo yakhe emininzi yesayensi kunye noshishino idale uluhlu lweetekhnoloji ezisebenzayo, kwaye ukhokela uluntu oluphilayo kwiZiko lethu le-International Institute of Nanotechnology. Eli bhaso lamva nje lifanelekile ukuqatshelwa kobunkokeli bakhe kwiYunivesithi yaseNorthwestern nakwicandelo le-nanotechnology.”
UMirkin waziwa kakhulu ngokuyila ii-spherical nucleic acids (SNA) kunye nophuhliso lweenkqubo zebhayoloji kunye neekhemikhali zokuxilonga kunye nezonyango kunye namaqhinga okwenziwa kwezinto ezisekelwe kuzo.
Ii-SNA zinokungena ngokwendalo kwiiseli zabantu nakwizicwili kwaye zoyise imiqobo yebhayoloji engenakukwazi ukwenziwa zizakhiwo eziqhelekileyo, zivumela ukufunyanwa okanye unyango lwezifo ngaphandle kokuchaphazela iiseli eziphilileyo. Ziye zaba sisiseko seemveliso zorhwebo ezingaphezu kwe-1,800 ezisetyenziswa kuxilongo lwezonyango, unyango, kunye nophando lwesayensi yobomi.
UMirkin ukwanguvulindlela kwicandelo lokufunyanwa kwezinto ezisekelwe kwi-AI, okubandakanya ukusetyenziswa kweendlela zokwenziwa kwezinto ezikumgangatho ophezulu ezidityaniswe nokufunda koomatshini kunye neeseti zedatha ezinkulu nezikumgangatho ophezulu ezivela kwiilayibrari ezinkulu zezigidi zee-nanoparticles ezifakwe kwindawo ethile. - Fumana kwaye uvavanye ngokukhawuleza izixhobo ezintsha zokusetyenziswa kumashishini afana namayeza, amandla acocekileyo, i-catalysis, nokunye.
UMirkin ukwaziwa ngokuqamba i-nanolithography yepeni, ethi iNational Geographic iyibize njengenye ye "100 Scientific Discoveries That Changed the World", kunye neHARP (High Area Rapid Printing), inkqubo yokuprinta ye-3D enokuvelisa iiComponents eziqinileyo, ezithambileyo, okanye zeceramic. ngerekhodi. Ungumseki weenkampani ezininzi, kuquka i-TERA-print, i-Azul 3D kunye ne-Holden Pharma, ezizimisele ukuzisa inkqubela phambili kwi-nanotechnology kwisayensi yobomi, kwi-biomedicine nakwimizi-mveliso ephambili.
“Kuyamangalisa,” utshilo uMilkin. “Abantu abaphumeleleyo kwixesha elidlulileyo babumba abo batshintsha ihlabathi ngesayensi netekhnoloji. Xa ndijonga emva kwabo bafumene ixesha elidlulileyo, abafumani be-electron, umntu wokuqala owahlula i-athomu, umsunguli wekhompyutha yokuqala, libali elimangalisayo, lilungelo elimangalisayo, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo ndonwabile kakhulu ukuba yinxalenye yalo.”
IMbasa yeFaraday yinxalenye yoluhlu lweMedali ye-IET yeMpumelelo kwaye iqanjwe ngoMichael Faraday, uyise we-electromagnetism, umvelisi obalaseleyo, ikhemistri, injineli kunye nososayensi. Nanamhlanje, imigaqo yakhe yokuqhuba i-electromagnetic isetyenziswa kakhulu kwiimoto zombane kunye neejenereyitha.
Le mbasa, eyanikwa okokuqala kwiminyaka eli-100 eyadlulayo ku-Oliver Heaviside, owaziwa ngethiyori yakhe yemigca yokudlulisa, yenye yezona mbasa zindala ezisanikwayo. UMirkin kunye nabaphumeleleyo ababalaseleyo kuquka uCharles Parsons (1923), umsunguli we-turbine yomphunga yanamhlanje, uJJ Thomson, onikwe udumo ngokufumanisa i-electron ngo-1925, u-Ernes T. Rutherford, ufumene i-nucleus ye-athomu (1930), kunye noMaurice Wilks, unikwe udumo ngokunceda ukuyila nokwakha ikhompyutha yokuqala ye-elektroniki (1981).
“Bonke abaphumelele iimbasa zethu namhlanje ngabayili bezinto ezintsha abaye baba nefuthe kwihlabathi esiphila kulo,” utshilo uMongameli we-IET uBob Cryan kwingxelo. “Abafundi kunye neengcali ziyamangalisa, baphumelele kakhulu kwimisebenzi yabo kwaye bakhuthaza abo babangqongileyo. Bonke bafanele bazingce ngempumelelo yabo – bayimizekelo emihle kakhulu kwisizukulwana esilandelayo.”
UMirkin, uNjingalwazi weKhemistri kaGeorge B. Rathman kwiKholeji yoBugcisa neSayensi yaseWeinberg, wayengumntu ophambili ekuveleni kweNorthwest njengenkokeli yehlabathi kwisayensi ye-nanoscience kunye nomseki we-International Institute of Nanotechnology (IIN) yaseNorthwest. UMirkin ukwanguNjingalwazi wezeMpilo kwiSikolo sezonyango saseFeinberg kwiYunivesithi yaseNorthwestern kunye noNjingalwazi wezoBunjineli beKhemikhali neBiological, uBunjineli bezoBugqirha, iSayensi yeZixhobo kunye noBunjineli kwiSikolo soBunjineli saseMcCormick.
Ungomnye wabantu abambalwa abakhethwe kumasebe amathathu eNational Academy of Sciences – iNational Academy of Sciences, iNational Academy of Engineering kunye neNational Academy of Medicine. UMirkin ukwalilungu leAmerican Academy of Arts and Sciences. Igalelo likaMirkin liqatshelwe ngamabhaso angaphezu kwama-240 esizwe nakwamanye amazwe. Wayelilungu lokuqala le-faculty kwiYunivesithi yaseNorthwestern ukufumana iFaraday Medal kunye neBhaso.
