For scientific workers around the world, Nobel Prize is a supreme honor. Every scientist who won the Nobel Prize is a monument in the history of science around the world.
Nobel Gold Medal
This year's Nobel Prize will be announced between October 3 and 10 next month, and it is only one week away. Before the Nobel Prize is announced every year, the prediction of the Nobel Prize is also an important task for major institutions and media. Just a few days ago, Clarivian, a paper and journal indexing platform, announced the 2022 "Citation Crown Award" winner , which has become the most accurate indicator for predicting Nobel Prize winners in the past decade.
This year's "Citation Award" was awarded to 20 famous scholars from all over the world. Among them, 14 people are from the United States, 3 are from Japan, 2 are from the United Kingdom, and 1 is from Germany . It is worth mentioning that 9 of the 10 Nobel Prize winners before all won the "Citation Laurel Award" . The only winner who did not win the "Citation Laurel Award" is the Literature Prize winner, and the "Citation Laurel Award" does not have a Literature Prize.
. Among the 14 American scholars who won the award this year, one is an alumnus of Nanjing University . He is currently a professor at Stanford University in the United States and a famous Chinese scholar - Bao Zhenan . Professor Bao Zhenan is also considered to be the scientist who is most promising to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry this year.
Bao Zhenan
Bao Zhenan is an undergraduate alumnus of Nanjing University in 1987 and is also a native of Nanjing. After graduating from Nanjing University, he immigrated to the United States, and entered the University of Chicago to study for a master's degree. The instructor was Chinese polymer chemist Yu Luping, and Professor Bao Zhenan also graduated from the University of Chicago until his doctoral degree.
000000 1995, Bao Zhenan directly entered Bell Laboratory as a researcher, and won the title of Outstanding Researcher in Bell Laboratory in 2001. In 2002, Bao Zhenan was selected as one of the twelve outstanding young scientists by the American Chemical Society Female Chemists Committee. In 2004, he entered the Department of Chemistry at Stanford University to teach. Since then, Bao Zhenan's scientific research career has begun to reach its peak.
In 2011, Bao Zhenan won the Influence World Chinese Award , and was selected as the 100 top materials scientists in the world in the same year, ranking 62nd. was elected as an academician of the American Academy of Engineering in 2016; was promoted to the dean of the School of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University in 2017. He was the first Chinese woman to be the dean of Stanford; was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2021.
prediction reasons for winning
Professor Bao Zhenan's research scope includes chemistry, materials science, energy, nanoelectronics and molecular electronics, organic and polymer semiconductor materials, sensing materials, organic semiconductor transistors, organic solar cells , electronic paper, artificial electronic skin ;
. The research results of Professor Bao Zhenan's award are: for developing a new bionic application of organic and polymer electronic material , including flexible " electronic skin ".
Electronic skin is a high-sensitivity flexible plastic film material invented by Professor Bao Zhenan's research team that can simulate human skin. This material consists of highly sensitive electronic sensors, which form a film similar to human skin when countless sensors are connected into one piece. The future research direction of its is to connect artificial skin with the human nervous system to create an artificial skin with the same function as human skin, which can connect it with the nerve cells in the arm and restore the feeling of the arm .If the research and development is successful, it will be a blessing for people with disabilities.
In this year's 2022 Nobel Prize for Chemistry prediction list, except Bao Zhenan;
ranked second in the award team is Professor Squibb and Professor of Molecular Biology at Princeton University in the United States and Director of the Department of Molecular Biology, and Researcher at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute: Bonnie L. Bassler and Professor of Microbiology at the University of Washington School of Medicine in the United States. The team's prediction of the reason for winning : Research on gene expression of bacteria through group sensing - a system that coordinates chemical communication and coordination;
The third place is Patterson Rockwood Energy Professor of Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Harvard University, USA: Daniel G. Nocera, Predicted the reason for winning : Basic experimental and theoretical contributions to proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) and its application in energy science and biology.
2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry will be announced a week later during the National Day. Let us wait and see if Nanjing University alumnus Chinese scholar Bao Zhenan can win the award as he wishes.
