Prof. Micha Asher from the Institute of Chemistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem was selected for the prestigious list of 50 by the magazine "Scientific American" for 2004. The list of 50 includes selected people who have demonstrated outstanding technological and scientific leadership. Prof. Asher was selected in the "scientific leadership" category for developing a new method for creating nanostructures.
For the third year in a row, the magazine "Scientific American" recognizes the 50 people, teams, companies and organizations whose achievements in the fields of research, business or policymaking have demonstrated exceptional technological and scientific leadership. The winners are chosen thanks to their contribution to various fields of technology and science, including: agriculture, communications, computers, defense mechanisms, energy and the environment.
Prof. Asher was included in the prestigious list for 2004 thanks to research he carried out together with research student Dr. Gabriel Kerner. In their research published during the year 2004, the development of an innovative process was presented that allows the creation of metallic patterns on a solid surface, in submicron and nanometric dimensions. The process is based on the use of laser radiation and an intermediate layer, and has application potential in the field of microelectronics.
On the eve of the publication of the list, Prof. Asher said: "I am happy for the privilege of being included in the selected group of the journal 'Scientific American'." The full list of "Scientific American" will appear in the December issue of the journal, which will hit newsstands in the US on November 23, 2004. The list will also appear on the journal's website. On November 16, a reception will be held at the New York Academy of Sciences in honor of the winners.
Prof. Ehud Shapira from the Weizmann Institute of Science was selected as a world leader in nanotechnology and one of the list of 50 scientific leaders on behalf of the magazine "Scientific American"
Prof. Ehud Shapira from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, was selected as a "research leader in the fields of nanotechnology and molecular electronics", and as one of the list of 50 scientific leaders on behalf of Scentific American magazine for 2004.
Prof. Shapira was selected for this list as the inventor of a biological molecular calculation system that a trillion like may be found and operate in a drop of solution. This calculation system is built from molecules of the genetic material, DNA, and enzymes that cut and connect these molecules. Recently, Prof. Shapira and the members of the research group he heads succeeded in programming the tiny system so that it detects - in vitro - markers for cancerous diseases, and in response releases a molecule that inhibits these markers.
Prof. Shapira recently won the 2004 World Technology Award in Biotechnology. His research student, Yaakov Benanson, was named to the list of 100 most influential young inventors in the world by the Technology Review magazine published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT.
Scientific American's list of 50 scientific leaders will appear in the December issue of the journal, which will hit newsstands in the United States on November 23. The list of scientific leaders of the journal also appears on the website: www.sciam.com
