Horizon Europe - EU Multiannual Financial Framework
30 November 2018 Dear Prime Minister / Chancellor / Taoiseach / President, Horizon Europe - EU Multiannual Financial Framework (a letter to Heads of State or Government, signed by Nobel Prize and other international award winners and CEOs and Chairmen of leading European companies) At the European Council meeting in December, European leaders will discuss the 2021-2027 EU Multiannual Financial Framework, including the budget to be assigned to Research and Innovation, mainly through the next framework programme Horizon Europe. On this occasion, we want to remind them of the economic impact and the tangible improvements to European citizens' lives that have been generated over the years by the EU framework programmes for Research and Innovation. We urge Europe’s Heads of State or Government to support or even to increase the investment in Horizon Europe. €120 billion was seen as the absolute minimum to make Europe a global frontrunner by the High Level Group set by the European Commission and chaired by Pascal Lamy. Indeed, EU-funded research had a decisive impact and positively contributed to various areas, such as avoiding unnecessary chemotherapy for breast cancer patients; opening the way to batteries and solar cells of the next generation; reducing aircraft emissions and noise; enhancing cybersecurity; qualifying the future impact of artificial intelligence on jobs; etc. European industry underlines that the EU framework programmes help companies to build up know-how, have access to the “state-of-the-art”, achieve synergies and critical mass, access highly skilled and talented people, and network with customers and suppliers. EU-funded research has made an immense contribution to creating and disseminating scientific knowledge indispensable for innovation to flourish.

Interview with Harry B. Gray
HARRY B. GRAY (b. 1935) INTERVIEWED BY SHIRLEY K. COHEN SEPTEMBER 2000 – MARCH 2001 AND HEIDI ASPATURIAN JANUARY – MAY 2016 Photo taken in 1997 ARCHIVES CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Pasadena, California Subject area Chemistry Abstract Two interviews in seven and six sessions respectively, with Harry Gray, the Arnold O. Beckman Professor of Chemistry. The first series of interviews, conducted in 2000-01 with Shirley Cohen, deals with Gray’s life and career up to that time. The second series, conducted in 2016 with Heidi Aspaturian, covers the period 2001–2016, expands on a number of topics discussed in the first interview series, and adds to the account of Gray’s earlier decades. Discussion topics common to the two interviews are cross-referenced in both texts. 2000–01 Interview Gray opens this interview series with a description of his family roots and formative years in Kentucky’s tobacco-farming country, including his youthful career with the local newspaper and early interest in chemistry. He then provides an account of his undergraduate studies at Western Kentucky State College (BS 1957), graduate work with F. Basolo and R. Pearson at Northwestern University http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechOH:OH_Gray_H (PhD 1960), and postdoctoral work with C. Ballhausen at the University of Copenhagen, where he pioneered the development of ligand field theory. As a professor at Columbia University, he continued work at the frontiers of inorganic chemistry, published several books and, through an affiliation with Rockefeller University, was drawn to interdisciplinary research, which led him to accept a faculty position at Caltech in 1966. He talks about his approach to teaching and his research in inorganic chemistry and electron transfer at Caltech, his interactions with numerous Caltech personalities, including A.

Molecular Machines
Synthetic small molecules as machines: a chemistry perspective Professor Pradyut Ghosh Department of Inorganic Chemistry Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science 2A & 2B Raja S. C. Mullick Road, Kolkata 700032 E-mail: [email protected] 28th Mid-Year Meeting of Indian Academy of Sciences (IASc), Bengaluru, 1st July 2017 Feynman’s Dream on Molecular Machines Classic Talk given at the Meeting of the American Society of Physics in 1959 about the future of design and engineering at the molecular level The possibility of building small machines from atoms i.e. machines small enough to manufacture objects with atomic precision. Transcript of Talk : Caltech Eng. Sci. 1960, 23:5, 22–36. Feynman’s 1984 Visionary Lecture……. How small can you make machinery? Machines with dimensions on the nanometre scale. These already existed in nature. He gave bacterial flagella, corkscrew-shaped macromolecules as an example. Future vision – molecular machines will exist within 25–30 years. The aim of the lecture: To inspire the researchers in the audience, to get them to test the limits of what they believed possible. What neither Feynman, nor the researchers in the audience, knew at the time was that the first step towards molecular machinery had already been taken, but in a rather different way to that predicted by Feynman. What is that? 1953: Mechanical Bonds in Molecules Mid-20th century: Chemists were trying to build molecular chains in which ring-shaped molecules were linked together. The dream: To create mechanical bonds, where molecules are interlocked without the atoms interacting directly with each other. Frisch, H.

How Molecules Became Machines
THE NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY 2016 POPULAR SCIENCE BACKGROUND How molecules became machines The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2016 is awarded to Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Bernard L. Feringa for their development of molecular machines that are a thousand times thinner than a hair strand. This is the story of how they succeeded in linking molecules together to design everything from a tiny lift to motors and miniscule muscles. How small can you make machinery? This is the question that Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman, famed for his 1950s’ predictions of developments in nanotechnology, posed at the start of a visionary lecture in 1984. Barefoot, and wearing a pink polo top and beige shorts, he turned to the audience and said: “Now let us talk about the possibility of making machines with movable parts, which are very tiny.” He was convinced it was possible to build machines with dimensions on the nanometre scale. These already existed in nature. He gave bacterial flagella as an example, corkscrew-shaped macromole- cules which, when they spin, make bacteria move forward. But could humans – with their gigantic hands – build machines so small that you would need an electron microscope to see them? A vision of the future – molecular machines will exist within 25–30 years One possible way would be to build a pair of mechanical hands that are smaller than your own, which in turn build a pair of smaller hands, which build even smaller hands, and so on, until a pair of miniscule hands can build equally miniscule machinery.

A Tribute to Frances Arnold
DOI: 10.1002/aic.16923 EDITORIAL A tribute to Frances Arnold This seventh Founders Tribute of the AIChE Journal recognizes biotechnology in chemical engineering, which thanks in part to Professor Frances Arnold. A native of Edgewood, Pennsylvania, Frances Dr. Arnold is now mainstream in the Chemical Engineering profession. studied mechanical and aerospace engineering at Princeton University We hope that you enjoy this Tribute to Professor Frances Arnold. (B.S., 1979) and chemical engineering at the University of California at Yours sincerely, Berkeley (PhD, 1985). She subsequently conducted postdoctoral research at U.C. Berkeley and at the California Institute of Technology before becoming Visiting Associate in the Chemical Engineering Department at Caltech. Shortly thereafter she joined the faculty of the same Caltech department where she rose through the ranks to her Wilfred Chen1 current position as the Linus Pauling Professor of Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering, and Biochemistry. Frances Arnold has been honored for her outstanding contributions with a number of prestigious honors and awards. Notably, she received the top honor in science, the Nobel Prize (Chemistry, 2018), the first American woman to do so. She is also the first woman to be elected to Cynthia Collins2 the three academies—Engineering, Science, and Medicine. She received the AIChE Professional Progress Award as one of a host of other honors. She has been mentor to nearly 50 graduate students and 140 post docs and visiting scientists, 55 of whom are faculty members. Her seminal contributions, which intersect the fields of chemical engineering, chemistry, and biology, will have lasting fundamental and Patrick Cirino3 technological value.
