    Perché chiamiamo “fondamentale” la Cenerentola della ricerca? (di M. Brunori) Neanche nel Pnrr si trovano speranze di cambiamento e iniziative coraggiose per la ricerca di base. Ma nelle scienze della vita non sono rare le scoperte nate da progetti di ricerca curiosity driven che richiedono tempo per portare risultati Soci dell'Accademia dei Lincei. (a cura di Maurizio Brunori, Prof. emerito di Chimica e Biochimica, Sapienza Università di Roma, Presidente emerito della Classe di Scienze FMN dell’Accademia dei Lincei) Nelle scienze della vita non sono infrequenti le scoperte innovative nate da progetti di ricerca di base, iniziati per cercare di comprendere qualche importante proprietà di un essere vivente, misteriosa ma ovviamente necessaria se è stata conservata nel corso dell’evoluzione. Questi progetti sono quelli che si iniziano per curiosità intellettuale, ma richiedono libertà di iniziativa, impegno pluriennale e molto coraggio in quanto di difficile soluzione. Un successo straordinario noto a molti è quello ottenuto dieci anni fa da due straordinarie ricercatrici, Emmanuelle Charpentier e Jennifer Doudna; che a dicembre hanno ricevuto dal Re di Svezia il Premio Nobel per la Chimica con la seguente motivazione: “for the development of a new method for genome editing”. Nel 2018 in occasione di una conferenza magistrale che la Charpentier tenne presso l’Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, avevo pubblicato sul Blog di HuffPost un pezzo per commentare l’importanza della scoperta di CRISPR/Cas9, un kit molecolare taglia-e-cuci che consente di modificare con precisione ed efficacia senza precedenti il genoma di qualsiasi essere vivente: batteri, piante, animali, compreso l’uomo. NOBEL PRIZE Nobel Chimica Non era mai accaduto che due donne vincessero insieme il Premio Nobel.

  • Nobel Laureates Endorse Joe Biden
    Nobel Laureates endorse Joe Biden 81 American Nobel Laureates in Physics, Chemistry, and Medicine have signed this letter to express their support for former Vice President Joe Biden in the 2020 election for President of the United States. At no time in our nation’s history has there been a greater need for our leaders to appreciate the value of science in formulating public policy. During his long record of public service, Joe Biden has consistently demonstrated his willingness to listen to experts, his understanding of the value of international collaboration in research, and his respect for the contribution that immigrants make to the intellectual life of our country. As American citizens and as scientists, we wholeheartedly endorse Joe Biden for President. Name Category Prize Year Peter Agre Chemistry 2003 Sidney Altman Chemistry 1989 Frances H.

  • Molecular Geometry and Molecular Graphics: Natta's Polypropylene And
    Molecular geometry and molecular graphics: Natta's polypropylene and beyond Guido Raos Dip. di Chimica, Materiali e Ing. Chimica \G. Natta", Politecnico di Milano Via L. Mancinelli 7, 20131 Milano, Italy [email protected] Abstract. In this introductory lecture I will try to summarize Natta's contribution to chemistry and materials science. The research by his group, which earned him the Noble prize in 1963, provided unprece- dented control over the synthesis of macromolecules with well-defined three-dimensional structures. I will emphasize how this structure is the key for the properties of these materials, or for that matter for any molec- ular object. More generally, I will put Natta's research in a historical context, by discussing the pervasive importance of molecular geometry in chemistry, from the 19th century up to the present day. Advances in molecular graphics, alongside those in experimental and computational methods, are allowing chemists, materials scientists and biologists to ap- preciate the structure and properties of ever more complex materials. Keywords: molecular geometry, stereochemistry, chirality, polymers, self-assembly, Giulio Natta To be presented at the 18th International Conference on Geometry and Graphics, Politecnico di Milano, August 2018: http://www.icgg2018.polimi.it/ 1 Introduction: the birth of stereochemistry Modern chemistry was born in the years spanning the transition from the 18th to the 19th century. Two key figures were Antoine Lavoisier (1943-1794), whose em- phasis on quantitative measurements helped to transform alchemy into a science on an equal footing with physics, and John Dalton (1766-1844), whose atomic theory provided a simple rationalization for the way chemical elements combine with each other to form compounds.
