Seven Beckman Awardees Publish in ACS Nano

Thomas Kempa, PhD (2002 BSP), Chad Mirkin, PhD (1992 BYI), Michelle Personick, PhD (2008 BSP), Dayne Swearer, PhD (2019 AOB Postdoc), Michelle Teplensky, PhD (2024 BYI), Weihong Tan, PhD (1997 BYI), and Peidong Yang, PhD (2002 BYI), along with scientists from around the world, collaborated to publish in ACS Nano: "33 Unresolved Questions in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology."

"In this article, the researchers pose and explore 33 questions whose answers could profoundly impact fields such as energy, electronics, the environment, optics, and medicine. These questions highlight the need for deeper foundational understanding, improved tools and techniques, and innovative applications─each with significant societal relevance. Together, they represent a global call-to-action for the scientific community."
