Plasma Science and Fusion Center at MIT

Robert Guy Griffin, the Arthur Amos Noyes Professor of Chemistry, has been named the recipient of the?International Zavoisky Award, in honor of his outstanding contributions to development of EPR methodology and its applications in biochemistry and living organisms. Established in 1991 by Professor K.M. Salikhov, this award is recognized internationally as one of the major awards for scientific achievement, and is given in recognition of outstanding applications or developments of electron paramagnetic resonance in any field of science. It is supported by the Zavoisky Physical-Technical Institute in Kazan, the Kazan Federal University, the Government of the Republic of Tatarstan, and the Springer-Verlag. The International Zavoisky Award is recognized by the AMPERE Society, the International EPR (ESR) Society, and the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Griffin will be honored with a diploma, a medal, and a monetary prize. He will deliver a lecture on his research virtually at the Award Ceremony, to be held later this month in Kazan. The lecture will then be published in?Applied Magnetic Resonance. A large fraction of the Griffin Group’s research effort is devoted to the development of new magnetic resonance techniques to study molecular structure and dynamics. https://lnkd.in/eF6HcPn4

Delayed, but I wanted to share how thoroughly impressed I was with my recent visit to the Plasma Science and Fusion Center at MIT ?? This virtual field trip, part of our daily Twitch stream on "Building Stuff with NOVA", was an eye-opening experience that deepened my appreciation for the brilliant minds pushing the boundaries of energy production and efficiency. A big thank you to Audrey and Will, as well as the incredible NOVA | PBS crew— Joanie Tobin, Kajal Kapoor, and Caitlin Saks — who ensured everything came together logistically. If you missed the episode, you can catch the video on demand on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eYVCp3mJ And don’t forget to join us live every day at 1 PM Eastern on Twitch! https://lnkd.in/ep_A9EFN -- #STEMedia #EngineeringPurpose #KeepBuilding

Very excited to share that Altator will be featured on the Twitch channel Building Stuff with NOVA! Come listen to Willim Wright and I chat with Dr. Nehemiah J. Mabry, P.E. about the project at 1pm Friday, July 26th on https://lnkd.in/eUdVCw-f.
