Today (June 24, 1953) is the birthday of the Nobel Prize-winning William Esco Moerner, who first discovered a single molecule by light.

Today (June 24, 1953) is the birthday of the Nobel Prize-winning William Esco Moerner, who first discovered a single molecule by light.

 

William Esco Moerner was born on June 24, 1953, in Pleasanton, California, the son of Bertha Francis (Robinson) and William Alfred Moerner. His family called him by the letters W.E. Named William as a way of distinguishing him from his father and grandfather. Moerner Boy was an Eagle Scout with the Scouts of America. Alexander S. He studied at the University of Washington in St. Louis for a bachelor's degree as a Langstorf Engineering Fellow and received three more degrees. A B.S. In Physics, a B.S. In electrical engineering, the final one is the A.P. In Mathematics in 1975. Following this, Albert J. was Somewhat supported by the National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship at Cornell University in the Severs III Group. Here he is M.S. Degree and Ph.D. He graduated in physics in 1978 and 1982, respectively. His doctoral dissertation is on the vibrational relaxation dynamics of the IR-laser-excited molecular impurity mode in alkali halide lattes.

 

During his school years, Moerner was an honest student from 1963 to 1982. He also received the Dean Award for Outstanding Exceptional Educational Achievement and Ethan A. for Outstanding Achievement in Graduation in College. H. Shepley also won the award. He served as a research staff member at the IBM Almadon Research Center in San Jose, California from 1981 to 1988, as a manager from 1988 to 1989, and as a project leader from 1989 to 1995. After being appointed Visiting Professor of Physical Chemistry, ETH Zurich (1993-1994) served as Special Leader in Physical Chemistry at the University of California, San Diego from 1995 to 1998. In 1997 Robert Burns was named Woodward Visiting Professor at Harvard. University, his research team went to Stanford University in 1998.

 

Moerner was appointed Head of the Department of Chemistry from 2011 to 2014. Areas of his current research and interest include single-molecule spectroscopy and super-resolution microscopy, physicochemistry, chemical physics, biophysics, nanoparticle engineering, nanophotonics, photosensitive polymers, and spectral aperture burning. As of May 2014, Moerner has been listed as a faculty consultant in 26 dissertations written by Stanford graduate students. As of May 16, 2014, 386 releases are listed in Moore's full CV. Recent editorial and advisory committees on which Moerner has worked include Member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIPIP), Member of the Advisory Board of the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences, Academic Cynica, Taiwan, Member of the Consultative Editorial Board for Chemical Physics at Stanford Member of the Advisory Board to the Center and Chairman of the Stanford University Health and Safety Committee.

 

He is currently studying biophysics and imaging of single molecules. He is known for the first time for the detection of a single molecule by light and for the study of the spectrum of a single molecule in short steps. Currently, light-based research of single molecules is widely used in chemistry, physics, and biology. He was awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry along with Eric Betsick and Stephen Bone.
