چکیده

In the fall of 2015, Peidong Yang, professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, received a phone call from the MacArthur Foundation. The caller asked if Yang was alone. Having just finished his lunch, Yang hurried to his office. The caller identified himself as the director of the Foundation, and told Yang of his selection for a MacArthur fellowship. The grant recognized Yang’s pioneering work in developing semiconductor nanowires, which are small filaments with tunable optical and physical properties. By the time of the MacArthur grant, Yang, who was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2016, had already made advances in nanowire photonics, including nanoscale lasers. Shortly thereafter, he and his group showed how nanowires could contribute to a zero-carbon energy future by mimicking one of biology’s basic processes: photosynthesis.
