 Yamanaka Shinya  山中伸弥   人工多能性幹細胞(iPS細胞)で ノーベル生理学・医学賞 山中伸弥  1962年9月4日~  64歳 大阪府枚岡(ひらおか)市 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Yamanaka Shinya is a famous Japanese scientist.   He was born in Osaka in 1962. He first trained to become an orthopedic doctor(整形外科医).   He wanted to help injured patients, but he decided to become a researcher to cure difficult diseases. In 2006, he succeeded in creating iPS cells from mouse skin cells.   Just one year later, in 2007, his team made human iPS cells. "iPS cells" stands for induced pluripotent stem cells(誘導多能性幹細胞。).   They are special "master cells" created by adding four specific genes(遺伝子) into ordinary body cells.   iPS cells can grow into almost any type of cell in our body.   They can turn into heart, nerve, retina, liver, or muscle cells. He won the Nobel Prize in Physiology(生理学) or Medicine in 2012.   He received the prize together with British scientist ...

Kitagawa Susumu  北川進  金属有機構造体(MOF  モフ)でノーベル化学賞 北川 進 ・1951年7月4日  京都府四条河原町~  (75歳) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Kitagawa Susumu is a famous Japanese chemist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2025. He is highly praised for developing new materials called MOFs (Metal-Organic Frameworks) . MOFs are special materials made by joining metal ions and organic molecules together. They look like tiny "jungle gyms" or scaffolding made of molecules, creating a hollow 3D network. Because of this structure, MOFs have countless nanoscale microscopic holes (pores) inside them. These tiny holes can act like a sponge to trap, store, or separate various gases . They can capture carbon dioxide (CO2) to help fight global warming, or safely store hydrogen for green energy. They can even collect water from dry desert air to create drinking water. Before Kitagawa's work, many people thought these porous materials would just collapse, but he proved they can be stable and flexible. K...

SSoai Kenso   硤合 憲三 (そあい・けんそう) ソアイ反応で ノーベル化学賞 硤合 憲三 (そあい けんそう) ・ 1950年5月3日    広島県安芸郡府中町~ 埼玉県志木市   76歳 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Soai Kenso is a famous Japanese chemist and professor. He was born in Hiroshima, Japan, in 1950. He became an honorary professor at the Tokyo University of Science. He discovered a special chemical reaction called the "Soai reaction." In nature, some molecules have "right-handed" and "left-handed" shapes, like our hands. His reaction produces only one shape, even from an extremely tiny difference. This discovery helps scientists understand how life on Earth started. Many scientists around the world praise his great work. 硤合 憲三(そあい けんそう)は、 日本の著名な化学者・大学教授です。 1950年に日本の広島県で生まれました。 東京理科大学の栄誉教授を務めています。 「硤合反応(ソアイ反応)」と呼ばれる特別な化学反応を発見しました。 自然界の分子には、 人間の右手と左手のように「右手型」と「左手型」のかたちがあります。 硤合反応は、 ほんのわずかな差からでも、最終的に片方のかたちだけを作り出します。 この発見は、地球上の生命がどのように始まったのかという謎を解く手がかりになっています。 彼の素晴らしい業績は、世界中の科学者から高く評価されています。 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 「人生で最も刺激的な日」強い探究心…努力...
