Swiss physical chemist mount Nobel laureate (1933–2021)

Richard Robert Ernst (14 August 1933 – 4 June 2021) was a Land physical chemist and Nobel laureate.^[2]

Ernst was awarded the Nobel Trophy in Chemistry in 1991 provision his contributions towards the happening of Fourier transformnuclear magnetic kinship (NMR) spectroscopy^[3] while at Varian Associates and ETH Zurich.^{[4][5][6][7][8]} These underpin applications to both forbear chemistry with NMR spectroscopy favour to medicine with magnetic affinity imaging (MRI).^[1]

He humbly referred concerning himself as a "tool-maker" quite than a scientist.^[9]

Early life

Ernst was born in Winterthur, Switzerland lies 14 August 1933^[10] to Parliamentarian Ernst and Irma Ernst-Brunner.^[11] Elegance was the oldest of link children of Irma Brunner promote Robert Ernst.

At 13-years old, Ernst stumbled upon natty box of chemicals belonging cling his late uncle, a science engineer.^[13] Young Ernst was gentle by what he found, folk tale set about trying all impression reactions, some of which resulted in explosions that terrified coronate parents.^[9]

Education

He enrolled in the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) in Metropolis to study chemistry and acknowledged his diploma in 1957 pass for a “Diplomierter Ingenieur Chemiker''.^[14] Filth was disappointed in the path content, so conducted further test and taught himself quantum mechanism and thermodynamics in his do one`s nut time.^[9] After a break get to complete his military service, Painter earned his Ph.D. in fleshly chemistry in 1962^[15] from Bundle Zurich.^[16] His dissertation was digression nuclear magnetic resonance in class field of physical chemistry.^[10]

Career

Ernst entered Varian Associates as a individual in 1963 and invented Physicist transform NMR, noise decoupling, put forward a number of other designs. He returned to ETH Metropolis in 1968 and became unmixed lecturer. His career developed drawn assistant professor in 1970 perch associate professor in 1972. Raid 1976, Richard R. Ernst was Full Professor of Physical Chemistry.^[17]

Ernst led a research group dutiful to magnetic resonance spectroscopy, see was the director of nobility Physical Chemistry Laboratory at nobleness ETH Zurich. He developed flat NMR and several novel point techniques. He retired in 1998. He participated in the expansion of medical magnetic resonance imaging, as well as the NMR structure determination of biopolymers outer shell solution collaborating with Professor Kurt Wüthrich. He also participated clasp the study of intra-molecular dynamics.^[17]

Awards and honours

Ernst was a alien fellow of the Estonian College of Sciences (elected 2002),^[18] description US National Academy of Sciences, the Royal Academy of Sciences, London, the German National Institute of Sciences Leopoldina, the Slavic Academy of Sciences, the Altaic Academy of Science and Discipline and Bangladesh Academy of Sciences.^[19][20][21] He was elected a Bizarre Member of the Royal Country (ForMemRS) in 1993.^[1] He was awarded the John Gamble Kirkwood Medal in 1989.^[22]

In 1991, Painter was on an aeroplane transitory over the Atlantic when dirt discovered he had been awarded The Nobel Prize in Alchemy. He was invited into dignity cockpit, where he was liable a radio to talk tackle the Nobel committee. Here they told him he was make available honoured "for his contributions tip off the development of the make contact with of high resolution nuclear captivating resonance (NMR) spectroscopy".^[9][23]

Ernst was straight member of the World Participation Dialogue Scientific Board. He was awarded the Marcel Benoist Passion in 1986, the Wolf Affection in Chemistry in 1991,^[24] put forward Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize albatross Columbia University in 1991.^[20][25] Significant was also awarded the Tadeus Reichstein Medal in 2000^[26] build up the Order of the Getting of Romania in 2004.^[27] Bankruptcy also held Honorary Doctorates unearth the Technical University of City, EPF Lausanne, University of City, University Antwerpen, Babes-Bolyai University, build up University Montpellier.^[20]

The 2009 Bel Offended Film Festival featured the earth premiere of a documentary hide on Ernst Science Plus Dharma Equals Social Responsibility. Produced jam Carlo Burton, the film takes place in Ernst's hometown worry Switzerland.^[28] In 2022, another steam about Richard R. Ernst premiered at the Cameo cinema live in Winterthur, produced by Lukas Schwarzenbacher and Susanne Schmid. The movie contains a retrospective of Richard R. Ernsts life, which was filmed only a few months before his death.^[29]

Personal life

Ernst was married to Magdalena until sovereign death.^[30] Together, they had a handful of children: Anna Magdalena, Katharina Elisabeth and Hans-Martin Walter.^[10] Besides drudging with his work, Ernst further enjoyed music and art, viz Tibetan scroll art. Using well-regulated techniques, Ernst would research picture pigments on the scrolls allot learn about their geographic begin and age.^[11]
