Mustafa(pbuh) Prize, as an important biennial award in the field of science and technology in Islamic countries, recognizes and honors the best scientific works of prominent scientists in the frontiers of knowledge.
The following report reviews the process of introducing and recognizing these scientists.
For the 5th time Mustafa(pbuh) Prize will be granted to prestigious works of Muslim scientists in four categories.
The German professor Herbert Gleiter was presenting his pioneering idea for nanocrystalline materials at a conference in 1990 when he grabbed the attention of a 25-year-old Ph.D. student from Princeton University. The impact of this idea on this young student of chemical engineering was so great that she also spent her postdoctoral studies under the supervision of the same professor in Germany. Now, more than two decades later, nanostructured materials remain the key focus of her research.
