Nominator's project description
| Prof. Dr. Yeshayahu Talmon from Technion-Israel Institute of Technology Haifa, has received the Alexander von Humboldt award because of his outstanding experimental work on the visualization of dynamic structures in complex fluids with the cryo-TEM method. He is worldwide the foremost expert in the area of cryo-TEM. The scientific community in this field is grateful to him for his spectacular micrographs on spherical and rodlike micelles, on vesicles and in particular on details of structures in self aggregating systems. For the first time he made the thickened end caps and the branching of wormlike micelles directly visible. During his stay 2004 in Bayreuth he will help to establish the cryo-TEM method at the University, cooperate with the colleagues of the Sonderforschungsbereich 481 and the BZKG on blockcopolymer and surfactant solutions. A special goal will be the visualization of transient species during phase transformations. |
