Charles Lieber is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Chemist known for nanowires and nanoscale materials
Lieber, who is Jewish and born in Philadelphia, pioneered the controlled synthesis of semiconductor nanowires, showing that their composition, diameter and structure could be tuned to order. This opened nanoscale electronics, sensors and probes able to interface with living cells and neurons. Thomson Reuters named him the world's leading chemist for the decade 2000–2010.
