I-LAAAMP -Imithombo yokukhanya ePhezulu yoPhuhliso oluZinzileyo

Ngeprojekthi ye-LAAAMP, iBhunga lezeNzululwazi laMazwe ngaMazwe libambisene neManyano yamaZwe ngamaZwe ePure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) kunye neManyano yeHlabathi yeCrystallography (IUcR) ukuphucula uphando oluphambili lomthombo wokukhanya kunye nesayensi yecrystallographic e-Afrika, eMexico, kwiCaribbean, kuMzantsi-mpuma weAsia nakuMbindi Mpuma.

Iprojekthi enesihloko esipheleleyo kuSetyenziso loMthombo wokuKhanya kunye neNzululwazi yeCrystallographic ukuququzelela uPhuculo loLwazi kunye nokuphucula iMeko yezoQoqosho neNtlalo kwiMimandla ekuJoliswe kuyo yeHlabathi kwaye inefuthe elibonakalayo kuluntu elilusebenzelayo.

Yeyiphi imithombo yokukhanya ehambele phambili kunye nenzululwazi yekristale?

Ayikuko konke ukukhanya okubonakalayo ngeso lenyama. Kwinzululwazi kunye neteknoloji, igama elithi ukukhanya lisebenza ngokubanzi kwimitha ye-electromagnetic. Imithombo yokukhanya ivelisa irediyo, i-microwave, i-infrared, ebonakalayo, i-ultraviolet, i-X-reyi kunye nokukhanya kwe-gamma-ray. Nangona kunjalo, imithombo yokukhanya ephucukileyo inamandla ngakumbi kunemithombo eqhelekileyo, efana neebhalbhu zokukhanya kunye nelasesi zemveli, kwaye zibonelela ngezixhobo ezizodwa zokwandisa imida yophando lwezenzululwazi kwizinto ezintsha kunye nezinto eziphilayo. Bavula ingqiqo kwi-micro- kunye ne-nano-structures yezinto ezenziweyo ezingenakwenzeka ukufumana nayiphi na enye indlela. ICrystallography yinzululwazi ephonononga ukulungelelaniswa kweeathom kwizinto eziqinileyo. Kukho unxibelelwano olusondeleyo phakathi kwenzululwazi yecrystallography kunye nomsebenzi omninzi owenziwe kumaziko omthombo wokukhanya ophucukileyo.

LAAAMP waqala inkqubo yoqeqesho crystallography e Benin ebizwa X-TechLab, ibamba abafundi abamalunga ne-100 ngonyaka. Inkqubo isasaze amakhulu eekopi zencwadana yayo yolwazi kwimithombo yokukhanya ephucukileyo kunye necrystallography ngesiArabhu, isiNgesi, isiFrentshi, neSpanish, kwaye ibonelele ngamathuba akhethekileyo malunga ne-50 faculty kunye nabafundi abavela kumazwe asakhasayo ukuba baqeqeshe kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zokukhanya eziphambili kwihlabathi liphela. .

Kutheni i-AdLS ibalulekile?

Izifo zobhubhane ezifana ne-COVID19 ziyaqhubeka nokubeka imiceli mngeni enkulu kwimpilo yehlabathi kunye neenkqubo zentlalo zoqoqosho. I-AdLS zizixhobo ezinamandla ezinokuthi zisetyenziswe ukufunda ibhayoloji yezifo. “Besebenzisa imithombo yokukhanya ephucukileyo, abaphandi bakwazile ukucacisa ubume beprotein yezi ntsholongwane ngokuzenza iikristale baze bachonge iipateni zemitha esasazekileyo ephuma kuzo kwizibane kwimithombo yokukhanya ekumgangatho ophezulu,” utshilo uSekazi Mitingwa, uSihlalo we IKomiti yesiGqeba ye-LAAAMP. 

“Kusetyenziswa obu buchule kunye nobuchule obuhambisanayo bemikroskopu ye-cryo electron, kuye kwenziwa inkqubela enkulu ekwalathiseni ulwalathiso ekuphuhliseni amayeza okunyanga izifo ezibangelwa zezi ntsholongwane.” 

Imithombo yokukhanya ephuculweyo ingundoqo kwimida yophando kwiinkalo ezininzi kunye namashishini, kwaye ibe ngabancedisi abaphambili benkqubela phambili yesayensi kunye nobuchwepheshe kunye nokutsha, igalelo kwiZizwe eziManyeneyo ze-2030 Agenda.

"Amaziko e-AdLS akhuthaza intsebenziswano yoqeqesho oluninzi kunye noluntu olubanzi lwehlabathi, ngelixa ekhuthaza idiplomacy yesayensi kunye noxolo ngokubanzi."

Uphuhliso oluphathekayo injongo 7 ifuna ukuqinisekisa ufikelelo jikelele kumbane ofikelelekayo ngo-2030. Utyalo-mali kwimithombo yamandla ecocekileyo efana nelanga, umoya kunye ne-thermal kubalulekile. Ukuphuhlisa imithombo yamandla emitsha kunye nokuphucula ukusebenza kakuhle kweenkqubo ezikhoyo kufuna ukuqonda okucacileyo kokubini ukwakheka kunye nokuziphatha kwinqanaba le-microscopic. Uphando kwiindawo ezininzi ze-AdLS lujolise ekuqondeni nasekuphuculeni izinto ezininzi eziqulunqa iseli yelanga ephilayo, kwaye idlala indima ebalulekileyo ekuqondeni izakhiwo zamandla acocekileyo.

UMichele Zema, iGosa eliLawulayo lokuFikelela kwiManyano yaMazwe ngaMazwe yeCrystallography kunye nelungu leKomiti yeSigqeba ye-LAAAMP, yintshatsheli ye-AdLS. "Ngenxa yeendleko zabo eziphezulu kunye nokusetyenziswa kwezinto ezininzi", ucebisa, "izibonelelo ze-AdLS zikhuthaza intsebenziswano yoluleko oluninzi kunye noluntu olubanzi lwehlabathi, ngelixa likhuthaza idiplomacy yesayensi kunye noxolo ngokubanzi."

“Kukulo moya apho i-LAAAMP inegalelo kuphuhliso nokusetyenziswa kwemithombo yokukhanya ephucukileyo ngokuxhobisa ngezakhono kunye nezenzo zediplomacy zesayensi, kubandakanya: 

• ukuxhasa ukushukumiseka kunye noqeqesho lwabaphandi ngeskimu sesibonelelo se-FAST;
• ukumela imfundo yezenzululwazi nenzululwazi ngokusasazwa kweencwadana ezibhalwe ngeelwimi ezininzi nokuthatha inxaxheba kwiiforam zomgaqo-nkqubo wesayensi ezikwinqanaba eliphezulu (umz. WSF2017, CiLAC2018, WSF2019); kwaye
• ukuphuhlisa izicwangciso-qhinga zokuphunyezwa kwamaziko amatsha e-AdLS okanye iziseko zenzululwazi kwimimandla ekujoliswe kuyo”, utsho uZema.

NgokukaZema, uqoqosho lwehlabathi lwexesha elizayo luya kubunjwa kukuqhubela phambili okuqhubekayo kwimimandla ephambili kunye nobuchwepheshe. ICrystallography kunye ne-AdLS zisebenzisana ngesandla, kwaye ziququzelela impumelelo phantse kuwo onke amasebe esayensi kubandakanya chemistry, biology, physics, pharmaceuticals, mineralogy, science material and mathematics.

Ukuqonda ukwakheka kwenkqunto nokunxulumanisa oku kwiipropati kunye nokusebenza kwalo naluphi na uhlobo lwekhompawundi kunikeze indlela entsha yophando lwezenzululwazi. "I-Crystallography kunye ne-AdLS iguqule amashishini kwaye yenze imida emitsha, ukusuka kuyilo lwamayeza amatsha kunye nezixhobo zokuvavanya umxholo weeminerali ze-Mars, ukuhlalutya imihlaba yezolimo eziluhlaza, izicelo zobunjineli kunye nokuvavanya iinyani ze-archaeological," kusho uZema.

Ukuphuhlisa iindlela ezintsha kunye nokuququzelela uphando akubalulekanga nje ekufezekiseni iiNjongo zoPhuhliso oluZinzileyo zowama-2030, kodwa ikamva elomeleleyo, elikhuseleke ngakumbi lenzululwazi noluntu.

"Yonke ye LAAAMPIinkqubo zisebuncinaneni bazo kwaye zifuna ukwandiswa kakhulu. Ukongeza ekugqibezeleni iziCwangciso zeQhinga kwindawo nganye ekujoliswe kuyo, LAAAMP iya kuqhubeka nemisebenzi yokunyusa ingxowa-mali ukubonelela ngenkxaso kuzo zonke iinkqubo zayo,” utshilo uMintingwa. “Iza kupapasha incwadana eguqulelwe kwisiPhuthukezi, imisele izikolo ezitsha zoqeqesho lwekristale zengingqi kwiindawo ezicwangcisiweyo, yandise uqeqesho olukwisiza kunye neesampuli zokuthumela ii-imeyile kwimithombo yokukhanya ephucukileyo. Kananjalo siya kuba sixhasa ngenkxaso ucweyo lwe-accelerator kunye ne-beamline kwi Iziko leLizwe lase-Abdus Salam kwiFizolo yeTheyori ngokubambisana ne I-Arhente yamandla ye-Atomic yeHlabathi kunye neItali Electra umthombo wokukhanya ohambele phambili.”

The Inkqubo yezibonelelo yasekwa njengendlela entsha yokudala amaphulo ezizwe ngezizwe akhokelwa yiManyano yamaLungu e-ISC. Injongo yayo kukukhuthaza uthethathethwano lobulungu ngokujongana nemiba ephambili ekudala ikho kumalungu e-ISC ekuphuhliseni imfundo yezenzululwazi, ukufikelela eluntwini kunye nemisebenzi yothethathethwano noluntu, kunye nokudibanisa izixhobo zokusebenza kwintsebenziswano yezenzululwazi yamazwe ngamazwe.
