This is part of our series on the Sexiest Scientists Alive.
It's surprising that some people who made our sexiest scientists list still haven't been snapped up.
These men and women make the perfect marriage material: intelligent, ambitious, successful, and they have the looks to boot.
For clarity, we define bachelors and bachelorettes as anyone who is not yet married.
Physician-scientist Daniel Kraft
Age: 45
Position: Executive director of the FutureMed program; Faculty chair of medicine at Singularity University; Founder & CEO of IntelliMedicine
Nationality: American
Fun Fact: Kraft has served as a Flight Surgeon and Officer in the Air National Guard with over 100 flying hours in F-15s and F-16s, and was a finalist for NASA-Astronaut Selection.
Kraft, a physician-scientist, explores ways to use developing technology, including new tools, tests, and apps, to improve health and medicine.
He invented a device called the Marrow Miner that quickly harvests bone marrow with less pain for the donor. This makes bone marrow transplants, which treat diseases like leukemia and lymphoma, easier, quicker and less painful for the organ donor, lessening the hurdles to donate.
His other research focuses on stem cells, which could pave the way to regenerative and anti-aging medical applications. He's also worked on heal care statistics and data flow optimization.
Associate physics professor Martin Hanczyc
Age: 42
Position: Associate Professor in the Department of Physics, Chemistry, and Pharmacy
Institution: University of Southern Denmark
Nationality: American
Fun Fact: He's the founder of a vintage bicycle club chapter. He also speaks Italian and Danish.
To demonstrate how early life may have formed on Earth, Hanczyc makes chemical droplets, called "protocells," that behave like living cells. Specifically they behave like the first pre-life chemical compositions — stripped down versions of cell containing only the most fundamental chemicals of a cell.
In these droplets he can simulate how the chemical precursors to life became the cells we know today.
Researcher Rachel Armstrong
Age: 44
Position: Co-Director an architectural research group
Institution: University of Greenwich
Nationality: British
Fun Fact: She enjoys writing science fiction.
Armstrong uses artificial cells that have life-like qualities (but are not fully alive) to create sustainable construction materials that can (hopefully) repair themselves after a crack, bend, or break.
She thinks this type of technology could be used to prevent Venice from sinking. And, these semi-living materials would also take up carbon dioxide (a potent greenhouse gas that drives climate change) from the atmosphere.
