1957 introduction of yang Zhenning, winner of the nobel prize in physics.

Yang Zhenning, a native of Hefei, Anhui Province, was born on August 22,1/in the Republic of China.

1928 studied in Xiamen Primary School, 1933 studied in Chongde Middle School in Beiping, 1938 transferred to Kunwan Middle School in Kunming, 1942 graduated from National Southwest Associated University, 1944 graduated from National Southwest Associated University Research Institute,/kloc-0. /kloc-0 completed his Ph.D. degree at the University of Chicago in the summer of/948./kloc-0 studied at Princeton University in the autumn of/949 and won the Nobel Prize./kloc-0 was elected as an academician of Academia Sinica in/958. 1965, at the invitation of Thor, president of new york State University, he established the Shixi Research Department. 1966, he left Princeton and became a professor at the Institute of Physics of the State University of New York at Stony Brook. 1938, Yang was admitted to the Department of Chemistry of National Southwest Associated University, which was merged by Tsinghua, Peking University and Nankai University at that time, and later changed to the Department of Physics.

1957, in cooperation with Li Zhengdao, he overthrew Einstein's "parity conservation law" and won the Nobel Prize in physics. Their contributions are highly praised and considered as one of the milestones in physics. Although he has become an American citizen, he is also a "Chinese-American" and China people are proud of news. Yang is also proud of being cultivated by China culture. When they accepted the Nobel Prize that year, he delivered a speech on their behalf. In the last paragraph, he said, "I am deeply aware of the fact that, in a broad sense, I am the product of China culture and western culture, not only the product of harmony, but also the product of conflict between the two sides. I want to say that I am proud of my China tradition. Similarly, I am committed to modernization.

1957 brief introduction of Li zhengdao, winner of the nobel prize in physics.

1945 In the spring, suddenly a chubby teenager came to see me. Took a letter of introduction. The letter was written by brother Liang Dapeng, whom I met when I first arrived at the University of Michigan in 193 1. Liang doesn't study physics. He hasn't heard from me for over ten years. I don't know how to think of me. The child he introduced me to is called Li Zhengdao. He was originally a freshman at Yishan Zhejiang University. When the Japanese army approached Yishan, he ran to Chongqing. His aunt knows Liang, and Liang introduced Li Laikun to me. It was the middle of the school year, and it was impossible to transfer without passing the exam. At the meeting, I discussed with several gentlemen who taught physics and mathematics in grade two, and asked Li to take the exam in class. If he passes the exam, he can be exempted from the second grade course when he officially transfers to the second grade in the summer vacation. In fact, this is only a reasonable way for me, and it has not been officially recognized and approved by the school.

Li has plenty of spare time to cope with this course. He comes to me every day and asks me to give him more reading materials and exercises. It is really strange that he is eager to learn. Sometimes I have rheumatism, and he rubs my back. He helps me with the housework. No matter what difficult books and topics I give him, he will finish them quickly and need more. From his steps in doing the problem, I can easily find that his thinking is agile and different. To tell the truth, in the following year, I fell ill because of my own problems-Guan Shi (Dr. Wu's wife-editor); Daily shopping, cooking and cooking; Prices are rising day by day, and I'm really not in the mood to prepare many reference books and topics for him. Fortunately, he is gifted and needs no explanation.

1945, Mr. Zeng Zhaolun suddenly came to me and said that Mr. Chen Zixiu, Minister of Military and Political Affairs, and Mr. Yu Dayou, Second Minister, wanted to talk to China about planning some scientific work for the Military and Political Affairs Department. Although Zeng and I have been colleagues for more than ten years and China for six or seven years, our friendship is not deep. Mr. Chen Yu has never met. My physics has nothing to do with practicality. But if you think about it, it doesn't hurt to talk about it. So he went to Chongqing with China and met with Mr. Yu and Mr. Wang successively.

Mr. Chen Yuji wants to know how to plan and help national defense scientific research institutions. I thought about it for a few days, and I made a suggestion that our country is short of talents. Any plan should start from the root, that is, (1) set up a research institution to train basic talents; (2) initially send physics, mathematics and chemistry personnel out to study, observe the scientific progress of various departments in recent years, put forward a concrete proposal, and plan to set up a research institution and send outstanding young people immediately.

After consideration, Mr. Er thinks that the scheme I want to write is feasible, that is, Hua and I are in charge of the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Physics. We also suggest that Zeng Zhaolun be in charge of the Department of Chemistry.

After I returned to Kunming, I told all this to the world. When it comes to choosing two young people to study physics, Guan Shi and I chose Li Zhengdao without hesitation. At that time, among the graduate students and teaching assistants in The National SouthWest Associated University, there was no such diligent talent as Li (who had been admitted to Tsinghua to study in the United States; Huang Kun studied in Britain through Zhongying Geng).

Li Zhengdao said that although he only stayed under Wu Dayou for one year and two months, it was the most beneficial period in his life. He said that what I learned from the martial arts master included not only the cultivation of personality, but also "loyalty" to knowledge. However, Li Zhengdao did not talk too much about such an important process. Because he thinks I have a long relationship with Wu poetry, and it can't be finished in one sentence, otherwise it doesn't matter. He admitted that Wu Dayou was the teacher who had the deepest influence on him.

1976 introduction of Ding Zhaozhong, winner of the nobel prize in physics.

1997 introduction of Steven Chu, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Science 1997 10 10 15 announced that this year's Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Steven Chu, a physics professor at Stanford University, Philip from the American Institute of Standards and Technology, and Keon Tanoji, a French scholar. This is another Chinese scientist who won the Nobel Prize after Yang Zhenning, Li Zhengdao, Ding Zhaozhong and Li Yuanzhe, and also a China person who won the Nobel Prize in Physics for four times.

1998 Brief introduction of Cui Qi, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics.

19981October 13, the Royal Swedish Academy announced that it would award the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physics to German scientist Horst Stolmer, Chinese-American scientist Cui Qi and American scientist Robert laughlin in recognition of their great contributions to the study of quantum physics. Cui Qi is a graduate of Peizheng Middle School.

According to the press release issued by the Royal Swedish Institute 13, Professor Stormer and Professor Cui Qi studied electrons in 1982 under the experimental conditions of strong magnetic field and ultra-low temperature. They found that under this condition, a large number of interacting electrons can form a new quantum fluid with some special properties.

A year later, Professor laughlin explained their experimental results. On the basis of this discovery, scientists have made some important discoveries one after another. The communique emphasizes that the achievements of these three scientists are major breakthroughs in the field of quantum physics and have made important contributions to the development of new theories in many branches of modern physics.

1982, Cui Qi and Stolmer studied electrons under the experimental conditions of strong magnetic field and ultra-low temperature. They pressed gallium arsenide and gallium arsenide chloride semiconductor wafers together, so that a large number of electrons gathered at the junction of the two wafers. They put this chip combination in an ultra-low temperature environment of only one tenth of absolute zero (about MINUS 273 degrees Celsius), and then applied a super-strong magnetic field equivalent to one million times the strength of the earth's magnetic field. They found that under this condition, a large number of interacting electrons can form a new quantum fluid, which has some special properties, such as the disappearance of resistance and the strange phenomenon of a small number of electron charges. A year later, Professor laughlin explained their experimental results. On the basis of this discovery, scientists have made some important discoveries one after another.

The discovery of electronic quantum fluid phenomenon is a major breakthrough in the field of quantum physics and has made important contributions to the development of new theories in many branches of modern physics. In April this year, Cui Qi won the famous Franklin Prize in America.

Cui Qi said on his website on the Internet that his main academic interest is to study the properties of electrons in metals and semiconductors. His research will be used to develop more powerful computers and more advanced communication equipment.

Cui Qi, one of the Nobel Prize winners in physics, was born in Henan, China in 1939. In 1950s, he went to Hong Kong to study, 1957 graduated from Peizheng Middle School, and then went to the United States for further study. 1967, he received a doctorate in physics from the University of Chicago, and then worked in Bell Laboratories. He has been a professor at Princeton University since 1982. At present, he is engaged in the research on the basic properties of electronic materials. Cui Qi's wife is American, and they have two daughters.

In the United States, Xinhua News Agency quoted Li Jiqun, a student of Professor Cui Qi from China, as saying that Cui Qi is easy-going, but he is strict with his students. He has a keen mind and enjoys high prestige among teachers and students. /kloc-On the morning of 0/3, Cui Qi came to school as usual. When everyone congratulated him, he smiled as usual and just said "thank you" and hid. It is reported that Cui Qi is very concerned about the motherland and often talks about the development of the motherland with China students.

1986 introduction of Li Yuanzhe, winner of the nobel prize in chemistry.

Li Yuanzhe was born on1October 29th in hsinchu city, Taiwan Province Province, China, 1936 165438, and studied in Hsinchu Primary School and Hsinchu Middle School. 1959 Graduated from Taiwan Province Provincial University, majoring in chemistry, 196 1 Master from Tsinghua University Institute of Atomic Science, Taiwan Province Province.

From 65438 to 0962, he went to study in the Department of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley. 1965 After receiving his Ph.D., he joined Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and did postdoctoral research with Professor Bruce Ma Heng. From 1967 to Harvard University to continue postdoctoral research. 1968 was hired as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry by the University of Chicago, 197 1 year, 1973. 1974, he became a professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, and a senior director researcher at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. 1979 was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences. 1980 was elected as an academician of academia sinica. 1994 was appointed president of academia sinica.

Li Yuanzhe is mainly engaged in the research of chemical kinetics, and has made outstanding contributions in chemical kinetics, kinetics, molecular beam and photochemistry. Molecular beam method is a new technology, which was successfully tested in 1960. At first, the cross molecular beam method was only suitable for the reaction of alkali metals. Later, in 1967, Li Yuanzhe cooperated with Professor D.R. Herchbach to develop it into a universal and powerful tool for studying chemical reactions. After more than ten years, Li Yuanzhe constantly improved this technology to study the important reactions of larger molecules. The "molecular beam collider" and "ion beam collider" designed by him have been able to deeply understand all stages of various chemical reactions, enabling people to study all stages of chemical reactions at the molecular level, enabling people to study all States of chemical reactions at the molecular level, and providing new prospects for manually controlling the direction and progress of chemical reactions.

From 65438 to 0986, Li Yuanzhe successively won the Harrison Howe Prize of the American Chemical Society, the Peter Joseph William Debye Prize in Physical Chemistry, the Lawrence Prize of Mei Yuandou, the National Science Award of the United States, the Faraday Prize of royal society of chemistry and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. In addition, Li Yuanzhe has been awarded dozens of honorary titles by academic organizations and universities in various countries, such as honorary doctor, honorary professor, honorary professor and outstanding alumnus.

Despite his heavy scientific research and teaching work, Professor Li Yuanzhe still actively participated in social services, and participated in various consulting work of international academic groups, the federal government of the United States, the state government of California and the University of California. Li Yuanzhe has always been concerned about the development of science education in his hometown and motherland. In the past ten years, he has returned to China many times every year, shuttling between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, hosting academic lectures and attending academic conferences, especially injecting a lot of painstaking efforts into the preparation of the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Studies of Academia Sinica. 1994 1 month, Li Yuanzhe returned to China to accept the heavy responsibility of the president of academia sinica, and at the same time decided to revoke American citizenship and devote himself to promoting the development of domestic scientific research, which reflected his strong homesickness and selfless dedication.

1946, Wang Yongfu, Arizona became the first Chinese-American state legislator to be elected to the state legislature of the United States.

When Hawaii officially became a state of the United States in 1959, Hiram Fong was elected to the United States Senate. This is also the first Chinese senator in American history.

After 1970s, March Fong Eu, a Chinese-American woman, became the Secretary of State of California, the highest-ranking Chinese-American elected official in mainland China at that time.

In 1980s, Chinese Daniel Wu was elected as the deputy governor of Delaware, and Lily Lee Chen was elected as the deputy mayor of Monterey Park, California. Chia Wei Woo became the first China president of San Francisco State University, and Tian Changlin became the first China vice president of the University of California, Berkeley.
