After graduating, Dr. Cao Yuan returned to his motherland and joined Huawei, where he continued to study the practical use of graphene in the electronic energy industry.
At the end of 2018, Huawei announced that a Mate20 mobile phone used a graphene cooling system for the first time, which caused a great response in the industry. Behind this, it is inseparable from Cao Yuan’s research. Cao Yuan's choice to return to China not only promoted the commercial progress of graphene, but also led to breakthrough improvements in Huawei's graphene technology.
Main achievements
On March 5, 2018, "Nature" published two consecutive articles reporting on the major discovery of graphene superconductivity. It is worth noting that Cao Yuan, the first author of the two Nature papers and a doctoral student at MIT, is from China.
On May 6, 2020, Cao Yuan once again published two back-to-back Nature articles, making a series of new progress in magic angle graphene. In one of the Nature articles, Cao Yuan is the first author and the corresponding author with ***; in the other Nature article, Cao Yuan is the first author with ***.
On February 1, 2021, Cao Yuan published "Nature" again. This is his fifth paper published in this world's top academic journal.
