As the saying goes, heroes have been teenagers since ancient times. In China, there are many young heroes who combine the aura of heaven and earth with the elegance of Zhong Ling. They have outstanding talents or made great contributions to literature and martial arts. The child prodigy we are going to talk about today is called Cao Yuan. In 20 18, Cao Yuan was selected as one of the top ten scientists in the world in 20 18 by the British magazine Nature. At that time, Cao Yuan was only 22 years old, and his age broke the record, becoming the youngest scientist to win this honor since the publication of Nature magazine.

Genius in everyone's eyes

Cao Yuan 1996 was born in Sichuan Province, and later went to live in Shenzhen with his parents. Cao Yingyuan showed a unique talent from an early age. Everyone says that the child is very clever and will certainly make great achievements in the future. When Cao Yuan was in primary school, his academic performance was excellent. When the teacher is in class, he is often the first to answer questions, and his reaction speed is faster than that of ordinary children. When Cao Yuan was in primary school, his grades were generally the first and second in grade.

Cao Yuan not only gets good grades in class, but also likes reading extracurricular books. He is very interested in science, so his favorite extracurricular book is Science Explorer. It can be said that Cao Yingyuan has established his interest in science since he was a child. So when he grew up, he worked hard at scientific research, so that he solved the world physics problem at the age of 22.

Cao Yuan was admitted to Hua Yao Experimental Middle School in 2007. This school is a very famous local high school, and it has a gifted juvenile class. Because of Cao Yuan's outstanding performance and unusual intelligence, the headmaster of the school let Cao Yuan enter the gifted juvenile class and gave him an extraordinary education. Cao Yuan's performance did not disappoint the critical headmaster. It took him only four months to finish the first and second grades of junior high school, and only six months to finish the third grade course.

A year later, he successfully entered high school, when he was only 13 years old. Cao Yingyuan's cleverness surprised all his teachers. This is indeed a veritable genius boy. Not only in liberal arts, but also in science, Cao Yingyuan has shown super understanding and memory. Therefore, it took Cao Yingyuan only one year to complete the high school curriculum, and Cao Yingyuan's genius ability made everyone admire him.

Enter the University of Science and Technology of China

The average student needs three years to complete the junior high school curriculum and three years to complete the senior high school curriculum. However, Cao Yingyuan only attended secondary school for two years. 20 10 was admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China with excellent college entrance examination results, and was placed in the excellent class of physics in Yan Jici, which is very famous in the whole scientific community.

Because this is a gifted junior physics class run by China University of Science and Technology. Cao Yuan was a hungry student in the gifted physics class and was praised by his classmates and teachers. A professor once praised his student Cao Yuan to the reporter: Cao Yuan is a student brought out by my laboratory with outstanding achievements. No matter what topic he gets, he will do it as soon as he gets it. Cao Yuan's outstanding performance made the professor of Chinese Academy of Sciences feel very proud.

However, due to Cao Yingyuan's outstanding talent, the comments of public opinion have also become polarized. Some people think that he is a genius, but others think that he is a monster, because Cao Yingyuan's intellectual development level is really far from the average person.

Dr. MIT

Later on 20 14, Cao yuan went to MIT to study for a doctorate. His research major has always been physics. In the field of physics, Cao Yuan has been studying tirelessly, hoping to overcome the century-old problem of graphene superconductors. However, this problem 100 years, no one scientist has solved.

However, Cao Yuan did not give up and has been trying to explore. Until 20 17, Cao Yuan's team discovered the non-silicon superconductivity of graphene and solved the difficult problem in the history of physics. In 20 18, the British magazine Nature published two SCI articles on graphene superconductors. After these two articles were published, Cao Yuan became famous in the scientific community.

Cao Yuan solved the problem of graphene superconductor, which means that the world energy industry will save a lot of money, amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars. This will greatly promote the development of the world energy industry. It is precisely because of Cao Yuan's contribution to world science that many well-known research institutions want to ask Cao Yuan to work, and even some universities directly want Cao Yuan to be a professor.

Cao Yingyuan was only 22 years old this year. Cao Yuan is not eager for quick success and instant benefit, and does not agree with these superior salary conditions. He wanted to pursue further studies in the field of physics, so he chose to continue to complete his doctorate at MIT. In the past, many universities and research institutions were top research institutions in the United States and Europe, but Cao Yuan thought that he would not work in foreign institutions. He wants to return to China Academy of Sciences after graduating from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and make due contributions to the physical science research of the motherland.

Although Cao Yuan is very young, he is a physicist full of patriotic enthusiasm, which has a lot to do with the education of Cao Yuan's parents and teachers. On the contrary, many China students choose to get married and develop their careers abroad directly after graduation, mainly because they value living conditions and relatively generous salaries abroad.

However, Cao Yingyuan was not moved at all. Like Qian Xuesen, a scientist many years ago, he wanted to go back to the motherland to help develop China's scientific career anyway. At present, Cao Yuan continues to study for a doctorate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After being honored as one of the top ten scientists in the world in 20 18, Cao Yuan was not complacent, but continued to maintain a diligent and modest attitude, diligently studying and delving into physics knowledge. In the physics laboratory, we can often see Cao Yuan's busy figure. He didn't relax his study at all, but went on.

According to Cao Yuan's classmates, Cao Yuan doesn't feel that he has become a world-class physicist at MIT at ordinary times, but despises his classmates with average research attainments. On the contrary, Cao Yuan is very friendly and grounded to his classmates. He often goes hiking and climbing with other students, and his extracurricular life is very rich.

Cao Yuan gradually became a physicist with excellent professional knowledge and low profile. I believe that in the near future, Cao Yuan will definitely make great achievements in the field of physics research, promote the progress of Chinese physics research and become the pride of China. The future of talented boy Cao Yuan remains to be continued. Let's wait and see.
