For example, at the age of 22, he was selected by the world's top scientific magazine Nature as? Top Ten Sciences in 20 18? Cao Yuan, the talented boy at the top of the list. He is a post-95 generation, and he is also an ordinary-looking young man. However, his legendary experience is amazing.

1996, Cao Yuan was born in Chengdu, which is known as the land of abundance. At the age of three, he moved to Shenzhen with his parents. At that time, Shenzhen was surrounded by a strong electronic atmosphere. It is often said that there were more than three kinds of Shenzhen in the 1990s: more money, more people and more electronic products. Since Cao Yuan can remember, his surroundings have been full of electronic products.
Other children are exposed to all kinds of exquisite toys in this city. What Cao Yuan can find in this city is all kinds of electronic components and circuits. When he was a child, his favorite thing to do was to find a lot of old things in those old electronic markets and disassemble and reassemble them, especially the electronic circuits inside, which has always been his favorite.

Such a living atmosphere and hobbies have laid the groundwork for Cao Yuan to rewrite the future process of world science. In 2007, 1 1 year-old Cao Yuan was selected to study in Shenzhen Yaohua Experimental School. As far as Guangdong province is concerned, Shenzhen Yaohua has had? Genius school? All the teenagers who can enter this middle school have different talents from ordinary people. Poor students from this school can only go to Shenzhen University. The primary goal of ordinary students is Tsinghua Peking University; The learning goals that enable the outstanding students of Yaohua Middle School to work hard are the world's top universities such as Oxford and Stanford.

Even though all the students in this university are top students who choose the best among the best, Cao Yuan still stands out among the students in the same class. All the courses, he will listen; His understanding of textbook knowledge is far beyond the teacher's syllabus. In his spare time after class, Cao Yuan used his children of the same age to play games and chase stars to conduct a personal electronic component experiment. In order to support Cao Yuan's hobby, considerate parents specially set up a laboratory for Cao Yuan at home. Cao Yuan can take out stitches and install some small experiments in the laboratory at home alone.

Cao Yuan's extraordinary learning talent has attracted the attention of the principal of the school. In order to get the best educational resources for Cao Yuan, the school set up a special teaching team for him to help Cao Yuan learn junior high school and senior high school courses quickly, and at the same time, it also specially cultivated Cao Yuan's innovative inquiry spirit. In just three years, Cao Yuan, who was 14 years old, had completed all the courses in junior and senior high schools, and took the college entrance examination in 20 10. In that year, Cao Yuan was admitted to the Junior College of the University of Science and Technology of China with a score of 669. Founded in 1978, the juvenile class of the Chinese University of Science and Technology has never lacked the so-called? Child prodigy, genius? However, the appearance of Cao Yuan still adds a legendary figure to this legendary juvenile class.

Cao Yuan became recognized by teachers and classmates? Great god? However, this great god boy has never been arrogant. Obviously, he has occupied the top of the scientific and technological circle of his peers. Cao Yuan still completed his undergraduate studies with a calm and low-key pace. When he was in college, he took the initiative to study in Professor Zeng Changgan's laboratory. Under the guidance of his teacher, he diligently conducted theoretical research on graphene and other aspects.
In 20 12, Cao Yuan was sent by the school as the first international exchange student to study at the University of Michigan. In 20 13, he won the top overseas exchange scholarship and went to Oxford University for a two-month scientific experiment. In 20 14, Cao Yuan went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to continue his studies in order to further his own scientific research theory.
Cao Yuan graduated from undergraduate course.
What kind of light will this genius boy, who is a blockbuster in China, shine in this place known as the world's top academic paradise? During his study at MIT, he spent four years studying the superconductivity of graphene. In fact, as early as when he was studying in China, Cao Yuan had already raised the question of how to change the properties of materials to achieve superconducting state. After many years, he still insisted on studying this question and got an answer that shocked the physics community. In 20 17, when Cao Yuan was studying for his Ph.D. in this school, he theoretically speculated that the two layers of graphene superimposed together would undergo great changes, thus realizing the properties of superconductors. However, Cao Yuan's speculation was scoffed at by many big names in physics.

They think that a 22-year-old prospective doctoral student in China wants to solve it just by relying on his own speculative theory? Dark ages in electric physics? It is a fable that there has been an unsolved problem for 30 years. In the face of such doubts and ridicule, Cao Yuan did not flinch at all. He confidently carried out the specific superposition experiment of two layers of graphene materials. Even when he got the correct experimental results, Cao Yuan still spent six months preparing enough supporting materials and papers for him to establish the graphene conduction theory.
On March 5, 200018, Cao Yuan submitted his two papers related to the superconducting theory of graphene to the editorial department of Nature, and his papers shocked the global scientific community. A little-known young boy broke the problem that puzzled physics 107 by himself, and made a great breakthrough in the field of graphene superconductivity.

In the same year, in Nature magazine 10, the whole cover picture actually used the carbon ring structure and numbers of graphene. 10? Designed as a foundation. This world-class academic journal welcomed the youngest China scholar and affirmed Cao Yuan's contribution to this brand-new field of physics research. Since then, Cao Yuan is not only the pride of Chinese physicists, but also known by physicists from all walks of life around the world.
From that time to today, there are still countless top universities and scientific research institutions extending olive branches to Cao Yuan, even hoping that he can serve as a professor. For the invitation of the world's top physics institutions and universities, Cao Yuan made this reply: I will go back to China after I finish my studies. ? He is a teenager in China. He has the ambition of a teenager in China. He has set an example for the young people today. Such an outstanding person can be called? National idol? .
