Two consecutive articles in Nature reported the great discovery of graphene superconductivity. It is noteworthy that Cao, the first author of these two Nature papers, was originally from China. On December 18, 218, Cao Yuan topped the list of scientific figures of the year in Nature. Cao Yuan, male, was born in 1996. His native place is Chengdu, Sichuan, and he is a doctoral student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The youngest China scholar who published a paper as the first author in Nature.

First of all, it is stated that what Cao Yuan discovered was not superconductivity at room temperature. In addition, if anyone discovers superconductivity at room temperature now, he will surely win the Nobel Prize in Physics. This was originally last year, but I don't know when it was fired again. Cao was originally from China, and he was born in 1996. Now he is studying for a doctorate at MIT. Some time ago, he discovered the special superconductivity of graphene and published two papers in the world's top scientific journal Nature as the first author, which can be said to be a great fame.

The phenomenon of superconductivity has always been studied by scientists. If a conductor realizes superconductivity, it means that it will not generate heat when transmitting current, that is, it will not cause energy loss, which is of great significance to the scientific community. If normal temperature superconductivity can be realized, it means that the world will save a lot of electric energy every year. If superconductors can be used as materials for transmitting electric energy, the energy consumption will be reduced to a minimum.

The two-person group that discovered graphene also won the Nobel Prize. Because of its super performance, people are constantly giving new expectations. Some people have conducted superconducting experiments with it, but no progress has been made. Cao Yuan's achievement this time is to discover the transformation of graphene in two States of electronic conduction and non-conduction. If this can form a theory, how is this critical point formed? If other materials can, if so, what conditions are needed? If he and his mentor can sum up and give one.
