How many famous overseas Chinese are there in our country? Who knows? Who else besides Tan Kah Kee?

A Chinese scientist who won the "Nobel Prize"

Li Zhengdao, a physicist, was born in 1926 in Suzhou. Received a doctorate from the University of Chicago in 1949. He is currently a professor at Columbia University and an academician of the National Academy of Sciences. In 1957, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics and the Einstein Prize for cooperating with Yang Zhenning to propose the argument of "parity non-conservation under weak interaction". In June 1994, he was appointed as a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Yang Zhenning, a theoretical physicist, was born in Hefei, Anhui Province in September 1922. He graduated from Southwest Associated University in 1942, went to the United States for further study in 1945, and received a doctorate from the University of Chicago in 1948. In 1956, together with Li Zhengdao, he proposed a theory that the rathering term may not be conserved under weak interactions. This was first confirmed by experiments by physicist Wu Jianxiong (a native of Taicang, Jiangsu Province, and president of the American Physical Society). In 1957, he won the Nobel Prize for this. Physics Prize. He is currently a member of the Academic Committee of the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Ding Zhaozhong, a physicist, was born in the United States in January 1936 and returned to China three months later. In 1956, he went to the University of Michigan in the United States to study physics and mathematics and received a doctorate. In 1974, a long-lived neutral particle with a mass about three times that of a proton was discovered, named the J particle. Due to this outstanding contribution, he and Richter shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1976.

Li Yuanzhe was born in Hsinchu, Taiwan Province in November 1936. He graduated from the Department of Chemistry of National Taiwan University in 1959. In 1979, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences. Won the 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Dewen Chu was born in the United States in February 1948, and his ancestral home is Taicang, Jiangsu. He graduated from the University of Rochester in the United States in 1970 and received a doctorate in philosophy from the University of California, Berkeley in 1976. In 1993, he was elected as an academician of the National Academy of Sciences. Since 1987, he has been a professor at Stanford University in the United States. He has long been engaged in research in atomic physics and laser science, and won the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics. On June 5, 1998, he was elected as a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Cui Qi was born in Henan in 1939. He entered Hong Kong Pui Ching Secondary School in 1952. After graduation, he attended Clementi Secondary School for one year of preparatory classes. In 1958, he immigrated to Illinois, the United States. , entered college at Augustana College, and obtained a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Chicago in 1967. In 1968, he worked in electronics research for the Bell Institute in Murray, New Mexico.

Taught at Princeton University in 1982. Together with two other scientists, he discovered that electrons react together under strong magnetic fields and extremely low temperatures, and then produce new "quasi-particles" that can carry electric charges, forming a "quantum fluid". Fluid)

They both won the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physics.
