Examples of scientists' success

Scientists are all successful in people's eyes. Do you know some examples of them? I have carefully collected and sorted out the successful cases of scientists for you. Let's have a look.

Examples of successful scientists 1: Colin? Angel scientists are also naughty.

? Let the elderly enjoy the caring care of robots. ? Is this Colin? Angel's dream. As the global CEO of iRobot, Colin? Angel is using actions to prove the feasibility of this dream.

At iRobot's new product launch conference, Colin? What do angels bring to people? Shocked? : the new iRobot Roomba series just launched? 880 vacuum robot subverts the habit of cleaning the ground with bristle brush head, which has been maintained for nearly a hundred years. ? Choosing this industry is destined to create subversive things and change people's lifestyles. ? In Colin? In angel's view, studying robots is definitely a very? Is it cool? Things.

However,? Subversion? It's easier said than done. Can iRobot's innovative genes create miracles in the field of robotics? Colin? Angel is full of confidence in this. The scientist who devoted his life to robot research led the world's top robotics experts to develop a series of practical military robots. At present, more than 5,000 iRobot military robots are serving in the global security and defense departments to safeguard human security.

Early development stage of iRobot, Colin? Angel and his team once designed a controllable pathfinder for NASA to help the American rover "sojourner" successfully land on Mars in 1997. Therefore, they won the team achievement award awarded by NASA, and his name was also engraved on the Spirit of the Rover exhibited by NASA.

Colin? Angel firmly believes that in today's increasingly mature artificial intelligence, machine learning and other technologies, robots will go deep into people's lives in the future, and iRobot will create these miracles.

Give life to robots from scientists to entrepreneurs.

? The dream of robots can be traced back to college. At that time, when it came to robots, everyone found it difficult and far from people's lives. ? At MIT, Colin? Angel focuses on the research of robots. He really set foot in this field by developing an artificial intelligence bionic robot that imitates insects.

? Its efficiency is 654.38+ million times higher than that supported by large computers at that time. ? Colin? Angel introduced that with the central control software system, this hexapod robot seems to be endowed with? Life? Similarly, its commercial value began to appear from that moment.

School? The first novel? It was quickly recognized by Sony. Until today, a product called Sony electronic dog is based on? Insect robot? Made from a prototype. Now, Colin? Anger's work has been exhibited in the American Aviation Museum as a landmark product in the history of robot development.

Although the research and development of robots related to space exploration, as the first project after the establishment of iRobot, made iRobot famous, but? There is no profit in this project. The best case is to make ends meet. Colin? Angel believes that the scope of the project is too narrow, and a single business can only allow the team to accumulate some experience in this field, but it can't reap sustained profits.

? At that time, we decided to set up a company focusing on the production of practical robots. ? Colin? Angel hasn't forgotten his dream.

So there was a cooperation between iRobot and Johnson Company of the United States, which is a company that produces chemical raw materials, and iRobot developed a large-scale cleaning robot for it as needed. This can be said to be a milestone turning point of iRobot, which laid a good foundation for iRobot to expand its territory in the field of clean robots in the future.

Meet people and become an excellent admiral, and join our help.

? It is very difficult to make money from the robot business. ? Colin? From the moment Angel set foot on this land, he felt that he was struggling. No matter what project you try, you need high-tech elites to start from scratch together. The early exploration and testing of water, despite twists and turns, made Colin? Angel had an unexpected harvest: how did a person who only knew technology and immersed himself in making products learn? Employing people? .

IRobot's team is full of talents, and even Admiral Samsung of the US Navy. The general once managed an army of 32,000 men. At first, iRobot was just their customer, but in frequent business contacts and exchanges, the general began to have a strong interest in the research and development of iRobot, and finally joined the team. ? We were all surprised, and his arrival assured me to hand over all the robot affairs in the security field to him. ? Colin? Angel said.

It is hard to imagine that a scientist will change from big technology to manager role so quickly and the effect will be amazing. Maybe because I'm a scientist, Colin? Angel often does this when he manages scientists? Empathy? . ? I am a scientist myself, and I know that letting them do what they like will stimulate their research potential. Decentralized management? Is that Colin? Angel's trump card, he often makes the core members of the team responsible for themselves.

Actually, these are all in the process of working together, Colin? Observation and summary of anger. ? When we finish a project, you will find many people who are better than you, and let them develop in their familiar fields, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort. ? Colin? Angel said.

Scientists who change their lives are also naughty.

IRobot continues to grow, Colin? During the growth of iRobot, Angel also showed his foresight and excellent management ability in the robot industry.

It was not until iRobot cooperated with Hasbro that scientists were found to be naughty. Hasbro hopes to develop toy robots, and the cooperation with iRobot is to hope that this team can make toys? Life? .

Hasbro is called? My real child? Our doll products are the fruit of cooperation between both parties. ? You can see the doll's emotions and feelings, as well as its response to the surrounding environment. ? Colin? Angel made faces at a doll like a child.

Cooperation with toy companies, let Colin? Angel came into contact with local manufacturers in China for the first time and was closer to consumers. This makes Colin. Angel is more convinced of his direction. With his previous research and accumulation in the field of cleaning, he decisively chose the development direction of household cleaning robots and got the support of capital.

This business began to make a profit in 2002, and in the following 12 years, the income growth never decreased. In Colin? In Anger's view, if the essence of the fourth industrial revolution is the reconstruction of traditional productive forces by science and technology, then the first robot revolution will be the most likely to subvert production and life in this process, and iRobot must be the subversive of the next era.

Successful examples of scientists Part II: A gifted boy, building a nuclear reactor in the garage.

10 years old, making bombs; /kloc-at the age of 0/4, he built a nuclear fusion reactor and became the youngest person in the world to complete the feat of nuclear fusion; 20 13 February 28th 19-year-old Taylor? Wilson boarded the platform of the Technology, Entertainment and Design Conference (TED Conference for short) and introduced the small nuclear fission reactor he designed to the world's top scientists and entrepreneurs sitting under the stage. The reactor is low in cost, using radioactive materials from abandoned nuclear weapons as raw materials, and can continuously supply energy for 30 years, generating 50 MW to 100 MW of electricity, which is enough to provide clean energy for 654.38+million households. Best of all, because it is stored underground and the radiation concentration is extremely low, this simple reactor has little impact on human health and will not be abused by terrorists.

Hearing this speech, I believe no one will regard this talented boy as just a nerd with super high IQ. Wilson is the youngest nuclear expert in the world. His ideal is to change the world.

The birthday present is a crane.

Wilson 1994 was born in Texas, Arkansas. His father Kenneth was a football player and later worked in a company. His mother Tiffany is a yoga teacher. On his fifth birthday, Wilson told his parents that he wanted a crane as a birthday present. And when the adults dragged him to the toy store, he stamped his foot and shouted, No, I want it for real! ? Many parents may laugh it off, but Kenneth turned to a friend who works in a construction company for help. So, on Wilson's birthday, a 6-ton crane stopped at his door. Wilson got up excitedly, sat on the driver's lap and learned to manipulate the monster, grinning.

10 years old, Wilson got a periodic table from somewhere. In less than a week, he not only remembered all the elements, but also clearly remembered their mass and melting point. One day, wearing a white coat and holding a medical scalpel in one hand, Wilson solemnly told his family that he would take some blood from everyone's fingers and do it in the garage? Gene comparison experiment? As a result, everyone obediently put out their fingers and let him play. On another occasion, Wilson summoned his family to the backyard. Unexpectedly, he took out a medicine bottle containing sugar and potassium nitrate, lit the fuse at the bottom of the bottle, and then suddenly exploded. Neighbors ran out in panic and found a small black smoke coming from Wilson's backyard.

Far from satisfying Wilson with a small explosion, he became fascinated with nuclear reactors again. To celebrate his 1 1 birthday, grandma took him to the bookstore to buy books. Wilson chose a book about making nuclear reactors. He was completely fascinated by the book, read it over and over again, and often read some chapters aloud. ? I'm sure I can build a nuclear reactor! ?

By the time Wilson 12 was old, there was nothing the school could teach him. He can only sit in the classroom and do nothing every day. So, his parents promised to let him collect some common radioactive substances to prepare for the school science and technology competition. To this end, my father Kenneth borrowed a Geiger counter to measure radioactive substances and took Wilson to various antique shops to search for goods on weekends. Wilson discovered alarm clocks, lampshades and porcelain with radioactive substances; He also dragged his parents to the desert in New Mexico to look for uranium deposits, and then brought them back to his garage case by case for research.

The child who is interested in radioactive substances makes his parents a little worried. Fortunately, a professional told them that the concentration of these radioactive substances was extremely low and would not endanger Wilson's health.

Whenever someone can't stand it and warns Kenneth to take good care of Wilson, the father always sighs: In Wilson's eyes, there is no such thing? Can't? This word. ?

Build a nuclear weapon detector with hundreds of dollars.

While Wilson was busy studying radioactive substances, his grandmother suffered from cancer and often needed radiotherapy. Wilson found that isotopes used to diagnose and treat cancer are expensive, so many patients can't get treatment. ? If we can find a cheaper way to obtain these isotopes, we may save more patients. ? One day, when he was watching the sun, suddenly a light flashed. The sun glows and heats up through nuclear fusion. If I can make nuclear fusion, can't I get high-energy neutrons to get isotopes?

But Wilson is just a high school student. What can he do without instruments and laboratories? Wilson tried to build his own nuclear reactor in his garage. It was then that his parents learned that Nevada State University in Reno could provide top students in high school with the instruments and laboratories needed for research. So Wilson visited a physics professor at the school. When he heard that a nuclear fusion reactor was going to be built, the professor shouted: You are only 13 years old, and you want to play with tens of millions of volts and deadly X-rays.

However, Wilson finally got the support of physicist Fanov. Wilson looks for materials and solves technical problems in Fanov's laboratory every afternoon. He also worked hard to teach himself more than 20 fields such as chemistry, engineering and plasma physics. Slowly, he began to try to assemble the nuclear reactor. On 14 birthday, everything was ready. He looked intently, injected deuterium into the reactor, and then applied tens of thousands of volts of high voltage. He succeeded. Wilson became the third1person in the world to complete the nuclear fusion reaction, and he was the youngest.

However, this is only the first step for Wilson to realize his ideal. What can nuclear fusion do? One day, he saw a report that tens of thousands of containers are transported into the United States every day, and it is impossible for detectors to detect whether there are nuclear weapons in the boxes one by one. Moreover, the helium -3 element needed by these detectors is very expensive. ? Why not use neutrons produced by nuclear fusion to detect nuclear weapons? In the next few weeks, he conceived a rapid detection device: if a nuclear weapon is hidden in the container, neutrons produced by nuclear fusion will force the atoms in the weapon to split, thus releasing gamma rays or nitrogen, and the detector will collect signals and give an alarm. The nuclear weapon detector he built with hundreds of dollars is more sensitive than the one with hundreds of thousands of dollars in customs.

In 2008, Wilson took this nuclear detector to participate in the world's highest science exhibition for middle school students in the Intel International Science and Engineering Grand Prix. When Paul, CEO of Intel, heard that a child of 14 years old had built a nuclear reactor, he went straight to Wilson and talked with him for 20 minutes. Then Paul left with an incredible expression. I only have one thought in my mind. I'm glad this child belongs to our country! ? Wilson undoubtedly won the grand prize. In the next two years, he won nine awards, with a total prize of $654.38 million (about RMB 620,000). In 20 12, Wilson was invited to participate in the science and technology exhibition held at the White House, and introduced his detector to President Obama, which became the object of media coverage.

Enthusiasm is the key

Thin Wilson, with fluffy hair and neat bangs, looks very clever. Most of the time, he searched for radioactive substances in the wild, or immersed himself in experiments. ? Some people don't want to study science, because they think that only nerds can do this, and science is not cool at all. In fact, science is cooler than anything. Only science can change the world and the future. ? Being keen on science didn't affect Wilson's social life. On the contrary, it made him a celebrity.

? Sometimes I show girls around the lab. It's useful when I say it? Do you want to see my nuclear reactor? Which girl would refuse! ? Usually, Wilson likes to play football with friends, and his easygoing personality has become the object of jokes. Never mind Wilson, that guy has a nuclear reactor! ? Wilson laughed it off.

Wilson graduated from high school last May, but he didn't plan to go to college. He wants to set up a company to obtain clean energy through nuclear fission reactors, and plans to bring products to the market within five years. He is optimistic that this invention can not only bring cheap clean energy to developing countries, but also be used in space projects.

Wilson is a clever and expressive person? Comprehensive talents? . Once, the US Department of Homeland Security invited him to attend a seminar to see if his design could be used against terrorism. Officials didn't expect much from the boy, but Wilson came prepared. He first shook hands with everyone politely, and then unexpectedly said, you all know that this building has radiation, right? Wilson's Geiger counter keeps sending out? Beep? This voice, which originally contained radiation in the granite for building decoration, was very harmless, but it made these officials regard him with special respect. ? They finally began to take me seriously and stopped treating me like a child. ? Wilson said proudly.

Although many people think he is too young and inexperienced, Wilson thinks young people can change the world. ? We are more willing to try because we are not exposed to the bureaucracy and restrictions in the field of science. I think in a sense, we can do better! ?

Talking about the biggest reason for his success, Wilson said: Maybe my brain is good, but my enthusiasm is the key. People who can really change the world, such as Jobs, have always been enthusiastic and motivated because of their unique understanding of the world. ?

Examples of scientists' success Part III: A scientific madman who drinks bacteria and seeks truth, Barry? Grouped

Without him in this world, the international medical community will be in the paradox of the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer for a long time! Without him, tens of thousands of patients with peptic ulcer will suffer from this painful chronic disease for a long time! He is the winner of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine who benefited millions of people, and the Australian scientist Barry, who was elected as a foreign academician of China Academy of Engineering on 201/kloc-0? Marshall. Marshall, with his excellent observation, extraordinary courage and belief, lit up the light of the road to cure peptic ulcer.

Have fun. Can you play? Know everything, sir?

1951September 30th Barry? Marshall was born in Karguli, a city in Western Australia. My father is a railway worker and my mother is a nurse. Marshall was a confident boy since he was a child. When he was only three years old, he acted as if he knew everything. At school, if you don't understand the teacher's class, he will think: This is a terrible teacher, and he can't speak well at all. ?

Meanwhile, Marshall was always in his mother's eyes? Problem children? . Once, he opened one of his grandmother's watches with a screwdriver and tried to put all the parts back. Finally? Extra? Of course, several parts of the watch are scrapped. The most outrageous thing is that he stole a lot of chemicals and made a super fireworks with gunpowder wrapped in newspapers. The violent explosion after the ignition scared the neighbors to flee the house to find out. As a result, scraps of paper were not only scattered all over the room, but also burned his little face, hair and eyebrows.

But this experience did not hinder his curiosity to explore the unknown world. As a teenager, he was interested in engineering, chemistry, physics and biology. Because things at home are always dismantled, students will say, "Please come here, Marshall!" " When they start to do experiments at school, even when the experiments can't be carried out or have problems in medical classes. He only needs to look at it for a few seconds, and he will tell them: Oh, you should turn this button. ? Or? This place is not well connected. ?

1968, when he graduated from high school, his classmates all thought that Marshall should choose science and engineering as his further study direction and become an engineer in the future. But he chose to go to medical school, because he thought that studying medicine could not only learn scientific knowledge, engage in medical research, but also make more interesting people.

There are many medical college exams, and the elimination rate is high. When he first entered school, there were about 100 students in the class, but after one school year, there were only 90 people in the classroom. If you don't want to be eliminated, you can only adopt two strategies: first, you must be the best in your class, and you will definitely not be eliminated, but this is a hard road; There is also a relatively easy way, that is, let the score exceed 10 people, and that will do. Marshall chose the latter, so his grades in school are not top-notch, and he has always been in a safe range. 1974 obtained a bachelor's degree in medicine from the University of Western Australia.

Drink helicobacter pylori? Science madman?

198 1 year, Marshall met Robin when he was a graduate student in internal medicine at Royal Perth Hospital. Warren is a pathologist. He will be his partner and will be of great help to him in the future. They studied 100 patients with gastric diseases who underwent gastroscopy and biopsy, and finally proved that the existence of Helicobacter pylori was indeed related to gastritis. In addition, they also found that this bacterium still exists in the gastric mucosa of all patients with duodenal ulcer, most patients with gastric ulcer and about half of patients with gastric cancer. A large number of studies show that more than 90% of duodenal ulcers and about 80% of gastric ulcers are caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. 1982, they extracted the initial culture of Helicobacter pylori and developed the hypothesis that gastric ulcer and gastric cancer were caused by Helicobacter pylori. That year, Marshall was only 3 1 year old.

Previously, the mainstream theory believed that gastric ulcer was mainly caused by stress, irritating food and hyperacidity. Because gastric ulcer can lead to bleeding, people with this history dare not travel long distances. Otherwise, if gastric bleeding is not treated in time, it may kill you within 24 hours. They brought it up? Bacteria cause gastric ulcer? The statement directly challenged the prevailing view at that time? Peptic ulcer is caused by emotional stress and stomach acid and can only be treated with repeated courses of antacids? . Barry. Marshall took the initiative to ask medical scientists to challenge him and prove him wrong. Soon, many experiments against him in the United States and other countries proved his hypothesis correct. It was followed by a long period of cross-examination and verification. The first paper published by him and his partner Warren in The Lancet was cited 16 times in 1984, 283 times in 1988 and 762 times in 1993. Up to 1992, at least three groups of large-scale clinical trials have been conducted worldwide. On this basis, the National Institutes of Health held a meeting in 1994, and basically agreed that Helicobacter pylori is the chief culprit of gastric ulcer. At this time, it was just 10 years since they first published their paper in The Lancet magazine. Since then, this epoch-making hypothesis has passed the test of 1 1 year, Barry? Marshall finally won the Nobel Prize in 2005.

Among them, Marshall's story of trying bacteria has always been talked about by the outside world. When the hypothesis of Helicobacter pylori was first put forward, it was laughed at by scientists and doctors. They don't believe that there will be bacteria living in very acidic stomachs. Due to the failure of animal experiments and the lack of human subjects, Marshall swallowed a large amount of culture solution containing Helicobacter pylori one day in 1984, trying to make himself suffer from gastric ulcer. Five days later, cold sweat, eating difficulties, vomiting, bad breath and other symptoms followed. It was not until 10 days later that Marshall discovered that his gastric mucosa was really covered with this? Curved bacteria? White blood cells passing through the stomach wall are trying to eat and kill those Helicobacter pylori, which is the cause of gastric ulcer. He was ecstatic about this, but he couldn't stand his wife's persuasion, so he took antibiotics and really declared war on inflammation. ? Marshall is crazy! ? When people exclaim this. Crazy behavior? At the same time, it is gradually recognized that Helicobacter pylori is the chief culprit leading to peptic ulcer.

Tireless in science? Little boy?

The discovery of Helicobacter pylori and its function corrected people's wrong understanding of the pathogenesis of gastritis and peptic ulcer, which was popular for many years at that time, and was hailed as a landmark revolution in the field of gastroenterology research. Due to the discovery of Marshall and his partner Warren, ulcer disease has changed from a chronic disease that is difficult to cure and recurrent to a disease that can be cured by short-term treatment with antibiotics and acid inhibitors, which greatly improves the opportunities of patients with gastric ulcer and contributes to improving the quality of human life. This discovery also inspires people to study the relationship between microorganisms and other chronic inflammatory diseases. Although these studies have not yet reached a clear conclusion, as the Nobel Prize jury said, the discovery of Helicobacter pylori has deepened human understanding of the relationship between chronic infection, inflammation and cancer. ?

Marshall's wife often commented that he acted like a? Little boy? To this end, he not only gladly accepted, but also enjoyed it. He said meaningfully:? In fact, the process of scientific exploration is particularly like a detective novel. You can see the crime scene, and then you say what happened here, and then you start looking for clues. I think this may be a clue. Let's find out where this clue comes from and where that clue comes from, so we take Helicobacter pylori as the clue. There were gastric ulcers and Helicobacter pylori, so we established contact and pieced together the answers to the puzzle bit by bit. If you have a little boy's personality, then you will be interested in something unusual, or do something different from most people, instead of just continuing other people's work. ?

In addition, he has repeatedly warned young students who are interested in scientific research: don't be afraid of being rejected. Everyone may be rejected, but don't be afraid of others' rejection. ? He explained this truth with his own personal experience, because he also had the experience of being rejected by others in the early stage of his research. It was in 1983 that he submitted a paper on Helicobacter pylori to an academic forum of the University of Western Australia. At that time, the jury wanted to select 56 papers from 67 papers, but his paper was rejected. But he had the foresight to hide the rejection letter. When he won the Nobel Prize in 2005, the letter of early rejection was rejected by the unyielding Barry. Marshall found it and hung it on the wall of his office at the University of Western Australia.

Today, Marshall, who is over 60 years old, is still engaged in vaccine research related to Helicobacter pylori, and he is determined to study food-borne vaccines. In today's world, there has been no major breakthrough in vaccine technology for 50 years. He firmly believes that in the future, food-borne vaccines through cell culture will be the general direction. Marshall is like a never-ending runner. The happiness of scientific research will not stop because of the passage of time. He will never stop running for the sake of human health.
