Excerpt: Wang Ganchang (Chinese: ; pinyin: Wáng Gànchng; Wade-Giles: Wang Kan-ch'ang) (May 28, 1907 - December 10, 1998) was a nuclear physicist from China. He was one of the initiators of China's researches in nuclear physics, cosmic rays and particle physics. Wang Ganchang figured among the top leaders, pioneers and scientists of the Chinese nuclear deterrent program. Member of the Chinese Academy of Science, and member of the Chinese Communist party. In 1930, Wang first proposed to use a cloud chamber to study a new type of high-energy rays induced by the bombardment of beryllium with particle, experiment conducted one year later by the English physicist James Chadwick, thus discovering a new type of particle, the neutron, allowing him to win the 1935 Nobel Prize in Physics. Wang first proposed the use of beta-capture to detect the neutrino in 1941. Fifteen years later Frederick Reines and Clyde Cowan employed his suggestion and detected the neutrino in 1956 winning forty years later the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physics. Wang also led a group to discover the anti-sigma minus hype...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=10942765 ... Read more

Kao CBE FRS FREng (traditional Chinese : ; simplified Chinese : ; pinyin : G o K n (Kao Kuen); born November 4, 1933) is a pioneer in the development and use of fiber optics in telecommunications . Kao, widely regarded as the " Father of Fiber Optics " or " Father of Fiber Optic Communications " , was awarded half of the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics for " groundbreaking achievements concerning the transmission of light in fibers for optical communication ". Biography Kao was born in Shanghai in 1933, but his ancestral home is in Jinshan , Jiangsu now part of Shanghai. He studied Chinese classics at home with his brother, under a tutor. He also studied English and French at an international school in Shanghai which was founded by a number of progressive Chinese educators including Cai Yuanpei . Kao's family moved to Hong Kong in 1948 where he completed his secondary education (advanced level ) at St. Joseph's College in 1952. He did his undergraduate studies in electrical engineering at Woolwich Polytechnic (now the University of Greenwich ), obtaining his Bachelor of Science degree issued by the University of London . He then pursued research and received his PhD degree in electrical engineering in 1965 from University College London (under Professor Harold Barlow ) as an external student while working at Standard Telecommunication Laboratories (STL... ...

Excerpt: Shing-Tung Yau (Chinese: ; born April 4, 1949) is a Chinese American mathematician working in differential geometry. He was born in Shantou, Guangdong Province, China into a family of scholars from Jiaoling, Guangdong Province. Yau has made lasting impacts on both physics and mathematics. Calabi-Yau manifolds are among the standard toolkit for string theorists today. He has been very active in the exciting interface between geometry and theoretical physics. His proof of the positive energy theorem in general relativity finally demonstratedsixty years after its discoverythat Einsteins theory is consistent and stable. His proof of the Calabi conjecture allowed physicistsusing Calabi-Yau compactificationto show that string theory is a viable candidate for a unified theory of nature. Yau was born in Shantou, Guangdong Province, China with an ancestry in Jiaoling (also in Guangdong) in a family ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=303137 ... Read more

Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Chen-Ning Franklin Yang (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Yáng Zhènníng) (born October 1, 1922) is a Chinese-American physicist who worked on statistical mechanics and particle physics. He, together with Tsung-dao Lee, received the 1957 Nobel prize in physics for their work on parity nonconservation of weak interaction. Yang naturalized as a United States citizen in 1964. Yang was born in Hefei, Anhui, China, his father Yang Ko-Chuen (simplified Chinese: ; pinyin: Yáng Wǔzhī) (1896-1973) was a mathematician and his mother Luó Mènghuà (罗孟华) was a housewife. Yang attended elementary school and high school in Beijing, and in the autumn of 1937 his family moved to Hefei after Japanese invaded China. In 1938 they moved to Kunming, Yunnan, where the National Southwestern Associated University was located. In the same year, as a second year student, Yang passed the entrance examination and studied at the National Southwestern Associated University. He received his bachelor's degree in 1942, the thesis being about the application of group theory to molecular spectra, under the supervision of Wu Ta-you (吴大猷) (1907-2000). He continued to study graduate courses there for two years under the supervision of Wang Zhuxi (王竹溪) (1911-1983), working on statistical mechanics. In 1944 he received his master's degree was awarded a scholarship known as the Boxer Indemnity (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Gēngzǐ péikuǎn), a scholarship set up by the United States government using the funds raised from the money China was forced to pay out following the Boxer Rebellion. He was delayed for one year, during which time he taught in a middle school as a teacher and studied field theory. From 1946...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more
