Young talent
Nature is one of the world’s top science journals(杂志). Many scientists dream of publishing(发表) their papers in it. But it is really hard. One has to make a very important discovery.
However, Cao Yuan, a 24-year-old scientist from China, did it. He published two papers in Nature on May 6. Cao’s papers are about graphene(石墨烯)——the thinnest and strongest material(材料) in the world. Scientists first discovered it in 2004. Cao found that sometimes graphene can change. With it, scientists can find cheaper and easier ways to use electricity.
Now Cao is a doctoral student(博士生) studying at MIT. His professor(教授) said Cao isn’t afarid of failures(失败) in his work. “He just rolled up his sleeves(袖子) and went on working.”
