Madame Curie's composition 1 There are many celebrities in the field of science from ancient times to the present, but I admire Madame Curie the most.
The reason why I admire her is that she has the lofty spirit of devoting herself to the scientific cause and the personality charm of being indifferent to fame and fortune. In order to extract pure radium, Madame Curie got a ton of industrial waste residue that may contain class, set up a pot in the yard, melted it one by one, and then sent it to the laboratory for dissolution and precipitation analysis. The so-called laboratory is the broken shed where the bodies used to be parked. Madame Curie stirred the slag in the pot in the smoky fire all day, leaving a little burn mark on her hands. After three years and nine months, she finally extracted 0 from the slag. 1 gram radium, which emits a slight blue fluorescence in the broken wood shed. This beautiful blue fluorescence was bought with the life and faith of a beautiful woman! Madame Curie won an award, 16 medals and 107 honorary titles, including two nobel prizes. He can enjoy any reward or honor, but she treats fame and fortune like dirt. She gave the prizes for scientific research and war to France, and gave those medals to her little daughter as toys.
Madame Curie's character of devoting herself to science and treating fame and fortune like dirt is worth learning from each of us.
Madame Curie's Composition One early winter 70 years ago, Mr. Shih-Yuan Sze, the founder of China's nuclear physics, became a student of Madame Curie of Paris University. Madame Curie is the director of the Radium Institute. She tried again and again to make Shih-Yuan Sze understand that what he did was an interesting but life-threatening job.
When Shih-Yuan Sze is doing experiments, she often stands by and reminds him repeatedly what he must pay attention to: don't touch the radioactive source with your hands, or your fingers will be burned; When approaching a radioactive source, cover your body with a lead shield and hold your breath to prevent radioactive gas from being inhaled. There is a young man in France who is very strong and has made progress in his work. However, because he didn't pay attention to safety matters, he inhaled a considerable dose of radon and suffered from acute pneumonia. After many rescues, he died unfortunately. This caused a sensation in the scientific community in Paris. At one time, no French youth dared to work in the Radium Institute.
Shih-Yuan Sze's experimental project is exactly what the French youth didn't finish. Shih-Yuan Sze was a good swimmer when he was studying in Tsinghua University, so it was not difficult to hold his breath and take precautions. During his four years in Radium Research Institute, due to the constant guidance of Madame Curie, his body did not suffer any damage.
At that time, it was not easy to publish scientific research papers in French journals such as Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Yearbook of Physics. First of all, it must be recommended by an academician of the National Academy of Sciences. Under the guidance and recommendation of Madame Curie, Shih-Yuan Sze's research articles were published in these two journals.
During the period of 1932- 1933, Shih-Yuan Sze successfully completed the nuclear spectrum determination of actinide C. At that time, only Madame Curie's research institute could complete this experiment, and Shih-Yuan Sze was the first person to complete this experiment.
1933, Shih-Yuan Sze received his doctorate. The day after the thesis defense, Madame Curie held a simple reception for him. Madame Curie used her smile to guide the young man from China. Maybe it is eager to return, maybe it is because he is too young. At that time, Shih-Yuan Sze, who was extremely excited, didn't notice the wetness in Madame Curie's eyes and the faint sadness on her face.
A year later, Madame Curie passed away. Shih-Yuan Sze didn't expect that saying goodbye to Paris would become a permanent strategy.
