In the history of Chinese science, there is an outstanding scientist who is known as the "father of China's atomic energy". He not only made outstanding achievements in the field of atomic energy, but also made indelible contributions to China's scientific and technological development and national defense construction. This article will introduce this great scientist in detail - Qian Sanqiang.
Qian Sanqiang, formerly known as Qian Bingqiong, is a Chinese nuclear physicist, the founder of China's atomic energy science, the winner of the "Two Bombs and One Satellite" Meritorious Service Medal, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a researcher and former director of the Institute of Atomic Energy of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 1932, Qian Sanqiang graduated from the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University. In 1936, he went to the Curie Laboratory and the Institute of Radium Science of the University of Paris in France to engage in nuclear physics research and obtained a doctorate. In 1937, he went to work at the Institute of Physics of the Peking Research Institute. In 1946, he became a researcher and research supervisor at the French National Center for Scientific Research, and a director of the French Physical Society. Since 1948, he has been a professor in the Department of Physics of Tsinghua University. In the spring of 1950, he served as deputy director and researcher of the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He joined the Communist Party of China in 1951. He made outstanding contributions to the establishment and development of China's atomic energy science undertakings, to the development of the "two bombs," and to the revitalization of national defense science and technology, and was hailed as China's "father of atomic energy science."
Qian Sanqiang's research and contributions in the field of atomic energy are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
First of all, Qian Sanqiang has made important achievements in the field of nuclear physics. He made important contributions to the development of nuclear physics through in-depth research on the structure and properties of atomic nuclei and many innovative theories and experimental methods.
Secondly, Qian Sanqiang led the development of China's first atomic and hydrogen bombs. He led the team to overcome many difficulties, overcome a series of key technical problems, and finally successfully developed China's own atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, laying a solid foundation for China's national defense construction.
In addition, Qian Sanqiang has also actively promoted the development of China's nuclear energy industry. He advocated the peaceful use of nuclear energy and promoted the application of nuclear energy technology in the civilian field, making important contributions to the prosperity and development of China's nuclear energy industry.
Summary: As the founder and pioneer of China's atomic energy industry, Qian Sanqiang has not only made outstanding contributions to China's scientific and technological development and national defense construction, but also made important contributions to the peaceful use of nuclear energy and the promotion of human scientific and technological progress around the world. His spirit, character and achievements will forever be engraved in the history of Chinese science, inspiring generations of scientists to strive for the prosperity and strength of the motherland.
