美国计划兴建的超导超级粒子对撞机是一个周长53英里的庞然大物,属当今世界十大科技项目之一。其中用于识别高能粒子的关键部件——高密度快闪烁玻璃,却是在美国衣阿华州立大学材料科学与工程系进行博士后研究的中国学者周万城所研制。 这是一项了不起的成就！对此,衣阿华州立大学的马丁教授称赞他的中国搭档是“一个在玻璃研究方面具有国际水平的科学家”。 “高密度快闪烁玻璃”在高能物理研究中具有非常重要的作用。这种玻璃之“特殊”,在于它的高密度和闪烁性,它能够挡住并吸收入射的粒子束(射线),然后将其能量转换成可见光。因此,摆在周万城面前的是一块难啃的硬骨头。
The United States plans to build a superconducting super-particle collider is a 53-mile perimeter monster, is one of the world’s top ten science and technology projects. One of the key components used to identify high-energy particles - high-density fast flashing glass, was developed by Zhou Wancheng, a Chinese scholar who conducted postdoctoral research at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Iowa State University in the United States. This is a remarkable achievement! In response, Professor Martin from Iowa State University praised his Chinese partner as “a scientist with international standards in glass research.” “High-density fast-flashing glass” plays a very important role in high-energy physics research. The glass is “special” due to its high density and sparkle, which blocks and absorbs incoming particle beams (rays) and converts its energy into visible light. Therefore, placed in front of Zhou Wancheng is a hard nut to crack the bones.
