The Future Science Prize, known as the “Nobel Prize of China”, announced the list of winners for 2020.
On the morning of September 6, a reporter for the Daily Business News (WeChat ID: nbdnews) learned at the 2020 Future Science Awards press conference that this year, Zhang Tingdong and Wang Zhenyi discovered that arsenic trioxide and trans retinoic acid have an effect on acute promyelocytic leukemia. It won the “Life Sciences Award” for its therapeutic effects.
Lu Ke won the “Materials Science Award” for his pioneering discovery and use of twin nanostructure and gradient nanostructure to achieve the high strength, high toughness and high conductivity of metallic copper.
Peng Shige won the “Prize in Mathematics and Computer Science” for his pioneering contributions to the theory of backward stochastic differential equations, the nonlinear Feynman-Kac formula, and the theory of nonlinear mathematical expectation.
The one-time prize of the Future Science Award is $ 1 million (approximately RMB 7 million).At the press conference, He Chuan, Rotating Chairman of the Future Science Award Scientific Committee, said: “From January to April this year, we have invited more than 2,000 experts from all fields of society to nominate candidates, including several Nobel Prize winners, more than 100 academics from various countries, and ten various university presidents and senior experts have been actively involved in this year’s nomination. It can be said that the Future Science Award has received the active participation and support of scientists from around the world. “
The founder of the therapy “Arsenic for the treatment of leukemia” wins the “Award for life sciences”
The Future Science “Life Science Award” was awarded to Professor Zhang Tingdong of the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University and Professor Wang Zhenyi of Shanghai Jiaotong University.
In the process of human exploration of cancer treatment, Zhang Tingdong and Wang Zhenyi made decisive contributions to the cure of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). APL used to be one of the most dangerous and deadly leukemias. The work of Zhang Tingdong and Wang Zhenyi made the APL cure rate reach 90%.
For thousands of years, arsenic trioxide (ATO, commonly known as arsenic) has been tested in many different diseases, but its efficacy has not been reliable, repeatable, and generally recognized. In the 1970s, the study by Zhang Tingdong and his colleagues made it clear that ATO can treat APL for the first time.
In the 1980s, Wang Zhenyi and his colleagues demonstrated for the first time that all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) has a significant therapeutic effect on APL in patients. The work of Zhang Tingdong and Wang Zhenyi has been verified and promoted internationally, making ATO and ATRA the standard drugs for the treatment of APL in the world today, saving the lives of many patients.
Lu Ke, Vice Governor of Liaoning Province, Won the “Materials Science Award”
This year’s Future Science Award was awarded to Lu Ke, an academic at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, for his pioneering discoveries and the use of twin nanostructures and gradient nanostructures to achieve high strength, high toughness and high conductivity of metallic copper. .
Improving the strength of metallic materials has always been one of the fundamental scientific issues in the field of materials physics. Generally, the reinforcement of the materials is achieved by introducing various defects to hinder the movement of the dislocations, but when the resistance of the material is increased, plasticity and conductivity will be lost, which has led to the resistance and plasticity of the material (or conductivity) that They have not been resolved for a long time in the field of materials. The inverted relationship. How to overcome this contradiction has become a major scientific problem in the field of international materials for decades.
Lu Ke and his research team found that two new nanostructures can increase the strength of copper metallic materials without losing their good plasticity and electrical conductivity, and they achieved a breakthrough in the principle of strengthening metallic material.
The Daily Economic News (WeChat ID: nbdnews) reporter also noted that in 2003, 37-year-old Lu Ke became the youngest member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences elected after the reform and opening. The information also shows thatSince October 2018, Lu Ke has served as deputy governor of Liaoning Province.
According to public information, Lu Ke, born in 1965, is an academic at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a researcher at the Metal Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a director of the Shenyang National Research Center for Materials Science. Furthermore, Lu Ke is also the vice chairman of the Central Committee of the Jiu San Society. He was elected deputy governor of Liaoning Province in October 2018. He is now responsible for science and technology, health, sports and other aspects.
Xinhua News Agency published an article in March 2018 to introduce Lu Ke: He went to university at the age of 16, became a doctoral tutor at the Metal Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to the age 30, he was elected as the youngest academic of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the age of 38, and recently he was elected as a foreign academic of the American Academy of Engineering … This is Lu Ke.The professional scientist is his self-positioning.
The Xinhua News Agency article features: With roots in the northeast, Lu Ke pays great attention to revitalization and local development: “For Liaoning, two-thirds of the province’s industrial added value comes from the three major manufacturing industries of equipment, metallurgy and chemical industries that are closely related to materials. We must promote originality, complement the foundation, start from the complete scientific and technological base, start from the root, and strive to develop the Shenyang National Research Center in Science of Materials in a world-class high-level research platform. “
Despite his early fame, Lu Ke still insists on front-line research and teaching. Lu Ke believes that scientific inquiry is an interest-driven learning process, an art of excellence and perfection, and ideals are an important driving force for scientific inquiry. Over the years, he will provide all graduates with a book titled “Doctors Are Not Enough” to warn students that there is still a long way to go from Ph.D. to scientist.
According to a report in People magazine, Lu Ke published more than a dozen articles in international academic journals while studying for his Ph.D. and reviewed the amorphous Ni-P alloy crystal determined by British scientist Scott and others who have been cited during 10 years. She also proposed a new crystallization mechanism for amorphous metals, which experts call “a good article on the crystallization of amorphous metals in the last decade.”
Lu Ke said on the press conference phone connection that he was suddenly surprised by the award and thanked the jury for approving his work. Materials science is a very old topic, and the award is a great encouragement to the topic and encourages you to keep doing more and better work on this topic.
He said that mankind has used metallic materials for thousands of years and, in fact, it is increasingly difficult to improve performance. By manufacturing nanoscale metallic materials, the properties of metallic materials have been greatly improved, showing new performance and radiating new vitality.
“Mathematics and Informatics Award” announced
The Future Science Prize 2020 “Mathematics and Computer Science Prize” was awarded to Shandong University professor Peng Shige for his pioneering contributions in the theory of backward stochastic differential equations, the nonlinear Feynman-Kac formula and the theory of nonlinear mathematical expectation.
Peng Shige reportedly developed the theory of nonlinear mathematical expectation, which is essentially different from traditional linear mathematical expectation, but similar mathematical theories can still be established. This has great application value for the definition and quantification of risk.
At the press conference, everyone also had a live chat with Peng Shige. He said he is very happy to receive this award, which will help drive the development of science in the future. I am committed to the cross study of mathematics and other sciences, the advancement of other sciences will promote the development of mathematics and vice versa. In connection with this, Peng Shige also spoke about this huge bonus, and hopes to use it to further the development of his research field.
