The Lonely Traveler in the Void: the Great Mathematician Alexander Grothendieck Abstract: The French mathematician Alexander Grothendieck is unanimously regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians in the 20 th century. He was born in a humble family, and relied on self-study to make the tremendous contribution in the field of Functional Analysis and Algebraic Geometry. Since 40 years old Grothendieck started to conduct the anti-war activities, gradually gave up his study and finally got isolated from academic community. This paper is intended to reveal the correlation between sciences and society by introducing the life, mathematical achievements and influence of Grothendieck.Issue:Volume 39, lssue 5, September 2017Page: 151-157

The Great and Mysterious Mathematician Grigory Perelman Abstract: The Russian mathematician Grigory Perelman is unanimously regarded as one of the greatest contemporary mathematicians. He was born in a Russian Jewish family, worked in the Russian and American institutes, and became isolated from the mainstream academia after 1995. Perelman did his independent research under very harsh conditions, and spent 8 years before solving the Poincaré conjecture. Afterwards, Perelman rejected the Fields Medal and Millennium Prize, and ultimately quit academia. This paper is intended to reveal the complicated correlation between academic mechanism, society and scientists by introducing the unique life of Perelman.Issue:Volume 40, lssue 8, August 2018Page: 131-139

Shuji Nakamura, the Father of the Blue LED: The Great Victory of a Humble Man Abstract: Shuji Nakamura is unanimously regarded as one of the greatest contemporary experts in the field of electronic engineering. He was born in a humble Japanese rural family, and worked in Nichia Corporation after attaining his master's degree. Shuji Nakamura did his independent research under very harsh conditions, and spent 6 years successfully solving the problems occurred in the invention and industrialization of the blue LED. Afterwards, he broke up with Nichia Corporation, moved to the US, became a professor at the University of California and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2014. This paper is intended to reveal the complicated correlation between the academic mechanism, society and scientists through the prism of the unique and rich life of Shuji Nakamura.Issue:Volume 41, lssue 6, June 2019Page: 118-126

In Memory of the Great Chinese American Scientist: Shou-Cheng Zhang Abstract: The Chinese American scientist Shou-Cheng Zhang is unanimously regarded as one of the greatest contemporary physicists. He was born in a Shanghai intellectual family, studied in the German and American institutes, and became a faculty member at Stanford University since 1995. He did superb research in the field of high-temperature superconductivity, topological insulator and quantum spin hall effect. This paper intends to reveal the complicated correlation between academic mechanism, society and scientists by introducing the unique life of Shou-Cheng Zhang. Key Words: Shou-Cheng Zhang; Topological insulator; Quantum spin hall effect; Danhua capitalIssue:Volume 44, lssue 5, May 2022Page: 105-111
