Physics is a discipline that explores the development laws of nature with natural phenomena and material structures and their movements as the object of study, and its research is as large as the universe and as small as elementary particles, so physics is also the basic discipline in all fields of natural science. As the German scientist Born, a Nobel laureate in physics, put it: "It is not so much because my published work contains the discovery of a natural phenomenon as it contains a basis for a scientific method of thought about natural phenomena." ”
When it comes to physics, Professor Yu Peng, director of the Department of Physics at the School of Physics and Electronic Engineering of Chongqing Normal University, has a light in his eyes. This young scholar, who was rated as a professor at the age of 30, immersed himself in the scientific research work of physics, while immersing himself in the study of science and technology, was immersed in teaching and educating people, and tirelessly taught people.

"Physics is an experiment-based discipline, natural phenomena are the manifestation of all the laws of material motion, if you just keep brushing the questions and memorizing the formulas when learning, it is not easy to learn to understand and learn, it needs to be combined with scientific practice and daily life, more observation and more thinking, the understanding of physical laws into the exploration of nature and practice." Because it's hard to do this in secondary school, most people think there's no harder subject than physics when they're just starting out. Yu Peng said that when he first came into contact with physics from junior high school, he was fortunate to feel the joy of learning physics, and enjoyed the process more and more in continuous learning. While most of his classmates complained about the obscurity of physics, he was able to easily get one of the best grades. This excellent physics score filled him with joy and brought him greater motivation to learn.
Still, he didn't have all the trouble.
Yu Peng did not play a normal level in the college entrance examination, resulting in his failure to enter the first choice college as he wished, but because his physics score was almost full, he was transferred to Chongqing University majoring in applied physics, which is also very lucky for Yu Peng, who likes physics himself.
"Although it is accidental, it has also brought me closer to my life goals, which can be said to be a blessing in disguise." Yu Peng said that his boyhood wish was to become an educator, and now he is on the road to achieving his goals.
"Non-indifferent and unambitious, non-tranquil, far-reaching", from Zhuge Liang's "Book of Commandments", can be described as a summary of Zhuge Liang's life experience, that is, if you do not take the fame and fortune in front of you lightly, you will not have a clear ambition, and you cannot achieve lofty goals if you cannot study calmly. This famous quote learned from the junior high school textbook made Yu Peng engraved in his heart and accompanied him all the way to this day.
After graduating from the undergraduate, Yu Peng successfully obtained a publicly-funded graduate student; in the second year of graduate school, he was recommended to the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; in 2008, he obtained a doctorate degree from the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and was commended by the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences three times during his doctoral studies; he graduated with a doctorate and entered the Hong Kong Polytechnic University to engage in postdoctoral research; at the end of 2010, he came to Chongqing Normal University to teach at the School of Physics and Electronic Engineering, and was rated as a professor in the same year. Yu Peng has continuously learned and made progress, and has presided over more than 20 scientific research projects, including 4 national projects, published more than 80 SCI search papers, and obtained 11 national invention patents.
In the face of stacks of honorary certificates, Yu Peng said: "The achievements of the past are already tomorrow's flowers, and scientific exploration is endless." ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > bravely shouldered the burden of scientific research</h1>
Since 2003, Yu Peng and his team have begun to study the preparation, synthesis, physical properties and application of amorphous alloys (metallic glass) and advanced metal functional materials.
"The strength of metal glass materials is more than 10 times that of their corresponding traditional metal materials, and they are mainly used in precision instruments, sports equipment, medical equipment, power equipment and other fields." These utensils made of metal glass materials have the characteristics of high strength, high wear resistance, high corrosion resistance and long service life. Yu Peng further said, "In scientific research, the team will design an amorphous alloy or a related composite material, and prepare it, study the physical properties of this material, pay attention to its advantages in social production, and what applications it can be transformed into." ”
"Our team has been hoping to discover new properties that can be used by humans and can be translated into productive materials." Yu Peng said that the processing of these basic materials into parts, then processing into devices, and finally assembling into machines, this is a scientific process, "although the process is arduous, we have not only learned new knowledge, but also created new knowledge, and even brought new applications, which is worth it." ”
After experiencing countless times of bulldozing and restarting, step by step to "peel off the cocoon" of the problem, yu Peng's team has synthesized a variety of amorphous alloy systems with excellent performance through the construction of physical models and repeated experimental exploration.
According to reports, the new alloy developed by Yu Peng and his team has excellent mechanical properties, lower cost, excellent glass formation ability, and has become a model material for studying amorphous structures. At present, there are hundreds of scientific research papers and dozens of related patents on the amorphous alloy system prepared by Yu Peng and his team.
"It is my responsibility as a party member and a scientific and technological worker to combine my own scientific research exploration and academic development with the needs of the country's economic and social development." Yu Peng said that the team's scientific research goal in the future is to further study amorphous alloy materials and apply them to the field of energy conversion. At the same time, we will also strive to develop more new materials that can be used by human society and contribute to the country's economic and social development.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > use dreams as the way to lead education</h1>
In Yu Peng's family environment, many people are educators, imperceptibly, and Yu Peng respected educators and the profession of teachers when he was a teenager. In Yu Peng's view, it is a very noble and sacred profession for teachers to impart knowledge to others, give wisdom to others, and teach others the principles of life.
In high school, Yu Peng especially liked to read the Analects, which was such a classic collection of quotations compiled by recording the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples, which impressed, inspired and guided Yu Peng. Whenever he felt confused, stressed, and depressed, he would open the Analects, understand the reasoning, understand the way, and over time he would respect the profession of the teacher even more.
"I was lucky enough to know what kind of career I liked at an early age, so I was able to fight for it earlier." Yu Peng said that during his teaching at the university, he would also "three provinces and my body", only to be worthy of the profession of a teacher.
Yu Peng told reporters that his mode of getting along with students is both relaxed and free. Yu Peng team has 4 teachers, more than 10 graduate students, in the weekly debriefing work time, everyone's discussion is very free, or about the experiment, or about the discipline, or about the profession and life, sometimes the teacher will immediately give the students an answer, sometimes the teacher can not answer, will go to the literature after the meeting, think and then go to the students to answer.
"Everyone has a different personality, and I will try my best to teach according to the characteristics of each student, and hope that students can become useful talents." Yu Peng said that he communicates with students every day, and only more communication can deepen the understanding of students, can we know the difficulties encountered by students in learning or experimenting, and can we better answer questions for them. "Teachers are the guides for students, and only by leading by example can they live up to their expectations."
Whenever students asked Yu Peng about his method of learning physics, Yu Peng often said: "Learning physics requires a strong ability to think logically, as well as image thinking and careful observation." For example, when you see a car running, you must think of the knowledge of physics and the laws of motion; when you see changes in nature such as seismic activity and volcanic activity, you must associate with physics. When you experience physics, you will have a deeper understanding of nature and the universe, and you will stand at a higher height to appreciate the mysteries of the whole world. ”
When students encounter difficulties in doing experiments, Yu Peng will always tell students not to be afraid of abnormal experiments, because the more abnormal they are, the more likely they are to discover new phenomena and new things.
"Scientific research itself is to explore the unknown, and almost every step in it will be difficult, but every step forward is a small innovation." If students can learn to enjoy the process, then scientific research will be a pleasant process for them. Yu Peng said.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > is not worthy of anyone</h1>
Yu Peng is not only an always positive educator, but also a scientific research worker who has calmed down and stabilized his spirit.
In the education work, Yu Peng has been teaching for 10 years and has been working hard to cultivate qualified scientific research talents and technical backbones for local and national levels. As a teacher, he is hands-on in his teaching, leading students to participate in innovation and entrepreneurship projects and various competitions, guiding undergraduate and graduate students to publish papers, and applying for national invention patents. He said, "He who is a teacher must first straighten out his body." As a teacher, you must have a positive attitude, so that you can teach by example and be a good example for students. ”
In scientific research work, Yu Peng has a dream, faces difficulties and is willing to face suffering. "Learning is endless, in fact, when scientific research reaches a certain stage, it will increasingly feel that it needs more space to improve progress." Yu Peng sighed, "Young researchers need to have a mentality that is willing to sit on the cold bench. Because of scientific research, good luck may soon have new discoveries, bad luck may not have new discoveries for a long time, or there is no progress, but the more this time, the more you must calm down, insist, and then insist, as long as it continues, one day you will find something and make a breakthrough. ”
"Since we have done the cause of education, we must teach students well and strive to become an educator with high moral character; since we have done scientific research, we must have the spirit of dedication and strive to become a scientific research worker with academic pursuits." Yu Peng said.
