朱經武
Paul C.W. Chu
b. 1941, Hunan |
Physicist and leading researcher on superconductivity. He was the first to create ceramic compounds with superconducting
characteristics at relatively high temperature of -290°F, thus bringing closer to reality the possibility
of practical superconductors. He is currently the Director of the Texas Center for Superconductivity at a professor
of physics at the University of Houston. |
