The most important scientific journals founded 140 years, Chinese hits the nature of a century, the classic reproduce
Beijing News weekly of the new knowledge
The nature of this Edition (top) and the Centennial scientific page〈 nature > classic on the cover of the first volume (bottom).
Anyone who cares about the audience and technological development, no wonder the journal nature.
The journal nature, the founding in 1869 to exactly 140 years this year. If this article 140 years highlights read through it again, certainly on the history of modern science was said to the chest. Now, this requirement is no longer a dream and big words, foreign language teaching and research press, Macmillan Publishing Group and nature Publishing Group jointly launched the page〈 nature > a century of science classic series English-Chinese version of the book, from the past one and a half century published 100 000 papers selected out of more than 840 articles, 10 volumes published. First book is up to 892 pages, just like a large piece of hard cookies allow people to go to the "bite". In "bite", let's look at the history of the journal nature.1 scientific Kilroy classic
From birth onwards, the natural law is the world's most influential scientific journals.
It reported in modern science and in some of the most important discoveries, and published a series of top scientists in the article. The following is the magazine published a landmark scientific paper:● Electronics like wave
Thesis: the NI single crystal scattering on electronic "
Addtime: 1927 total 119 period
Bell telephone laboratories Davidson (ClintonDavisson) and leather dynasty (LesterGermer) electron impact a NI single crystal.
If e has the same properties as waves, then known as NI single crystal of the spacing between the Atomic planes, they will be able to calculate the expected diffraction beam angle of expected. The results fully confirmed the de Broglie "e-mail has the nature of the waves".● Nucleic acid structure
Thesis: the molecular structure of nucleic acids: DNA structure.
Addtime: 1953, the total period of 171
1953, 25 April, Watson and Crick in the nature published a paper entitled "molecular structure of nucleic acids: DNA structure.
Article is very short, only 128 lines of text, it is the modern life sciences history milestones. They learn through past constitute rules of nucleic acid, derived by calculation, only the double helical structure in order to comply with these rules. The author therefore receive the Nobel Prize in 1962, and thereby create a new discipline — molecular biology. This thesis is believed to be the most important in the history of natural law.● Geomagnetic reversal
Thesis: the ocean ridge of magnetic anomalies "
Addtime £ 199 total no. 1963 period
In 1963, van en (FrederickVine) and Matthews (Drummond Matthews) will Hayes (HarryHess) of seafloor spreading theories and geomagnetic reversal schedule known to make a simple explanation: if new submarine was current in the geomagnetic field, ocean ridge expansion results in parallel to the ocean ridge in the magnetic stripe.
This article confirms the formation in the 1930s by the plate tectonics theory.2 included "errors" are also valuable
In the Centennial scientific page〈 nature > classic, also included some "errors" in the article, as well as some now no topic for discussion.
Chinese American physicist Lee Road in the prolog said: "this book valuable in that it not only brings together the special theory of relativity, quantum theory of mature, human genome sequencing is complete these with innovative and ground-breaking large events, great achievements, but also to some later turned out to be wrong article covers come in, and shows around the same subject of academic debate. This is a rare eye and the mind. "Here, we'll look at some examples of" error ".• Aggregate water
Issue age: 1960s to 1970s.
Soviet physicist Verde elegance gold (NikolaiFedyakin) in Kostroma of a small lab repeated water squeezed into narrow quartz tube, some experiments seem to show water after this procedure will change the nature of the water.
For example, the boiling point of water, the lower the freezing point of water, as well as increasing the viscosity of water, let the water like syrup as sticky. Other scientists experiment proved that there is no such "aggregate water", the result is likely to be of human factors.• Cold Fusion
Issue age: 1989
Nuclear fusion can be an immense energy, but at the same time require high temperature and high pressure to complete.
1989: March 23, United States University of Utah, Salt Lake City held an extraordinary press conference, the school of Pons (Pons) Professor at the University of Southampton and the United Kingdom's Fred Hsu Manco (Fleischmann) Professor announced that they achieve a so-called "glass of controlled nuclear fusion". Originally a duo and Brigham Young University's Jones (StevenE.Jones) agreed on 24 March at the airport we met together to put research results express to the journal nature, did not expect the first released the University of Utah. Jones had subsequently alone in the homeSo "magazine published papers. The July to November in the journal nature has published several articles that other scientists to do the experiment, and not to make the appropriate experimental results. Now this "cold fusion" is already in the scientific community that is misreading the results of the experimental data.● Water memory
Issue age: 1988
1980s, France chemists the finniss (JacquesBenveniste) doctrine that water can "remember" it dissolved substances.
His group human antibody dissolved in water, then put this solution diluted to casually took out a ml, are almost impossible to bring out an antibody molecule. The finniss, said his experiments show that human macrophage will still be there on the water. If the discovery is true, it will shake the foundations of physics and chemistry. The finniss, his papers submitted to the journal nature. The total section 333 nature on published this thesis. However, the then Chief Jimmy maddocks (JohnMaddox) expressed in the Editor's Note: on this essay questions. Later, he led the Organization a "catch Ghost Squad" group, redo the finniss's experiments, and in the latter period magazine issued, redo the results of the experiment is that water does not display the "memory".【 Dialogue 】 editor in Chief of the natural law: Campbell is every detail to understand
"Nature" magazine Chief Editor Philip ·
Campbell recently conducted lectures in Academy of agricultural sciences, and our reporter's short interview.Beijing News: your own selected article? you selected articles?
Campbell: I never selected articles.
I rely on professional editing. They are better than me more time to keep in touch with scientific associations, participating in conferences.Beijing News: this problem may be offended that you understand the nature of each article?
Campbell: I can understand the importance of each article, but I'm not every detail can understand.
After all, science is a very specialized things.Beijing News: do you know what the article is right and what is wrong?
Campbell: nobody knows.
Each article has a reference to the data, so that people can know what is "look right". Then someone will do the experiment again, you can tell us it is right or wrong.Beijing News: Please talk about the future of
the journal nature.Campbell: the future we will continue to do this magazine.
If you look back at the past 15 years, will find that we launched a new child, and continues to do so. I the nature of the future with confidence, because I believe in the future people will need in the magazine to see good scientific articles.
