以身赴险的化学斗士:亨利·莫瓦桑

A Fearless Chemical Fighter:Henri Moissan

化学家亨利·莫瓦桑是法国第一位诺贝尔化学奖获得者。莫瓦桑出身贫寒,最初曾在制表店和药房当一名普通学徒,凭借对化学的天赋、热爱和坚持加入正式的化学实验室,成为享有盛誉的化学家。他最大的两个科学成就分别是制取氟元素和发明莫氏电炉,前者终结了谈氟色变之说,后者也成为科学研究与技术创新密切结合的典范。

The chemist Henri Moissan was the first French Nobel laureate in chemistry.Born in poverty,Moissan worked as an ordinary apprentice in watchmaking and drugstores.He joined the formal chemistry laboratory with his talent,enthusiasm and persistence in chemistry,and became a prestigious chemist.His two greatest scientific achievements were the isolation of fluorine and the invention of the electric furnace.The former put an end to the fear of fluorine,while the latter became a model of the exact combination of scientific research and technological innovation.
