悉尼大学的实验室里陈列着一块1米见方的真空玻璃,它标志着真空玻璃时代的到来。从1892年杜瓦发明保温瓶开始,很多人便提出了真空玻璃的设想方案,唐健正也从年轻时代就开始了“把暖水瓶做成平板”——真空玻璃的研究实验。1963年,毕业于北京大学物理系的唐健正留校任教。1990年,唐健正离开北京大学,作为高级访问学者到澳大利亚悉尼大学。在悉尼大学期间,唐健正与他的合作伙伴R.E.Collins教授一起合作开展真空玻璃的研究,此时唐健正已52岁。科学攻关的道路是漫长而艰苦的,仅 The University of Sydney laboratory displays a 1-meter-square vacuum glass, which marks the vacuum glass era. Starting from the invention of the thermos flask by Dewar in 1892, many people proposed the concept of vacuum glass. Tang Jianzheng also started the experiment of “making the thermos flask” from the young age. In 1963, Tang Jianzheng, a graduate of the Department of Physics at Peking University, stayed on to teach. In 1990, Tang Jianzheng left Peking University as a visiting scholar to the University of Sydney in Australia. While at Sydney, Don was working with his partner, R.E.Collins, to research vacuum glass, at which point Don was 52 years old. The path to scientific research is long and painstaking, only
