Features: This book is a record of the exciting scenes from the Japanese media interview and promotional activities following Professor Eiichiro White's receipt of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. It also reflects Professor White's calm and ordinary mindset amidst his joy. The book is divided into two parts. "Myself and Chemistry" points out that the key to success for young people lies in developing curiosity about things, and observation, analysis, and interest are all capital for success. "My Nobel Journey" reflects, from one perspective, how personal success is closely related to family, education systems, academic evaluation systems, and funding mechanisms. The book also provides a brief introduction to the physical and chemical mechanisms of conductive polymers. This book serves as a great role model and source of inspiration for the talent development education of students and their parents in primary and secondary schools.
