190 years ago today, October 31, 1835 (September 10, 1835, the 1835 lunar calendar) was the birthday of Beyer, the Nobel Prize winner in chemistry. King William IV of Prussia was in a particularly good mood that day. He specially held a banquet at the court for a scientist. He had long heard that the scientist was a genius of a generation, so he personally went to the palace gate to welcome him. But when he met the scientist, he couldn't help but be stunned; he was so young. Afterwards, he said to the ministers: "I didn't expect that this great scholar who is famous all over Europe turned out to be a young man! "This young man was German organic chemist Adolf von Beijer, who was only 24 years old at the time. Beyer was born on October 31, 1835. His father was a lieutenant general in the Prussian General Staff. Although he was born in the ranks, he was very fond of science. After retiring from the army, he also studied geology from a teacher at the age of 50, and became the president of the Berlin Geological Institute at the age of 76. My mother is a well-known lady, sensible and righteous. Beyer received a good family education from an early age. On Bayer's 10th birthday, he thought his parents would celebrate his birthday like other parents, but his mother took him to his grandmother's house to spend the day. He was very puzzled. On the way home, his mother said to him: "When I gave birth to you, your father was 41 years old and still a rough man. Now, like you, he is studying hard and has to take an exam tomorrow. I don't want to delay his studies just because of your birthday. Mom can only do her best now to make our family life more colorful. When you grow up, you want to make our world more colorful! Later, when Beyer recalled this incident, he said: "This is the most generous gift my mother gave me for my 10th birthday!" When Bejer was studying at university, Professor Jagula, the German authority in organic chemistry, was already well-known throughout the university. Once, Beyer said to his father,"Jagoula is only 6 years older than me..." Before he could finish speaking, his father questioned: "How about 6 years older? Isn't it worth learning from? When I was studying geology, some teachers were 30 years younger than me. Didn't they stop studying? "Beyer often said when talking about this matter in the future: " My father taught me the most profound lesson this time!" Beyer lived up to his parents 'education and expectations. In his first two years at the University of Berlin, he concentrated on physics and mathematics, and in 1856 began to focus on chemistry. Received a doctorate from the University of Berlin in 1858. His doctoral thesis "Comprehensive Research on the Coagulation of Organic Compounds" opens up a new avenue for chemical research. Because of his modesty and studious research, he discovered the molecular structures of the three basic modern dyes: indigo, sky blue, and scarlet. Achievements in organic dyes and fragrances achieved what his mother hoped to "make our world more colorful." He won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry at the age of 70 and died of illness at the age of 82. News raw data sources → https://www.abtool.cn/today_detail/15mi.html 17WorldNews[2025.09.27-12:56] 访问:82
