Nobel Prize winner Daniel Tsui Chee received a honorary professorship title from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), sources from the Institute of Semiconductors of the CAS announced Thursday.

Daniel Tsui Chee, Chinese-American professor of Princeton University, shared the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physics with Horst Stormer of Columbia University and Robert Laughlin of Stanford University for "discovery of a new form of quantum fluid with fractionally charged excitations," according to the Royal Swedish Academy.

Currently as a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences and a foreign academician of the CAS, Tsui was invited to exchange academic views with some CAS researchers, sources from the CAS said.

Tsui inspired Chinese researchers by saying that one has to prove yourself what you do is correct and repeating others will only make you unconfident.

Tsui was the sixth Chinese-born scientist who received the Nobel Prize for natural sciences after Chen Ning Yang, T.D. Lee, Samuel Chao Chung Ting, Yuan Tseh Lee and Steven Chu.
