The apple tree in the inner lawn of Trinity College, because in Trinity College, Newton is an alumnus of Trinity College, so the apple tree has become one of the most famous attractions on the Cambridge campus. The "Newton" label on its body comes from the legend related to gravity: one day, Newton was sitting under the apple tree to rest, suddenly a ripe apple fell and hit his head. Subconsciously, he touched the hurt spot, and then suddenly a light came into Newton's mind: Why do ripe apples always fall down, but not fly up? Is there some unseen force at work, pulling the apple toward the ground? After a long time, Newton finally figured it out, and from this came the law of gravitation.

This apple tree in Newton's hometown is the original Newton apple tree. In 1820, Charles Turner visited Woolsthorpe Manor, Newton's home town, and since there was only one apple tree in the whole estate, he quickly identified the location of the apple tree, and through species and dendrochronology, Turner confirmed that the apple tree was the one Newton had seen.

In his Memoirs of the Life of Sir Isaac Newton, published in 1752 by Stickley, Newton was inspired by the apple.

In front of the apple tree at Trinity College, Cambridge, Newton's Alma mater, the real law of gravity punched.

Mathematics Bridge, also known as Newton Bridge, Queen's College across the river CAM, connected by the world-famous "Mathematics Bridge", the Queen's garden on the left of the river CAM, flowers, willows, verdant garden. The college was founded in 1448 by Margaret, Queen of Henry VI, and in 1465 by Woodville, queen of Edward IV, so the name "Queens" refers to these two queens.

Take a boat ride on the River CAM through the campus of the University of Cambridge to see the riverside Court of Magdalene College, Cambridge.

Corpus Clock

Many people call it "grasshopper clock", which seems to be more appropriate to its shape. Conceived by Dr John Taylor, Honorary Fellow of the College and inventor of the toaster timer, and built over a period of five years at a cost of £1m, the four-foot-wide gold-plated clock is driven by a pendulum and has a mechanism in the shape of a giant grasshopper. This giant grasshopper is known as the "Chronophage" - the time eater. There were no hands on this clock face, only a grasshopper, and with the footsteps of the grasshopper, the minutes were passing by. The grasshopper clock reminds the students that time is fleeting and precious.

In 2008, Professor Stephen Hawking and inventor Dr John Taylor unveiled the £1 million Cambridge Bell at the Corpus Christi College Library, Cambridge.

There are two maps outside St. Mary's Cathedral. Since these maps are 3D, they can be both touched and viewed, so they can also be used by the visually impaired. One map is a map of the city centre and the other shows more areas of Cambridge.

Streets in Cambridge

Cambridge Market Square, one of the oldest markets in Cambridge, has been around for centuries. The square is surrounded by many places of interest in Cambridge, selling fruits and vegetables, as well as clothes, flowers, small crafts and various snacks and snacks.

Cambridge Science Park

Cambridge Science Park, located in Cambridgeshire, southeast England, is recognised as one of the world's foremost technology centres, with an unrivalled track record of research and innovation. The region accounts for 15.8 per cent of the UK's GDP and 3.4 per cent of R&D spending, and is home to the prestigious University of Cambridge, which is at the heart of the region's research activity. It is a vibrant and dynamic region with a highly innovative economy operating in a closely coordinated industrial network of universities, start-up companies and large multinational corporations, and continues to attract investment from all over the world. The economic development of the Cambridge Science and Technology Park has created the "Cambridge phenomenon". In the past 30 years, the science and technology park has continuously added 5,000 jobs every year, and the average annual GDP growth rate of the park has reached 63%, which is much higher than the 3.4% GDP growth rate of the United Kingdom. It has generated £55 billion in tax revenue and £28 billion in exports. Such an increasingly economic and technologically advanced high-tech park has become the development centre of the entire East of England. "Cambridge Phenomenon" is not a short historical process, this high-tech as the core of the innovative economic growth mode, to maintain the Cambridge area of long-term development activities, so that it won the reputation of "silicon marsh", and become an important part of the United Kingdom's new economic center. The emergence of Cambridge Science Park is not accidental, it is the inevitable result of the comprehensive effect of historical, technological, commercial, material and policy factors.

Cambridge Science Park

It covers 152 acres, has excellent natural ecological resources, including 58 campus buildings, providing a total of about 176,000 square meters of office space.

The University of Cambridge established the Wolfson Industry Liaison Office to coordinate and serve the departments and researchers to establish cooperation with the industry, from technical consulting, market analysis, matchmaking to draft specific contract terms and other comprehensive services, which has helped the smooth birth of a considerable number of high-tech enterprises. In 1984, the Trinity Center was established to provide meeting places, dining facilities for companies in the Science park, and more convenience for people working here.

In the future, the Bioinnovation Center will attract startups in the life sciences field, creating the first life sciences industrial cluster center in the history of Cambridge Science Park.

Flexible research results transformation mechanism and close integration of industry, university and research

In order to promote the development of the science park, the University of Cambridge has formulated a series of policies conducive to the transfer of scientific and technological achievements to the outside. Any patent owner, including an individual, a research group or a faculty, can convert the patent they own.

The University set up the Wolfson Industrial Liaison Office to encourage the transfer of intellectual property and set up a policy of "focusing on the large and releasing the small" as a share of the university's income.

According to the amount of income (net income), it is divided among the inventor, the department and the university in the following proportion:

Under £10,000: inventor 90%, department 5%, university 5%;

£10,000 - £30,000 (excluding): 70% for inventor, 15% for department, 15% for university;

£30,000 - £50,000 (excluding): 50% inventor, 25% department, 25% University;

Over £50,000 (excluding): 33.3% for inventor, 33.3% for department, 33.3% for university.
