Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

It is a very novel idea to solve the superconducting phenomenon from the perspective of carbon nanomaterials.

Although no one has done this research, I have not heard of any outstanding results so far.

Therefore, it is impossible for this idea to work. In fact, Lu Zhou has no bottom.

However, the vast majority of scientific research is starting from guessing. He decided to like other big guys, no matter if they can do it, set a flag and say.

After determining the research direction, Lu Zhou and Sarat made a phone call and retelled the words that he had previously said with Zhao Xu.

After listening to Lu Zhou’s words, Sarrot’s eyes widened: “Superconducting materials? Why do you suddenly want to study this direction?”

Lu Zhou: "Because it is very interesting, can't you?"

Sarrot: "No, I mean, the research in this direction is close to blank, we have to start from scratch."

Lu Zhou: "So?"

“So it’s very likely that after a lot of phased results, we can make a result that meets the patent application standards,” Sarnot couldn’t help but persuade. “Why don’t we continue to make batteries? The industry is looking forward to us. Continue to improve the hs-2 material and bring them a larger capacity battery."

After hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou smiled.

“The industry is definitely not looking forward to our continued improvement of hs-2 materials. In fact, the technologies we have come up with are enough for the industry to digest for a while.”

"As for patents, you don't have to worry about this. I will not use patents as the sole criterion for your performance evaluation. You can only do it in this direction."

"Well, since you don't care about losing money." Sarrot shrugged and no longer persuaded.

Although I can't understand the boss's motives, some people are willing to lose money to give him an experiment. This kind of opportunity will naturally not be rejected.

After a pause, Sarrot continued: "In fact, if you are not very concerned about patent issues, we can work with other research teams to speed up the output of the phased results. As far as I know, MIT A research team is also doing this, we can work with them."

Lu Zhou: "Their name?"

Sarrot: "The team of pablo·jarillo-herrero, the person in charge is the big cow in the field of graphene."

Lu Zhou frowned slightly and questioned: "Does this big cow want to cooperate with us?"

"It depends on who is the person who proposed the cooperation. If I sent the mail in the past, he would not care about me," Sarrot shrugged. "But if the Hoffman Medal winner, the theoretical model of the electrochemical interface structure is proposed The first person in the field of computational materials sent an email to him, I think he probably won’t refuse."

Emmmm......

Lu Zhou suddenly felt that although this guy's argument is a bit strange, it always makes sense.

"That, I will try to contact him."

Hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou opened the laptop and began searching for the information of the pablo·jarillo-herrero research group with the Princeton database.

The circle of academia is not big. It is very simple to know what a person is studying. It is only necessary to investigate the big papers he has recently sent.

Soon, Lu Zhou found what he wanted.

This group's research on the superconductivity of graphene materials can be traced back even a decade ago.

In 2007, they published a paper on "Bipolar Ultra Current in Graphene" in "Nature". In 2014, "Nature" also published a book on "Graphite Quantum Spin Hall State". Research papers, and a recent "nature" on the ferromagnetic and heterostructure studies of single-layer van der Waals crystals, is also quite interesting.

After taking note of the email address of the correspondent author, Lu Zhou quickly found a personal blog of Professor Pablo Herrero, the head of the project team, through Google.

Judging from his updated blog content, as Sarrot said, they are engaged in an interesting study on the superconducting properties of graphene at low temperatures.

If they are right, they will provide a new idea for the study of superconducting materials.

"The material science community is really a big man."

In my heart, Lu Zhou opened the mailbox and began to edit the mail.

[...Hello, Professor Pablo Herrero, I am a Lu Zhou who works at Princeton University. After reading your paper published in Nature, I am very interested in your research direction. If you don't mind, I hope to cooperate with you on the study of graphene superconductivity. I don't know what you mean? 】

After sending the mail, Lu Zhou did not immediately close the mailbox, but leaned on the chair and waited for a while.

According to his experience, most people will use the morning time to track the dynamics of their peers on arxiv, as well as check the work email and reply to the email.

Without any surprise, Professor Pablo Herrero should be sitting at the computer at this moment and have already seen his mail.

In fact, Lu Zhou guessed very accurately.

After waiting for about five minutes, he waited for a reply.

There is only one line in the message.

[I have no opinion, is there a more specific cooperation plan? 】

Seeing this email, Lu Zhou’s mouth twitched with a smile and began to edit the letter.

【of course……】

......

The speed of the cooperation agreement is even smoother than that of Lu Zhou’s imagination.

For such projects with low patent conversion rates, most professors are quite willing to cooperate with powerful teams.

According to the cooperative research agreement between the two parties, Lu Zhou will send a researcher to conduct interviews and guide them to their own methods of computational materials. At the same time, they will also send a researcher to come over and research and exchange.

The two sides jointly studied the topic of superconducting properties of two-dimensional carbon nanomaterials, and the resulting papers were co-signed.

The next day, Lu Zhou found Connie who was a postdoctoral fellow.

Compared with Jericho, who is still in the learning stage, it is clear that Connie, who has been working for a while, is more suitable for this task.

"I need you to go to Boston." After finding Connie, Lu Zhou opened the door to see the mountain.

"Boston? Is there anything?" Connie, who was doing the experiment, stopped the work on hand and asked Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou: "I recently reached an agreement with the Pablo·jarillo-herrero team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to conduct collaborative research on the superconducting properties of two-dimensional carbon nanomaterials. I need you to visit and exchange for a while. This may take a few weeks or it may take a few months, and these are not good. Of course, I will reimburse you for travel expenses and expenses, mainly depends on whether you have any problems with the schedule?"

"I am completely ok here, Professor," Connie grinned and patted his chest and said, "I will give it to me with confidence. When will I leave?"

Accessing communication is a good opportunity to open up your horizons, especially with a generous boss who doesn't have to pay for it.

Such an opportunity, any hardworking student, will not easily let go.

Seeing Connie agreed, Lu Zhou nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

"You can start preparing now, and leave after three days!"
