Chinese entertainment for engineering students

"Nature, it's here. It's very fast this time. As expected of you, your name has already taken priority in the world. The first article in China. Congratulations, haha." What came over the phone was Professor Yan's hearty voice. laughter.

When the blue-ray project came to fruition, the Department of Electronics and Materials originally got the news first, but they still respected the status of Professor Yan, Wang Xu’s mentor, and left the job of reporting the good news to him.

This is another paper led by Wang Xu and signed by a professor each from the Department of Materials and the Department of Electronics. It can be regarded as a union of the three departments. There is no problem for anyone to promote it among the three departments.

"Congratulations, congratulations. Thank you Professor Yan. Let's have a meal together tonight to celebrate?" Although I had known for a long time that this result had been published in "Nature", and although I had been baptized by "Science", when I actually saw the publication, everything When the dust settled, Wang Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Because this means that from now on, Wang Xu no longer needs to write too many papers to show his presence. His status in the world has been completely formed. According to the entertainment industry, he has officially been crowned king at this time. And he's not afraid of the house collapsing.

Although no real awards have been won so far, everyone knows that this year's Natural Science Award and Science and Technology Progress Award are almost certain.

Domestic physics awards are definitely indispensable. The "Ye Qisun Physics Award" must be given to Wang Xu this year, because both "graphene" and "blue light" are inseparable from condensed matter physics. Wang Xu's award is expected by everyone. It can be said that, The most unsuspicious award in June this year.

But whether they can win the "Rao Yutai Physics Prize" by the way depends on whether they are willing to classify "blue LED" into the field of optics. If it is divided according to the scientific direction, it is obviously not the case.

But if it is divided according to its contribution to optics, then it is appropriate. Now it depends on whether the leaders of the Physical Society are willing to play tricks.

However, physics awards are lagging behind. For example, the awards awarded in June this year actually commended those in 1990-91, and Wang Xu’s papers were published in 1992. In other words, even if he wins, he will still be awarded. You have to get it in 1994.

This is an important reason why it is difficult to win awards for scientific research. It is not timely enough. The most sensational moments have passed. Awards are just the icing on the cake. Therefore, except for the world's top awards such as the Nobel Prize, other awards are rarely given. lock up.

That is to say, insiders in the industry know how awesome this thing is, but outsiders are completely confused. You have to give them a science popularization award.

For ordinary people, a "Ye Qisun Physics Award" may be far less prestigious than a "Golden Phoenix Best Actor", but in fact the former is much more difficult than the latter.

In the 1990s when there was no popular science, ordinary people didn’t even know anything about the Nobel Prize. If you don’t believe it, ask on the street, does anyone know? Really, even in the imperial capital, you can’t find anyone who really knows what this award is for and how awesome it is.

Only in very good middle schools, teachers will educate their students about Nobel Prizes. For others, even the teachers probably don’t know about them.

On the other hand, almost everyone knows the Oscars. The Palme d'Or in Cannes, the Golden Bear in Berlin, and the Golden Lion in Venice are also widely circulated. Lao Mouzi and Chen Wuji all became famous in China through these awards.

But if you win a "Turing" or "Wolf" award, ask who knows what it is. Not even the reporters from the Xiangjiang Newspaper really understand the weight of these awards, let alone the ordinary people in mainland China. .

Therefore, Wang Xu keeps his expectations for awards very low. In his eyes, there are only two awards, the domestic Natural Science Award and the international Nobel Prize. The latter depends on the right time and place, but he is determined to win the former.

He was too lazy to take the time to explain to others the actual meaning of various awards, big and small, and the cup seemed tactless.

The publication of "Nature" is also a milestone for Shuimu. Because this means that the most important core scientific research results of the "Growth Method" project have been achieved. If it were a single independent project, a summary meeting can now be held.

Since then, there has not been much trouble in directly announcing the successful completion of the growth method project.

But in fact, the entire growth method project has just begun. Various sub-projects are in full swing. Large molecules, small molecules, organic and inorganic crystals, and fibers will continue to be produced on this platform.

With this platform, it can almost be said that the departments of chemistry, materials, and electronics will not be short of high-quality papers in the next few years.

Just like an electron microscope, you can easily publish a few articles in the first area of ​​SCI, and you can also imagine the top journals. And a platform with a growth method will only be worse than that.

Although there may not be a top journal like "Nature" in the future, even now, there are not a few submissions to various first-area SCIs, and a paper on fibrous structures is under review in the top journals in the field.

It can be expected that the next few months will be a good harvest period for water and wood papers. No less than ten SCI area 1 papers were produced in the same university in a short period of time. In the academic circle, it is definitely a nuclear bomb-level effect.

I'm afraid that by then, not only the country, but also the international community will be looking covetously, which requires Mizuki to prepare himself.

Whether the experimental equipment for this growth method can be sold and whether it is restricted for sale requires communication with the country's high-level security department before the future direction of this experimental equipment can be determined.

However, among all the papers to be published, Wang Xu is actually most interested in papers on laser diodes and optical sensors, because these two topics are not native projects of the growth method, but are derivative projects.

Specifically, it was the kind of project where Wang Xu himself didn’t know the detailed process, and even more so knew about it but didn’t know why. He just proposed the technical feasibility, and then the young scholars in Shuimu conducted actual research on it.

To outsiders, these projects are smaller than the core native topics in terms of difficulty and impact.

But for Wang Xu, only these topics are the runway for truly cultivating Chinese scientists.

Wang Xu has discussed with the school that each professor can participate in native topics at most once.

This kind of research is actually about picking up the results in name. If Wang Xu is willing to let you, you can pick up the results, but regardless of the size, it is not considered a real skill.

It’s okay to give favors, but only once per person. Don’t do it endlessly. You really consider yourself an expert. It’s okay for others to blow it, and it’s okay to fill a cup occasionally, but you can’t really count it yourself.

Derivative topics are scientific research in the true sense. You can tell your true level by looking at which one.

Therefore, many professors, including Professor Duan, who have completed their original projects are now busy working on various derivative projects, and this kind of research has returned to the normal scientific research process.

Various seminars and seminars have increased visibly.
