Chapter 270 Division of Labor and Cooperation

After talking about his thoughts from beginning to end, Lu Zhou formulated a big framework for the whole project.

This framework contains the problems that need to be considered in solving this proposition, the ideas to solve this proposition, and the most critical thing - how to extend the "group structure method" to this problem.

After all, it is his most powerful weapon.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhou assigned everyone's work.

Hardy's thinking is relatively active, and he is responsible for collecting documents and proposing ideas.

Qin Yue is good at calculation, and he should be a good partner.

As for Vera, her style is probably similar to hers, and she belongs to the type who is good at independent thinking. Forcing such a talent into the research environment of group discussion will instead affect her normal performance. Professor Deligne had similar considerations at the beginning, so he let him choose whether to join his "standard conjecture" project.

After some consideration, Lu Zhou finally decided to put her in Group B, and advance this topic simultaneously with Hardy and Qin Yue in Group A.

That is, to conduct independent research on the different issues involved in the proposition, and to exchange views at the frequency of two seminars per week, and to report the situation in one internal report every month.

This model is very common in some large research teams, because some awesome bosses usually bring a lot of students, stuffing more than a dozen students in one team, but it will affect the research efficiency because the team is too bloated.

Lu Zhou also learned these experiences from other professors at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

Just as Lu Zhou assigned everyone's tasks, there was a knock on the door outside the office.

Lu Zhou was about to open the door when Hardy stood up consciously and walked towards the door.

The door of the office opened, and it was Professor Chiric who appeared at the door.

As soon as the tall and burly Professor Chiric entered the door, he passed the Brazilian boy next to him and walked towards Lu Zhou excitedly.

"You posted that paper?! The one in Nature? No, I mean, that Lu Zhou is really the same person as you?"

Because he was too excited, his voice was a little incoherent, and when he pronounced Lu Zhou's name, he even pronounced the wrong pitch.

Worried that this guy would suddenly give him a hug, Lu Zhou took half a step back and looked him up and down: "...Yes, what's the problem?"

Besides him, is there any other Professor Lu in Princeton?

Professor Chiric hugged him without excitement, took a deep breath, and then calmed down.

Immediately afterwards, he sighed with disbelief.

"God... you are a genius!"

This flattery came unexpectedly.

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly, coughed lightly and said, "I'm not God..."

Professor Chiric, who was running out of breath, was almost choked by Lu Zhou's words.

He coughed violently twice, and said, "That's a particle of the tone. I'm not saying you are God, please don't misunderstand...Speaking of it, how did you do it? Is it an analysis product of computational materials science? Or Say you can estimate a range?"

What Professor Chiric is most curious about is not why the modified PDMS film produces such a miraculous effect, but how Professor Lu Zhou discovered this product.

Although computational materials science has made good progress in the field of organic synthesis, such a major research result is unheard of. The mainstream method is to keep repeating the test, analyze the various properties of the material, then do the test again, analyze again, and finally work out a suitable result.

Not only him, I believe that many people are full of interest in this question.

Lu Zhou knew exactly what he was curious about, and was not too surprised by it.

In fact, when studying computational materials science, he did sum up some useful techniques when building mathematical models.

Although the negative electrode material was scanned out by him with a scanning gun...

After thinking about it, Lu Zhou said.

"I can't explain clearly for a while now, and I am arranging work for my students. MRS has sent me an invitation letter, and I will report the detailed content at the report venue. If you are interested, Remember not to miss my report."

"MRS? Don't worry, of course I won't miss it! To be honest, if it wasn't because I have too many things to do, I would even want to come to your place for further study." Professor Chiric joked in a tone that didn't seem like a joke.

Of course, Lu Zhou would not take his words seriously, and smiled and said: "If you are interested in number theory, I don't mind accepting a professor as a doctor. As for computational materials science, this course is still under planning. To be honest, even I haven’t even figured out what form is more appropriate for this course to be launched.”

"Anyway, another billionaire was 'accidentally' born in Princeton," Professor Chiric patted Lu Zhou's arm, and said with a smile: "I know you math professors in high schools are not interested in money, but Anyway, you must buy me a drink. Don't forget, I borrow your laboratory!"

Billionaires are exaggerated, but multi-millionaires are not difficult.

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded: "Definitely."

Professor Chiric left, just as he came in such a hurry, he also strode when he left.

The three students in the office all stared blankly at their boss, staring at his back.

Looking back, Lu Zhou found that the three of them were looking at him, he was slightly stunned, and then waved his hands.

"What do you watch me do, do what you should do."

Qin Yue and Hardy looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Although they couldn't understand what the boss and the white professor were discussing, the billionaires could still understand.

always feel...

It seems to follow an incredible boss.

...

the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

In the carbon nanomaterials laboratory of Jinling University, the experiment has entered the second half.

Under the instruction of Professor Li Rongen, Qian Zhongming placed the fabricated battery sample on the electron microscope and connected it to the BK-6808 rechargeable battery tester.

With the continuous collection of sample pictures, Professor Li Rongen's expression became more and more serious.

I don't know how long it has passed.

Staring at the computer screen, he suddenly smiled.

"sharp……"

Smiling and shaking his head, Professor Li Rongen took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose. Although he only said two words, the emotion in his heart couldn't stop.

If it is an ordinary lithium battery, even if it is a thin film with strong toughness, the charging reaction will start to generate dead lithium under the tip nucleation effect at this time.

But this inconspicuous modified PDMS material, only through several uncomplicated processes such as hydrofluoric acid treatment of polydimethylsiloxane, and the final spin-coating coating film, has the ability to inhibit lithium. Dendrite-grown lithium anode materials.

This reminded him of the ABX3 crystalline perovskite photovoltaic material, which was rated as one of the top ten scientific breakthroughs in the world by Science in 2013, which suddenly pushed the concept of solar energy to a new height.

At that time, many people were also surprised, because the preparation of this material is so simple, just mix the two salts, stir, spin coat, and then dry it.

And this PDMS material also has the same purpose.

The production process involved in itself is not complicated, and the raw materials needed are not very expensive.

It is precisely this kind of thing that the industry really needs.

Liu Bo, who was standing beside Qian Zhongming, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"This guy is a genius..."

"Yeah," Qian Zhongming pushed his glasses, nodded in agreement, "he's a genius."

Thinking of how to operate these devices, Qian Zhongming couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion in his heart because he taught him by himself.

Is Computational Materials Science Really So Magical?

Maybe, the next time we meet, I have to ask him about math problems.

Staring at the images continuously captured by the electron microscope, Professor Li Rongen thought for a long time, then suddenly said.

"I plan to go to the United States for this year's MRS conference, who will go with me?"

Without any hesitation, Qian Zhongming and Liu Bo raised their hands at the same time.

Obviously, none of them wanted to miss this meeting.

Guessing it would be like this, Professor Li shook his head with a smile.

"Forget it, let's go together."
