Chapter 212 The meat is rotten in the pot
As a top journal, "Advanced Materials" naturally requires senior professors from major universities around the world to serve as journal editors.
It is precisely because of this that the level of the journal "Advanced Materials" can always be maintained and steadily improve. Similarly, it is precisely because of the high standards that the rejection rate is also extremely high.
As the review editor of "Advanced Materials", Sneha will start reviewing manuscripts after finishing her teaching work.
For this job, Sneha also became calm and indifferent from the high interest before.
The only advantage of serving as a review editor is that you can have access to the research results of scholars from all over the world, which can greatly broaden your horizons and knowledge, and improve your knowledge reserve.
If there is any breakthrough progress, we will know about it as soon as possible.
Don’t underestimate this time difference. For scientific research geeks like them, if this time is used well, they can get a bite of meat in the shortest time after the emergence of breakthrough technology.
Whether it is publishing papers or doing research, you can be ahead of other scholars.
Sneha walked on the Harvard campus with a confident smile on her face.
He is only in his forties this year and is in the golden age of scientific research. By serving as a review editor for "Advanced Materials", his academic level has been greatly improved in the past few years.
Even a scientific research project he is currently undertaking has made great progress.
Back in the office, Sneha turned on the computer and was about to read the emails in the mailbox when his phone rang.
“Oh, my old friend, I have received three paper submissions here. I think you will be very surprised.”
Listening to the annoying voice on the phone, Sneha’s His face became a little ugly.
The caller was actually an acquaintance of Sneha, a professor at Oxford University.
At the same time, he is also a review editor of "Advanced Materials". The conflict between the two came from a paper discussion.
"Martel, what do you mean? If you specifically found three papers that disgust me, I would definitely block you and tell the journal organizing committee about it. I I think you won’t see this scene either!”
Sneha acted very calmly, holding the phone and said calmly.
“Hahaha, after you read it, you will understand why I sent these three papers to you. I hope they can be helpful to your project. I am looking forward to your work. Project results.”
Martel laughed and hung up the phone after saying this.
After putting down the phone, Sneha's face became a little ugly. She opened her mailbox and immediately found an email from Martel.
Opening the email, Sneha read it quickly.
As soon as she opened it and saw the titles of these three submitted papers, Sneha's breathing stopped briefly.
[New insights into the decay mechanism of nickel-rich layered oxide cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries]
[Suppression of lattice oxygen escape enables excellent cycle performance of high-voltage nickel-rich cathodes]
[High-voltage nickel-rich cathodes stabilized by defective oxygen inert phases for high-energy lithium-ion batteries]
Sneha is currently researching The project is lithium battery, and the direction is exactly the same type.
In just an instant, Sneha understood why Martel sent him this email.
“shit!”
Cursing in a low voice, Sneha opened the paper and started reading it.
Sneha read the three papers for an hour.
After reading it, Sneha's eyes lit up, and there was a hint of thinking in her expression.
“Use an oxygen ion conductor to modify high nickel. The chemical bond between the two anchors surface oxygen, controls the calcination temperature, and obtains a coating layer, thereby controlling Yang Xichu...”
“Original That’s right, it’s indeed a smart idea!”
"If I had seen this paper earlier, maybe my project would have been completed a long time ago."
"However, now that I have these three papers, it seems that my project needs to be changed a little."
Sneha murmured to herself, not being shocked by the contents of these three papers, or having any thoughts of giving up on her project.
As a scientific researcher, he has actually seen this kind of situation many times, but this time it happened to him.
There are countless scholars around the world, and there are also many scientific research institutes and laboratories. It is extremely normal for scientific research projects to collide.
Sometimes, it’s just about who can develop it faster.
If you take a quick step forward, you can eat meat. If you are fastidious, you will leave a mouthful of soup for the people behind you. If you are not fastidious, you will just eat it all in one go.
With so many thoughts in mind, Sneha looked at the author of the paper.
WangDongLai!
Seeing this name, Sneha knew that this was a scholar from Eastern China.
After silently reciting it twice, Sneha felt that the name seemed a bit familiar.
And at this time.
There was a knock on Sneha’s office, and the graduate students he brought came in.
"Tutor, this is what you need."
Looking at his Chinese graduate student, Sneha's heart moved and asked: "Yan You, have you heard about Wang Donglai? This name? He seems to be one of your Chinese.”
When Yan You heard his mentor ask this, his first reaction was to be stunned, but it only took him a moment to react.
"Tutor, is the Wang Donglai you are talking about the professor at Tangdu Jiaotong University?"
Although he is studying at Harvard, Yan You is still very clear about the most famous mathematics professor in China. of.
So when I heard Sneha ask this question, I immediately thought of this newly famous young professor.
The same young man, Yan You is still a graduate student, but Wang Donglai has already become famous.
In the circle of overseas students, there is a lot of attention to Wang Donglai, so Yan You reacted immediately.
“It seems to be Tangdu Jiaotong University.”
Sneha thought for a while and replied.
"Tutor, if it is Wang Donglai from Tangdu Jiaotong University, then I do know this person. He is the winner of this year's Wolf Prize in Mathematics and the Abel Prize. At the moment, there is an uproar on the Internet. He is the protagonist, and many scholars are denouncing his disqualification."
After talking about this situation, Yan You asked curiously: "Instructor, what's wrong?"
"This compatriot of yours actually studied mathematics and won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics and the Abel Prize. It is simply unimaginable. He submitted three papers to "Advanced Materials", and all three papers were published."
After being reminded by Yan You, Sneha remembered the more lively things recently.
A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said with emotion.
It is simply unimaginable that a genius who studied mathematics and won the Wolf Prize in Mathematics and the Abel Prize could have such attainments in the field of materials.
When Yan You heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
He can be Sneha's graduate student, and his study direction is naturally materials.
That’s why he understands how difficult the material major is and how irrelevant it is to the mathematics major.
"Teacher, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Yan You took the initiative to say goodbye.
Now he can't wait to go out immediately and spread the news he just learned.
… Things in the world are complicated, and no one can always occupy the hot spots.
Wang Donglai and the Wolf Prize in Mathematics did not dominate the hot searches for a long time.
After the melon-eating crowd watched the excitement for two days, the matter slowly fell silent.
But this is just the surface, but people in the industry have always paid attention to it.
As the first international top award winner to accept a pure Chinese professor, not only professors from major universities are paying attention, but even the officials are paying attention.
So, it didn’t take long.
Tangdu police issued a notice and arrested a group of people.
Things are exactly as Wang Donglai thought. Those comments that suddenly appeared were all trolls and organized.
As for the mastermind behind these navy forces, the police did not announce it, but Wang Donglai knew it.
A scholar from Sakura Country.
After knowing this, Wang Donglai did not change much on the surface, but he remembered this in his heart.
Why did the scholars of Sakura Country invite navy to slander Wang Donglai? No need to think about it, Wang Donglai knew why.
When ABC guessed, he completely offended all the scholars in Sakura Country.
Professor Mochizuki's status in Sakura Country is not low, and being slapped in the face by Wang Donglai like this naturally aroused strong resentment.
This time, after finding an opportunity, it seems normal for Wei Wei to take revenge.
……
April.
As the top journal in the field of materials, "Advanced Materials" will attract the attention of professionals every time it is released.
When this issue was released, many domestic scholars who paid attention to this journal were wide-eyed.
Beijing, Peking University.
“How is this possible?”
Professor Zhou Guang from the Department of Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology, holding the latest issue of this journal in his hand, said with wide eyes and surprise.
It is naturally impossible for Zhou Guang not to know Wang Donglai’s name. Although he is not from the Department of Mathematics, based on Wang Donglai’s current achievements, there are not many professors in domestic university circles who do not know Wang Donglai. .
As a professor at Peking University, Zhou Guang also knew one thing, that is, his school invited Wang Donglai twice to study at Peking University.
But they were all rejected by Wang Donglai.
As Wang Donglai's achievements became greater and greater, Jiaotong University in the Tang Dynasty became more and more supportive of Wang Donglai, and everyone in the northern Qing Dynasty also gave up this idea.
After reading the papers in the journal, Zhou Guang became more and more shocked.
"How could such technology be..."
Zhou Guang was both shocked and surprised.
"Isn't Wang Donglai studying mathematics? How can he still have such a strong talent in battery materials?"
"If he can devote all his energy to the battery industry, will it bring new innovations?" Change."
In just a few breaths, Zhou Guang thought about a lot.
As a professor in this area, he doesn't care whether breakthroughs in the field of mathematics are important or not.
This situation does not only happen at Peking University.
Professors from related majors in other universities have also seen the three papers in this issue of the journal.
Publish three papers in one go.
Moreover, the content of the paper is of high quality.
The truth shocked many professors from major universities who knew Wang Donglai’s situation.
Jiaotong University in the Tang Dynasty.
"I knew it, I knew it!"
When he saw three papers by Wang Donglai published in this issue of "Advanced Materials", Zhang Wenjie had a smile on his face.
In fact, after learning from the laboratory that Wang Donglai's experiment was successful and the project was successful, Zhang Wenjie has been paying attention to major journals.
Now, holding this latest journal, Zhang Wenjie went straight to Xu Songyao's office.
Soon he appeared in front of Xu Songyao.
"Xu Xiao, look at Professor Wang's publication of three more high-quality papers in Advanced Materials, which has made a huge contribution to the battery industry. This is a great thing!"
一When they met, Zhang Wenjie said excitedly.
Xu Songyao acted very calmly and did not become excited at all because of the news.
Taking the journal from Zhang Wenjie, Xu Songyao simply looked at it and put it down.
“Dean Zhang, are you coming to me just to congratulate me?”
Although Xu Songyao behaved kindly and approachable in front of Wang Donglai, in fact, as the vice president of Tangdu Jiaotong University, Xu Songyao also had a dignity about him.
Looking at Xu Songyao’s expression, Zhang Wenjie’s expression remained unchanged, and he immediately grinned and said: “Xu Xiao, I just think that since Professor Wang has a talent in this area, our School of Chemistry should give strong support to the battery matter. Regarding energy, it is of great importance. If we If the school can make a breakthrough in this, it will definitely lead our school's ranking to improve a few places."
"Oh, what do you think the School of Chemistry should do to support it?" Xu Songyao asked Zhang Wenjie. Not surprised, he asked calmly.
“I feel that with Professor Wang’s level of ability, he can definitely serve as a professor in the Department of Chemistry, whether he is a substitute teacher or a tutor for graduate students.”
“In addition, our chemistry The college also has many research projects and experimental bases in this area, all of which are open to Professor Wang. Even if it is research funds, our college will try its best to use them for Professor Wang’s research.”
Zhang Wenjie's eyes were firm, and he was extremely serious when he said these words.
"Well, your idea is good, but the person you should go to is Wang Donglai, instead of coming here to tell me this."
Xu Songyao sat on the chair, calmly said.
"Xu Xiao, isn't this the last time my invitation was rejected, so I want to try from your side. Our School of Chemistry will never treat Professor Wang badly." Zhang Wenjie did not deliberately hide it. He said his thoughts directly.
Xu Songyao shook his head helplessly. In fact, when he saw Zhang Wenjie, he knew his purpose.
"The Department of Mathematics finally got Wang Donglai, and they will definitely not let him go. The Department of Computer Science also wants to poach him, and now your School of Chemistry is here too, wanting to poach him."
"They are all the same as you, If he makes achievements in other fields in the future, wouldn't he have to change places again?"
"Both the left and right are from the same school, why should they be so clearly distinguished. Chu.”
“I remember that our school does not stipulate that professors from the Department of Mathematics cannot participate in the scientific research projects of the School of Chemistry. Tolerance, tolerance, and openness are the attitudes we should maintain.”
"Go down and talk to Wang Dong yourself about these matters. If he is willing and you persuade him to do so, I agree with both hands."
"However, I will never allow anyone to have other ideas. At Tangdu Jiaotong University, as long as I am still alive, I will never allow those nasty things to happen."
At the end, Xu Songyao's expression He became extremely serious, stared at Zhang Wenjie and said loudly.
Zhang Wenjie naturally understood what Xu Songyao meant and nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"Don't worry, Colonel Xu, I still understand which is more important."
