Chapter 52 Give me back the Nobel Prize! (Seeking further study)
Principal Gu studied physics when he was young. After receiving his doctorate, he conducted in-depth research on nanometer quantum structures.
Later, he switched to studying materials science, and the focus of his research was on carbon nanotubes.
In other words, President Gu is a scholar of both physics and materials science. His understanding of graphene, a new material, is absolutely professional. In terms of theory, he is no less than an expert in atomic physics, and in terms of practicality, he is also at a professional level. The level of materials science expert.
Because of this, when Principal Gu learned that graphene had been successfully produced, he immediately realized that this was a Nobel Prize-level achievement.
Later, Principal Gu learned that the author of the paper was actually from Tsinghua University!
This overwhelming wealth fell down, causing Principal Gu to hold a quick-acting Jiuxin Pill under his tongue.
Nobel Prize-level results! Tsinghua University actually produced a Nobel Prize-level result!
It has been almost a hundred years since Tsinghua University was founded, and the Nobel Prize is finally about to be awarded!
And it’s the same as my major, which is materials science! This has helped me fulfill my dream when I was young!
President Gu immediately called Professor Wu to confirm the author's identity. When he learned that the author's identity was unknown, he began to use his connections in the United States.
The author of the paper is indeed from Tsing University. Although he is an undergraduate, it does not matter. As long as the person is from Tsing University, then the scientific research results are also from Tsing University!
However, the person ran away! I just ran it last month!
The Nobel Prize results I just received flew away!
Principal Gu’s sixty-year-old body cannot bear the feeling of riding a roller coaster from the sky to the earth!
...
As soon as Dean Shen walked into the door of the Department of Electronic Engineering, the security guard came up to him excitedly.
"Dean, Principal Gu is here!"
"Who?" Dean Shen asked subconsciously.
"Principal Gu, you have been in the reception room for more than twenty minutes."
"You're here before 7:30? Even my dog wakes up earlier!"
Dean Shen quickly took three steps at a time and ran to the reception room.
Principal Gu's face was not pretty, and his eyes seemed a bit resentful.
"With those little eyes, I think the person who came here is not good. He must have gotten up early and is angry! I have to deal with it carefully and don't offend him."
Dean Shen He thought to himself, and then asked with a smile on his face: "Principal Gu, why are you here! Have you had breakfast? If not, can I have some with you?"
"Still having breakfast? I'm so angry with you!" Principal Gu snorted coldly.
"Look what you said, who dares to make you angry! If we do something bad, feel free to criticize us, we will work hard to improve!"
Meet Shen Yuan The principal lowered his attitude, and Principal Gu didn't complain too much. He asked: "Shen Jiahai, I heard that Zhang Wei, who scored 750 points in the college entrance examination, was kicked out by you?"
Principal Gu called him by his first name. , representing his dissatisfaction.
"Principal, please listen to my explanation. This matter is really not our fault. Zhang Wei entered the laboratory without permission and used experimental equipment. This is against school regulations."
"Then you guys just kicked people out? Are geniuses with perfect scores in the college entrance examination just like this?"
"Genius? Your genius ranked last in the department in the final exam?"
Dean Shen complained in his heart, and then explained: "We didn't fire him right away. We originally planned to give him another chance and keep him in school for probation first, but it turned out that this kid was stubborn and thought we were really going to fire him. He was afraid I couldn't bear to lose face, so I applied to drop out of school."
"You didn't try to persuade him again?"
"We all told him at the time that there was still room for him. But this kid has such a brain that he can't turn a corner on his own!" Dean Shen said with an innocent look.
"Many well-known scientists are obsessed with scientific research. It is normal for their heads to spin when they encounter some mundane things. But you can't just follow your brains and stop spinning!" Principal Gu scolded.
"Scientist? Well-known? Does this have anything to do with Zhang Wei? He is not a well-known scientist!"
Dean Shen thought so in his heart, but did not dare to ask. .
Principal Gu continued: "You just said that Zhang Wei went to the laboratory privately. What did he do?" "Actually, there was no loss. Didn't our laboratory just install a transmission electron microscope last year? As for the microscope, he moved the equipment and said it was observing the residue after burning. Fortunately, it was the residue after burning. If he had directly observed the white phosphorus, wouldn’t the laboratory have exploded?”
Dean Shen's last sentence emphasized that Zhang Wei violated school rules and was likely to have serious consequences, and also provided justification for Zhang Wei's expulsion.
Principal Gu said, "There should be experimental data from that time, right? Take me to see it!"
Dean Shen didn't know why, so he had to bring Principal Gu to the Before the laboratory.
The deleted data at that time has been recovered and has not been deleted. It can be retrieved with a few clicks of the mouse.
Looking at the picture of graphene on the screen, Principal Gu's breathing became rapid.
"Graphene, yes, this is graphene!"
After all, Principal Gu has studied atomic physics and carbon nanometers, and he also read the paper before coming here, so he confirmed at a glance that this It's a picture of graphene.
“Now I can 100% confirm that graphene was really made by Zhang Wei!”
Previously, Principal Gu still had a trace of doubt in his heart. After all, he created it at the age of 19. Such scientific research results are indeed incredible. Even with the identification number given by "Science", Principal Gu still can't believe it 100%.
Now that I see the photo of graphene, Principal Gu really believes it. Scientists believe in science, and the real scientific research results are in front of them, which is definitely more convincing than the string of numbers on the ID card.
"Come and take a look, is this structure phosphorus?" Principal Gu asked, pointing to the photo.
Dean Shen came over to take a look, and then said: "The six-membered ring structure is consistent with the molecular structure of burned white phosphorus."
"Look carefully, this is not a six-membered ring structure. It's a hexagonal structure!"
"Huh? It's really hexagonal! This is not burned white phosphorus!" Dean Shen looked at the data again and his expression changed drastically.
"Thickness less than 1 nanometer? Atomic level! What element is this?"
"It's carbon, an atomic-level carbon film!" Principal Gu reminded.
"Graphene! Graphene! Is this graphene!" Dean Shen exclaimed, and then said ecstatically: "Principal Gu, did you see it? We made graphene!"
Principal Gu had a stern look on his face: "I saw it. Not only did I see it, but the whole world saw it! It was published in Science!"
"Published in Science? "Who published it?" Dean Shen asked three times, just like asking for monthly tickets and rewards. Next time, it will be as smooth as before.
“Who else? Who did this laboratory? Zhang Wei!”
"Oh, yes, he did this experiment!" Dean Shen finally realized what he was doing. He asked secretly: "Principal, you mean that Zhang Wei made graphene? And published a paper? "
"What do you think?"
"Graphene, so many scientists have been working on it for almost twenty years, but they haven't made it yet. Principal, you haven't made it yet? Are you kidding me?"
Principal Gu pointed to the transmission electron microscope: "I'm not kidding, it's a joke!"
Of course the electron microscope can't be joking, Principal Gu is doing this. Deliberately mocking people!
Dean Shen didn't pay attention. At this time, he was already in shock. As a professor of engineering, he certainly knew what graphene meant.
Just listen to him muttering to himself: "This may be regarded as a Nobel Prize-level achievement!"
"You also know that this is also a Nobel Prize-level achievement? Then you still give people to Did I open it? It’s been a hundred years since we, Tsinghua University, finally produced a Nobel Prize-level result, and the whole of China finally got a Nobel Prize-level result, and you got it!
Shen Jiahai, your Department of Electronic Engineering! What are you doing for food? Have you ever been kicked in the head by a donkey? You don’t want the Nobel Prize, I want it!”
Dean Gu became more and more angry. Such a well-educated intellectual, They were all forced to start cursing.
Give me back the Nobel Prize!
Thank you for your monthly votes and rewards! Book friends who are urging me to update, don't worry, Guan Guan has been working hard to write. But after all, I am older and no longer as energetic as those young people. I can only do my best, and it will be considered as living up to your monthly votes.
