Chapter 127 You are about to create big news in the academic world again
During Ning Chen’s research on new iron-based superconducting materials, a lot of achievements have been accumulated.
At this time, it is time to sort out the results and write a paper and submit it.
These new superconductors currently discovered by Ning Chen have superconducting critical temperatures ranging from 5K to 40K.
The superconducting critical temperature of these materials does not allow them to be called high-temperature superconductors, and their application value is also very limited.
But from an academic point of view, these research results are undoubtedly of great academic value and will be of great help to mankind to continue to improve the theory of superconductivity and continue to explore superconducting materials.
Next, Ning Chen first added all the 1,000 energy points just rewarded by the system to his own mental index.
Although Ning Chen used twice as many energy points this time as last time, the improvement in his brain power index was only more than twenty points.
Of course, such an increase in brain power index is very significant for Ning Chen’s brain power.
The feeling of warm current flowing through the brain appeared again. Ning Chen didn't bother to rest, and took advantage of the situation to immediately start writing the paper.
Ning Chen clearly felt that after his mental power was greatly enhanced again, his work efficiency had also been significantly improved compared to before.
During the entire project, Ning Chen summarized various experimental data, phenomena, theories, etc. The amount of information was very large, and the total amount even exceeded a thousand pages.
But since Ning Chen can search and organize this information very clearly, in fact, every detail in it has been deeply imprinted in Ning Chen's mind.
……
After a week, Ning Chen finally completed the writing of the paper.
Even though Ning Chen had done everything possible to streamline the various results during the experiment, the final paper still had dozens of pages.
Ning Chen divided it into three parts. The results of each part are of very high academic value when taken separately.
After finishing the paper, Ning Chen thought about it and decided to tell Xu Zhou about it.
Although Ning Chen now also assumes the responsibility of the corresponding author, Xu Zhou is his instructor after all.
Even if Xu Zhou is not directly responsible for these papers, he must at least let Xu Zhou know about the submission of the papers.
Ning Chen found Xu Zhou and told Xu Zhou that he had finished writing his thesis.
“Not bad, I finished writing the paper so quickly. After accumulating results for such a long time, the paper must be very long.”
“Yes, even if I have already written it It's very concise, but it still adds up to dozens of pages. I divided them into three parts. If they were put together, it would be too long."
As he said that, Ning Chen put the paper together. The first draft was shown to Xu Zhou.
Because the paper was too long, Xu Zhou did not read it carefully, but just glanced at it in general.
Of course, because Xu Zhou had been paying attention to Ning Chen's experimental progress, Xu Zhou basically understood the structure of Ning Chen's paper just by taking a rough look.
"Yes, although it is divided into three parts, the academic value of each part is very high. Ning Chen, how do you plan to deliver these papers?"
"Teacher Xu, I I feel that putting these results together will provide greater coherence. "Mr. Xu, what do you think?"
"Ning Chen, you mean...to put these three papers together." Package it and submit it to "Nature"?"
Ning Chen nodded lightly when he heard this and waited for Xu Zhou's opinion.
"Ning Chen, you really have great ideas. If you can really publish three papers in "Nature", then you will create big news in the academic world."
For many scholars In other words, being able to publish an article in "Nature" once in a while is already something worth showing off.
Of course, judging from the quality of Ning Chen’s three papers, it is very possible to publish it in Nature.
After all, Ning Chen has developed a brand new superconducting system. It is not as simple as just discovering a new superconductor by accident.
"I think you can still give it a try. Then Ning Chen, I will do it according to your ideas. Because this is your own paper, the main work of paper delivery, review and proofreading is It's up to you to handle it yourself." Ning Chen also knew that since he was already the corresponding author, he could no longer leave these tasks to Xu Zhou.
After so many experiences in submitting papers, Ning Chen also has the confidence to complete these tasks on his own.
“Okay, Teacher Xu, then I will refine and proofread the paper, and then prepare it for submission.”
Recently, Xuzhou’s main focus has been on Pia Ning Chen did not want to disturb Xu Zhou too much, so he started revising the paper by himself.
The amount of information in these three papers was very large. Ning Chen revised them for several days in a row before finally being satisfied with the revised papers.
After completing these tasks, Ning Chen submitted these three papers to the delivery mailbox of "Nature".
This time, Ning Chen did not submit in his own name, but from Shengzhou University as the corresponding author.
Submitting the paper through the school can make it easier for the paper to be accepted by the journal. After the paper is successfully published, it can also meet the school's various paper reward policies and receive rewards from the school.
After finally completing the submission of these three papers, Ning Chen sat at his desk in the evening, thinking about the next research plan.
In the days to come, Ning Chen will definitely devote more energy to the research of new silicon-based anode materials.
After all, this is a topic that I and Xu Zhou are mainly responsible for. Once a result with application value is developed, I and Xu Zhou will each own 50% of the patent rights.
Due to the previous research on superconducting projects, Ning Chen invested relatively limited energy in the project of negative electrode materials for lithium batteries.
If this continues, even if it does produce results, Ning Chen will be embarrassed to share half of the patent ownership.
But at the same time, Ning Chen does not want to devote all his energy to this project, because research on superconductivity is far from over.
Ning Chen feels that the new iron-based superconducting system he discovered can be further expanded and some more complex structures added to it.
Thinking of this, Ning Chen continued to analyze the theories in previous experiments and thought about future research directions.
The previous two consecutive significant increases in the brain power index have indeed greatly improved Ning Chen's thinking ability.
After several hours of intense thinking, Ning Chen has identified several possible future research directions.
“The core of the new superconducting system is still the FeSe layer. But in this, we can consider adding some more complex structures, such as ammonium radicals, other metal elements, hydroxide radicals, and even their Combination structures, etc. ”
With these possible research directions, Ning Chen has more confidence to continue to make further progress in the field of superconductivity research.
The next day, Ning Chen came to the laboratory and first started working on silicon-based anode materials.
Because of the next topic related to superconductivity, Ning Chen still needs to plan it carefully and is not in a hurry to start the experiment right away.
Seeing Ning Chen coming over, Xu Zhou was in a good mood.
With Ning Chen here, the progress of the project will definitely increase a lot.
“Ning Chen, have those three papers been submitted?”
"Well, the submission has been completed. And Teacher Xu, I have begun to have some ideas about the future research direction."
Hearing Ning Chen's words, Xu Zhou couldn't help but feel very surprised.
During Ning Chen’s scientific research process, was there never a bottleneck stage?
"Teacher Xu, don't worry, I just have some preliminary ideas. I haven't figured out how to carry out the experiment yet. Now I still want to work with you on this horizontal topic. Finished."
"Haha, it doesn't matter, you should definitely focus on your own topic. These days, the progress of this project is still very smooth, of course, if you are here, the progress of the project will definitely be. Smoother.”
Through previous research, the experimental team has successfully synthesized a fiber-type silicon-carbon composite material. Compared with previous anode materials, various properties have been improved to varying degrees.
"Teacher Xu, the application value of this new material is better than the previous materials, right?"
"Just judging from the properties of this material at this stage, That is indeed the case, but this material is still in the experimental stage, and some key issues are still unresolved.”
