Chapter 116 You Amazed Me Again
Chapter 116 You surprised me again
Hearing Xu You's nonchalant answer, Lin Shi and Luo Wenkun couldn't help but exclaimed "Holy shit".
Even Lou Song shrugged, saying that this was indeed a bit unbelievable.
"No, Xu You, when did you publish another Nature article? Is it really as easy as drinking water for you to publish a paper in Nature?" Lin Shi said.
"I said before that Xu You was a god, but you still didn't believe it. Now you know, this is simply not something a human can do."
"Okay, okay, you go and do your work, don't delay the submission of the paper. I will handle the project application, Lou Song, you don't need to worry about this, I will contact you when there is news. Well,
I’ll just create a group in a while, and if you have anything to do, just talk in the group.”
"Okay, I'll excuse you. I'm leaving first."
After arriving at Qiao Sen's office, Qiao Sen and Xu You talked about some areas that needed to be revised in this paper.
There are not too many things that need to be modified, but apart from these, Qiaosen also said some other things.
The editor of Nature also spoke highly of the value of this paper.
This was a very rare thing before.
Although it seems that the superconductivity of iron atom clusters and the previous superconductivity of aluminum atom clusters are somewhat homogeneous.
But in fact, in addition to the special structure of atomic clusters, the superconductivity of iron atomic clusters has another meaning.
Because iron is a special metal with strong magnetism.
This is also a very special property in the field of superconductors.
This kind of superconductor with both magnetic and electrical conductivity is likely to be used in the field of molecular electronic devices in the future.
If some molecular electronic devices could be made from this special superconductor.
It is possible to replace solid electronic components such as silicon-based semiconductor transistors to assemble logic circuits or even complete molecular computers.
When researching this topic, Xu You did not know that the superconductivity of iron clusters would be of such great significance.
After listening to Qiao Sen's story, Xu You suddenly thought of something.
"Teacher Qiao, so the results of this project may be of some help to the field of superconducting quantum computers?"
"Yes, this is indeed the case in theory. Molecular devices assembled based on this kind of atomic clusters may be used to create more tightly integrated devices, memories with faster data processing speeds, and even be used in quantum computers.
"
After hearing Qiao Sen's words, Xu You also fell into deep thought.
Because this property is closely related to the project direction of the "island" quantum computer assigned by the Qiaosen Laboratory.
"Teacher Qiao, otherwise this paper should not be published in Nature."
Xu You has just published an article in "Nature", and he already takes this kind of honor lightly.
Anyway, it has basically passed the review of "Nature", which has affirmed Xu You's scientific research achievements.
When Xu You said this, Qiao Sen was also a little surprised.
"Xu You, you don't need to have any psychological burden. This only shows that materials such as iron atom clusters may be helpful to quantum computers. Moreover, even if you send it, it does not represent other laboratories.
Then we can completely repeat our research. After all, many things cannot be reflected in the paper, and you don’t have to give up the opportunity to publish in Nature because of these problems.”
Although for the sake of the "Island" plan, it might be better not to release "Nature".
But such behavior is undoubtedly a kind of moral kidnapping.
Qiao Sen had no reason to help Xu You make a decision.
"Teacher, for me, it doesn't matter if I publish a Nature article. Anyway, I have just published an article. In fact, this experiment is relatively easy to repeat on the whole. Since my dad can make this kind of material, the United States
Scientists can still do it. What I’m worried about now is that the editor of Nature has already read this paper. Even if I don’t publish it, the United States may know about this research result?”
Xu You doesn't particularly care about the honor brought by a "Nature" article.
To a certain extent, as long as it can ensure that Xu You can obtain sufficient scientific research resources.
Xu You doesn't care about those honors.
A lot of really great scientists.
They are also conducting research quietly and do not receive a lot of attention like celebrities.
Xu You also yearns for such a low-key and fulfilling life.
However, Xu You is worried that it may be too late to cancel the plan to publish the paper now.
"Because we are only in the review and rejection stage, and it has not yet reached formal acceptance, even if we don't send them the revised paper later, there is no problem according to the rules. If they think your paper is particularly good, they may urge you later.
For a moment, ask why the revised paper has not been published yet. In this case, we need to give a defensible reason. As you said, even if it is not published, will the American Congress know about this research result? In principle, it must be
It’s confidential, but there are at least three reviewers who have read this paper.”
After hearing what Qiao Sen said, Xu You also felt that there was still a possibility of the news being leaked.
"Of course, taking a step back, even if a reviewer of Nature tells this news to a researcher, and then the researcher starts the experiment from scratch and publishes the paper, the cycle will be at least as long as
It will take a few months. In this way, I will contact Academician Han Shubin to see what Academician Han thinks of this result, and then make follow-up plans."
"Okay, then I'll trouble the teacher."
In any case, Qiao Sen still did not expect that Xu You would be so willing to cancel the publication of a paper that had passed the review in "Nature".
Qiao Sen couldn't help but sigh again.
This time, Xu You impressed him again.
But this time, it wasn't because of Xu You's extremely strong scientific research ability.
It is the kind of broad-mindedness that has the country at heart and is willing to sacrifice small gains for the sake of greater justice.
"Okay, then I'll contact Academician Han Shubin."
"Teacher, I will also tell my father that the material of iron clusters will be kept secret for the time being."
"You are quite thoughtful. Okay, go and talk to Professor Xu."
Qiao Sen had to admire Xu You's calm performance.
At this time, I could still think of reminding Xuzhou about confidential information.
If it were anyone else, let alone informing them that "Nature" is over.
Even if you tell them that your graduation thesis has been drafted, you will be so happy that you may even have to run three laps around campus to celebrate.
Xu You turned on his mobile phone and left a message to Xu Zhou.
"Professor Xu, please keep the matter of iron cluster materials confidential. Please do not release any results to the outside world before I give you the news."
Xu Zhou was a little confused when he saw Xu You's message.
"What's going on? Has this paper been reviewed?"
Chapter completed!
