Chapter 216 Submission to Nature magazine opens a new chapter in the world of physics(2/2)

Campbell was once an associate professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Manchester. Later, he felt that he was not suitable for scientific research, so he put down his work and became an editor at Nature magazine.

As it turned out, the editing job suited him well.

Campbell has been working for more than ten years and has reached the position of editor-in-chief. He will be very focused on reviewing every submission.

It's not easy.

Every year, more than 10,000 high-level papers are submitted to "Nature", including hundreds of physics papers. These are just "high-level" papers, and there are countless low-level and ordinary papers.

Campbell was reviewing manuscripts normally that day, and suddenly saw a submitted superconducting paper called "Superconducting Laws and Critical Constants."

He glanced at it and was shocked.

The law of superconductivity?

Critical constant?

These few words put together are absolutely extraordinary. Because they are so extraordinary, ordinary manuscripts can be put directly into the trash can.

Just like submitting proofs of world-famous conjectures to top journals, there have always been many similar papers, but more than 99.9% of them are meaningless.

However, out of caution, Campbell took another look and was attracted by the author's name.

"Is this right, Wang Hao?"

"This name seems familiar? It comes from the Physics Laboratory of Xihai University in China? Xihai University, Wang Hao..."

"The youngest Fields winner!"

Campbell's eyes widened suddenly, and he quickly downloaded the paper.

Such an important research paper, if it were a research paper by other small institutions, would not be ignored at all, but with Wang Hao's name, it is different. Can the submission of a Fields winner be deleted at will?

Even if you can’t figure out why a Fields winner would submit a physics paper to Nature magazine, you still have to read the content.

Soon Campbell was drawn to the content.

What it says is that a series of experiments were conducted to explain the superconducting phenomenon by establishing a 'microscopic morphology', and a formula was completed.

"Using this formula, the constants mentioned above, combined with microscopic morphological framework analysis, can we calculate the superconducting critical temperature of a single element?"

"How can this be!"

"If it is true, wouldn't the mechanism logic of superconductivity be cracked?"

Campbell subconsciously didn't believe it, but considering it was the thesis of the youngest Fields winner, he continued to submit the paper.

The paper quickly reached the editor-in-chief Magdalena Skipper.

As the editor-in-chief of Nature magazine, Magdalena Skipper is rarely responsible for reviewing manuscripts, and the manuscripts that are sent to her are also very rare.

Therefore, Magdalena Skipper will attach great importance to the papers submitted to the next level, because each one must be a major research.

Magdalena Skipper's reaction to seeing the content of the paper was the same as Campbell's. For a paper like this, it is impossible to determine whether it is true or false just by looking at it.

She immediately contacted an expert in the relevant field, Professor Seamus Evatt of Oxford University.

Seamus Avatt is an expert in condensed matter physics and a special reviewer of Nature magazine.

After reading the paper, Seamus Evatt was also very shocked by the content. He tried to understand "microscopic morphology" and wanted to use it to make calculations. Later, he found that it involved mathematical topology problems because it involved review.

I kept the manuscript confidential and contacted Magdalena Skipper to tell me my needs.

Magdalena Skipper contacted Steven Davis, a mathematician in the field of topology.

Steven Davis and Seamus Evatt came together to do calculations. Because the content was so shocking, they even calculated continuously for seven hours. Using the methods, formulas and constants mentioned above, they continuously calculated aluminum.

Superconducting values ​​of tungsten and zinc.

Then comparing the determined values, it was found that the deviation was less than one percent.

"Zinc, that's right too!"

"We have done three consecutive calculations and there are no problems. I believe other superconducting metals will also have problems. In other words, is this true?"

"Is there really a so-called law of superconductivity?"

"The superconducting properties of elements can be calculated. Then compounds and organic molecules can definitely be calculated in the future. Isn't the mechanism of superconductivity equivalent to being cracked?"

"I am now very sure that this is definitely the most significant development in the field of superconductivity in decades, even more amazing than the work of Bardeen, Cooper and Xu River!"

"This is a Nobel-level achievement..."

Steven Davis and Seamus Evatt looked at each other with deep shock in their eyes.

They know that as long as the paper is published, the impact will definitely be huge.

A new round of superconducting competition in physics is coming soon!
