Chapter 269: Division of Labor and Cooperation

After explaining his thoughts from beginning to end, Lu Zhou formulated a big framework for the whole topic.

This framework contains the problems that need to be considered to solve this proposition, the ideas for solving this proposition, and most importantly, how to extend the "group construction method" to this problem.

After all, this is his most powerful weapon.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhou assigned everyone's work.

Hardy is an active thinker and is responsible for collecting literature and coming up with ideas.

Qin Yue is good at calculations, and he should be a good partner.

As for Vera, her style is probably similar to herself, and she belongs to the type that is good at independent thinking. Forcing such a talent into a brainstorming research environment would affect her normal performance, and Professor Deligne had similar considerations in the first place, so he let him choose whether to join his "standard conjecture" project.

After some consideration, Lu Zhou finally decided to divide her into Group B, and promote this topic simultaneously with Hadi and Qin Yue in Group A.

That is, to conduct independent research on the different issues involved in the proposition, and to exchange views at the frequency of two seminars per week, and to report on the situation at an internal report once a month.

This model is very common in some large research teams, because some awesome bosses usually take a lot of students and crammed a dozen students into a team, which will affect the research efficiency because the team is too bloated.

Lu Zhou also learned these experiences from other professors at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.

Just as Lu Zhou was assigning everyone's tasks, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the office.

Lu Zhou was about to open the door, but the Hadi kid stood up very consciously and walked towards the door.

The door to his office opened, and it was Professor Chirick who appeared in the doorway.

As soon as Professor Chiric, who was tall, entered the door, he walked past the Brazilian guy next to him and walked towards Lu Zhou with an excited expression.

"You sent that paper?! The one in Nature? No, I mean, that LuZhou, is it really the same person as you? ”

Because he was too excited, his voice was a little incoherent, and when he pronounced Lu Zhou's name, he even pronounced it in the wrong tone.

Worried that this guy would suddenly give him a hug, Lu Zhou took half a step back and looked him up and down: "...... Yes, what's the problem? ”

Could it be that there is another Professor Lu in Princeton besides him?

Professor Chirik didn't hug him excitedly, took a deep breath, and calmed down.

Immediately after, he sighed in disbelief.

"God...... You're a genius! ”

This sycophant came unexpectedly.

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly, coughed lightly and said, "I'm not God......"

Professor Chirik, who was already out of breath, almost choked on Lu Zhou's words.

I saw him cough violently twice and said, "That's a mood particle, I'm not saying that you are God, please don't misunderstand...... Speaking of, how do you do that? Computational analytical products of materials science? Or can you estimate a range? ”

What Professor Chirick is most curious about is not why the modified PDMS film produces such a miraculous effect, but how Professor Lu Zhou discovered this product.

Although computational materials science has made good progress in the field of organic synthesis, such a major research result is unheard of. The mainstream practice is to repeat the test, analyze the properties of the material, and then do the experiment, then analyze, and finally run in a suitable result.

Not only him, but I believe that many people are full of interest in this issue.

Lu Zhou knew very well what he was curious about, and he was not too surprised by this.

In fact, when he studied computational materials, he did summarize some useful techniques when building mathematical models.

Although this anode material was swept out by him with a scanning gun......

After thinking about it, Lu Zhou spoke.

"I can't tell you clearly for a while, but I've already sent me an invitation letter, and I'll report on the details at the report venue, if you're interested, don't miss my report."

"MRS? Don't worry, I certainly won't miss it! To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that I had too many things to do, I would have even wanted to come to you for further study. Professor Chirik joked in a tone that didn't seem like a joke.

Of course, Lu Zhou didn't take his words seriously, and said with a smile: "If you are interested in number theory, I don't mind accepting a professor as a doctor." As for computational materials science, this course is still being planned. To be honest, I haven't even figured out what kind of format this course should take. ”

"Anyway, Princeton 'accidentally' gave birth to another billionaire," Professor Chirick patted Lu Zhou's arm and said with a smile, "I know you high school math professors are not interested in money, but anyway, you must treat me to a drink." Don't forget, I borrowed the lab! ”

Billionaires are exaggerated, but multimillionaires are still not difficult.

Lu Zhou smiled and nodded: "Definitely." ”

Professor Chirik is gone, just as he came in a hurry, and he is also a meteor in stride.

The three students in the office all looked at their boss in a daze, staring at his back.

Looking back, Lu Zhou found that the three people were looking at him, he was slightly stunned, and then waved his hand.

"What do you see me doing, what do you have to do?"

Qin Yue and Hardy glanced at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Although they couldn't understand what the boss and the white professor were discussing, the billionaires they could understand.

I always feel ......

It seems to be following a terrible boss.

……

The other side of the Pacific.

In Jinling University, in the carbon nanomaterials laboratory, the experiment has entered the second half.

Under the instruction of Professor Li Rongen, Qian Zhongming put the prepared battery sample on the electron microscope and connected it to the BK-6808 rechargeable battery tester.

As the sample pictures continued to be collected, Professor Li Rongen's expression became more and more serious.

I don't know how long it has been.

Staring at the computer screen, he suddenly smiled.

"Awesome ......"

Shaking his head with a smile, Professor Li Rongen took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, although he only said two words, but the emotion in his heart could not be stopped.

In the case of ordinary lithium batteries, even if the toughness of the film is, the charging reaction will start to generate dead lithium under the nucleation effect at the tip.

However, this inconspicuous modified PDMS material can obtain a lithium anode material that can inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites through several uncomplicated processes such as hydrofluoric acid treatment of polydimethylsiloxane, as well as the final spin coating film.

This reminded him of the ABX3 crystalline perovskite photovoltaic material in 2013, which was rated as one of the world's top ten scientific breakthroughs by Science, which suddenly pushed the concept of solar energy to a new height.

At that time, many people were also surprised, because the preparation of this material is simply too simple, mix two salts, stir them, spin coat them, and then dry them.

And this PDMS material also has the same effect.

The manufacturing process involved is not complicated, and the raw materials required are not very expensive.

It is this kind of thing that the industry really needs.

Liu Bo, who was standing next to Qian Zhongming, couldn't help but sigh.

"This guy is a genius......"

"Yes," Qian Zhongming pushed his glasses and nodded in agreement, "It's a genius." ”

Thinking of how these devices were operated, and he taught him at the beginning, Qian Zhongming couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Is computational materials science really so amazing?

Perhaps, the next time we meet, we will have to ask him for math problems.

Staring at the images continuously captured by the electron microscope, Professor Li Rongen thought for a long time and suddenly spoke.

"I'm going to go to the United States for this year's MRS conference, which of you will go with me?"

Hardly any hesitation, Qian Zhongming and Liu Bo raised their hands at the same time.

Obviously, none of them wanted to miss this meeting.

Guessing that this would be the case, Professor Li smiled and shook his head.

"Well, let's go together."
