"A cage structure without translational symmetry can be disassembled into a tubular structure and a translationally symmetrical cage structure, where the cage structure has lh point group symmetry, and the surface of the tubular structure contains two Stone-wales topological defects."

"The overlap of π with the π* level is due to the introduction of a Stone-wales topological defect, which causes the opening of 0.06 eV and 0.04 eV band gaps on its surface, respectively, so that the explanation is ......"

"In other words, because of the introduction of carbon nanotubes, the transport performance of carbon nanospheres has been enhanced."

"I'm a genius!"

Along the way, Lu Zhou's mouth was full of words, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

The students and even professors who met him in the corridors and stairs subconsciously got out of the way.

It's not that it's a hit, but it's worried about interrupting the big guy's train of thought.

For the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, this is a common occurrence, and who hasn't gotten carried away with excitement at a sudden inspiration?

Because they are the same kind of people, they understand this feeling better than anyone else......

……

After returning home, Lu Zhou locked himself in his hut and began a new round of retreat.

Splitting the asymmetrical spherical structure into a cylinder and a symmetrical spherical structure, although Vera did not solve this problem, her idea brought considerable inspiration to Lu Zhou.

If this idea is feasible, the problem of preparing such carbon nanospheres in the laboratory can also be solved.

Because both carbon nanotubes and fullerene materials can be prepared by existing technical means, the difficulty lies at most in how to reconstruct chemical bonds and synthesize two large molecules with completely different structures into a molecule with a larger spatial volume and a more complex structure.

And so it went on for a week.

Lu Zhou spent almost all of his day, except for eating and sleeping, building this mathematical model.

Finally, on the second Monday after New Year's Day, he completed the initial establishment of this mathematical model.

"All that's left is to refine the mathematical model, and then buy a research team to verify these possibilities through repeated experiments."

Stretching his waist and leaning back in his chair, Lu Zhou looked at the research results of the past week, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.

The feeling of being rich is different.

In the past, he had to rub other people's equipment to do experiments, but now he doesn't even need to do any experiments himself, so he just buys a few pieces of equipment and asks a few PHDs to do it for him.

Of course, if you want to save money, Lu Zhou also has other options. For example, write these mathematical models in the paper and publish them in advance, so that other research teams can do the work for themselves.

It is believed that with his achievements in computational materials science, many research teams should be interested in his new paper and will pay for these results to be tested for him out of their own pockets.

However, the patent rights may be in the hands of the research team that has done the work.

Even if it is not sure whether this patent has huge commercial value like modified PDMS film, but after all, it is a black technology of the system, and Lu Zhou still wants to hold it in his own hands.

What if you use it one day?

Twenty years is such a long time, and it's hard to say what happened in the intervening period.

Standing up from the chair, Lu Zhou moved his limbs and was about to go to the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee.

However, just then, the sound of the doorbell came from downstairs.

Probably guessing who was looking for him, he went down the stairs to the living room, walked to the entrance and opened the door.

Not surprisingly, Mr. Woolf stood in the doorway with his briefcase in his hand, a big smile on his face.

"It's a pleasure to meet again, Professor Lu, how was Christmas?"

Holding his outstretched right hand, Lu Zhou smiled and said, "It's not bad, come in and talk...... What do you want to drink? ”

"Thanks, a glass of water will do."

The two sat down in the living room, and Woolf opened the briefcase, took out a stack of papers from it, and handed it to Lu Zhou.

"According to your requirements, we have already helped you plan the structure of your business, and here is a list of budget expenses. If you think it's okay, we'll rent an office in Philadelphia and hire staff according to the standards in this document......"

Taking the stack of papers from Mr. Woolf's hand, Lu Zhou took it and looked through it cursoryly.

At his request, AM registered his parent company in the Cayman Islands and a branch office in the United States, mainly engaged in intellectual property.

Although there is only one Belgian Umicore Group, there is still a market in China waiting for Star Technology to develop.

Analyzing the market size, reasonably pricing patent fees, and negotiating patent fees with chemical companies, Lu Zhou didn't want to waste his precious time on these issues, and hiring someone to do it for him was naturally the best choice.

And the cost he needs to pay for this is only a little interest on his bank account.

"I'm very satisfied with your plan, so let's follow this plan. Also, schedule a time for business executives to come to Princeton and meet with me. ”

Putting this plan aside, Lu Zhou suddenly thought of something, so he continued.

"By the way, if a research institution in the United States is acquired by a parent company registered in the Cayman Islands, will the intellectual property income generated by the research institution be included in the scope of taxation by the IRS?"

Woolf smiled and said, "Of course not, when do you see when Microsoft and Google have paid taxes on intellectual property income?" They can even benefit from a U.S.-based tax rebate on their overseas IP income. ”

Damn, are you so fat?

Lu Zhou was suddenly shocked.

Woolf, who sat across from him, had a different focus.

Sensing Franklin's scent keenly from Lu Zhou's few words, he continued eagerly.

"If you need legal help with your intellectual property cooperation, please contact me. Our services in intellectual property are absolutely world-class! ”

didn't believe him to brag, Lu Zhou smiled.

Originally, he didn't plan to discuss this matter with this guy, but after thinking about it, it seems that AM Firm's clients are concentrated in the materials science world, and it seems that there is really no one more suitable to discuss this problem than this guy.

So, with the idea of giving it a try, Lu Zhou asked, "Do any of your customers have the kind of materials science research institute that is on the verge of bankruptcy or lack of funds?" Or a technology company with carbon material research and development capabilities. ”

Woolf was slightly stunned: "On the verge of bankruptcy? To be honest, I don't know much about the business conditions of customers, but there are a lot of research teams like this you mentioned...... How can we help you? ”

Although he is not sure whether AM is engaged in M&A-related business, Lu Zhou thought about it and said, "In fact, I plan to acquire a research team with carbon nanomaterial research and development capabilities. ”

Upon hearing this, a bright smile suddenly appeared on Woolf's face: "It's easy! Wrap it around me. ”

Really?!

Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Your firm also provides services in corporate mergers and acquisitions?" ”

Woolf smiled confidently, "Of course. While patent services are the main business of our AM firm, our law firms are more than just providing patent services. If you need to go to court in the future, you can also contact me, we have the best team of lawyers in the United States......"

Lu Zhou: "......"
