HCS-2 Materials: The Terminator of the Shuttle Effect

The papers that are set with highlights are often the most outstanding research results in this issue of the journal.

Regarding Lu Zhou's paper, not only the title was selected on the cover of the summary section, but also the reviewer Professor Bawangdi himself commented on his paper in the section of Science and Technology Review.

Although this evaluation is only a short line -

[Frankly, I didn't believe the data in the paper until I did it myself according to his experimental report.] 】

It was this short line of evaluation that made someone blush with shame after seeing it......

Binghamton University in New York State.

The latest issue of Science, along with an experiment report, is being spread out on the table.

And sitting at the desk was Professor Stanley, who was blown into the sky by Wang Haifeng.

It's just that at this moment, the expression on his face is not even angry, only a look of disbelief and dazedness.

Looking at the experiment report, Woods sighed softly, with a hint of dejection in his voice: "We lost. ”

Professor Stanley's Adam's apple moved, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word for a long time.

Three days ago, when he got this journal, he was like a bolt from the blue.

He couldn't believe that Lu Zhou could make such significant research results in such a short period of time.

In particular, the data on the experiment report was so beautiful that it looked like it had been made up.

As an unbeliever, like Professor Bawangdi, he repeated the contents of the experiment report.

However, the end result was so perfect that he despaired.

Although there are certain fluctuations in the collected data due to differences in the drugs and equipment used, the results obtained in Lu Zhou's paper are still basically consistent......

What is the premise of science?

Yes can be repeated.

What are the prerequisites for industrialization?

Stable output on the premise that it can be repeated.

There is no doubt that this technology already has these two elements, and combined with the superior performance of the HCS-2 material, it is almost self-evident who the market will choose.

Thinking of this, the expression on Professor Stanley's face couldn't help but show a hint of bitterness.

The inability to repeat the experiment is precisely his weakness.

While he has been trying to remedy, the patience of academia and industry clearly cannot be unlimited. In particular, HCS-2 materials have been born, and major new energy companies have begun to design lithium-sulfur battery products in accordance with HCS-2 material standards.

Even if he tried to save it, it would be too late......

However, Professor Stanley still couldn't bear it, and just watched his hard work in the past six months go to waste.

Finally he couldn't help it, he spoke.

"Give me another half a year! I'm sure I'll be able to come up with a plan that you're happy with—"

"Nothing makes sense, my dear Professor Stanley," interrupted him, and Woods sighed, his voice a little lonely, "What's the use of words unless you can do better than him?" Not to mention ......"

After a pause, Woods changed to a rather helpless tone and continued: "What's more, maybe when your research results come out, their HCS-3 and even HCS-4 have already been developed. ”

Professor Stanley opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

Woods didn't say anything more, didn't even reproach him, just patted him on the shoulder, and then turned and walked away.

Contrary to Professor Stanley's despair, the birth of HCS-2 materials has set off an earthquake in the entire new energy industry.

After the lithium dendrite problem was solved, the industry re-embraced traditional lithium batteries, and people used mobile phones and laptops with higher battery life.

Since then, many people will begin to look forward to the bright future brought by the next generation of black technology lithium-sulfur batteries.

And now it seems that this dream is still in the making, and it has become a reality.

Many factories that help 3C electronic device manufacturers OEM battery production have just completed the transformation of the production line and adjusted the production capacity of lithium-ion batteries to lithium batteries, and now they have to continue to design new capacity adjustment plans and begin to prepare to embrace the new era of lithium-sulfur batteries......

……

Since the publication of the paper, one of the things that Lu Zhou is most fortunate about is that he established Star Technology, and stuffed a series of issues such as patent licensing and pricing to his managers and legal departments.

Otherwise, let alone rest time, just dealing with all kinds of phone calls asking about patent licensing would be enough to annoy him to death......

On a sunny morning, a small quadcopter drone whizzed past a training kayak team on Lake Carnegie on Princeton University's campus.

Amid the whistles and screams of kayakers and cheerleaders, the little guy with the camera in a circle circled Lake Carnegie before flying back to the park next to Lake Carnegie and slowly landing on the lawn.

At the same time, several students sitting on a nearby park bench made strange noises as they looked at the pictures on their computer screens.

"Oh my God, what did I get?"

"Chrissy didn't even wear a BRA!"

"It's big news......"

"Hey, give me a copy of the picture."

Obviously, while taking aerial photographs around Lake Carnegie just now, these lads used drones to capture some bad things.

Lu Zhou, who was standing next to him, coughed lightly and warned the restless young men.

"Jimmy, I've agreed to be your technical advisor to help you win the game, not to see how you invade other people's privacy."

"I'm sorry, Professor, I'll delete the picture." The freckled boy lowered his head in shame and silently deleted all the photos in front of the landing boat.

While it's cool to have these photos posted on social media to show off, it's not very friendly for both the victims and their clubs who have been photographed indecently.

As the leader of this group of tech nerds, he must be accountable to his friends.

After confirming that Jimmy had deleted all the photos, Lu Zhou glanced at the silver watch in his hand, "The flight time is 30 minutes, check the remaining power." ”

Putting the notebook aside, Jimmy stood up from the bench,

"Okay, Professor, I'll go."

Lu Zhou corrected very playfully: "Call me coach." ”

"Yes, Coach!"

Jimmy immediately straightened his back, shouted energetically, and then trotted over to the drone parked on the lawn amid the cheerful laughter of his friends.

It's the end of summer, and it's not just the fall and Ivy League games that are coming, but also a variety of colorful disciplines.

For example, the drone design competition is one of them. As a popular competition for engineering majors in American universities, its popularity in recent years is no less than that of robotics competitions and artificial intelligence.

Although engineering majors are not Princeton's strong point, these Princeton students still have strong hands-on ability. The drone was DIY by themselves, using materials that were either purchased online or on credit from other professors' labs.

As their advisor, Lu Zhou was also involved in the production of this drone.

As for how Lu Zhou became a consultant for these students, it was actually quite a coincidence.

The students had originally asked Professor Chirik how to improve the drone's battery and increase its range, and Professor Chirik immediately recommended them to Lu Zhou.

After the experiment, there were still a lot of samples left that had not had time to be processed, so Lu Zhou used the equipment of Frick's laboratory to help them replace the cathode material and electrolyte in the battery.

Although this kind of shoddy DIY products are certainly not as good as standardized industrial products, it is still an out-and-out black technology for student competitions.

directly doubled the endurance of the original drone.

This work is very interesting, especially when seeing the results of his research fly into the sky, it is like opening the door to a new world for Lu Zhou.

Compared with competitive sports such as rugby and football, he feels that this slightly technical hobby is more suitable for him.

Later, because they had a good conversation about technical issues, Lu Zhou also gained a lot of inspiration from the students' perspectives, so he accepted their invitation to serve as their club advisor.

As a result, a new title was added to his many titles - Chief Advisor of the Princeton University Drone Club.

Of course, in fact, he is a consultant, and there are not many things that need to be done by him, and these students know that he is busy and usually do not come to bother him.

At most, it's just an afternoon or a few hours on the weekend to get together and discuss technical issues, or as is the case now, watch them test fly the drone.

Just as Lu Zhou watched the group of students continue to fly the drone, a lady wearing professional clothes and long blond hair came to the park.

Behind her, an assistant and a cameraman with a camera on his shoulder, the lineup clearly did not look like people from the school.

Noticing that the lady was walking towards him, Lu Zhou withdrew his gaze from the sky, looked at her and asked.

"You are?"

The lady smiled at him and handed out her business card.

"Hello, Professor Lu, I am a reporter for Time Magazine, do you have time now?"
