Nature is the world's first international scientific journal and has consistently reported and commented on the world's most important breakthroughs in science and technology since its inception in 1869. With a perennial impact factor of more than 30, it is one of the three major journals together with Science and Cell, and is also one of the most well-known and authoritative journals in the scientific research community.

Although it is said that after thirty or forty years, it is relatively easy for Chinese scholars to publish articles in the three major journals, but even so, if someone in the organization publishes an article in the three major journals, they will put up banners on the website, such as "xxxx of xxxx articles published in Nature" and so on. Even the value of articles published in the three major journals and the importance of the laboratory will increase accordingly. Not to mention anything that prioritizes things like job titles.

However, Junxin has never cared about these things, or since he published a few CNS articles, he has little interest in publishing articles, he is interested in being able to find new research methods and research ideas, and even to exchange his ideas with the world's top peers and listen to their opinions.

Such an idea is inconceivable in the field of biology, where the base of biologists far exceeds that of physicists and mathematicians who need to be highly intelligent. So in the small circle of physics and mathematics, everyone knows what so-and-so is researching, how good is the research ability, whether he avoids it, and so on. An absolute outlier like Andrew Wiles, who has been studying in complete secrecy for more than seven years.

Mathematicians and physicists pride themselves on sharing their latest research findings, and they are eager to hear from their peers and comments. Biologists, on the other hand, want their research to be as secretive as possible. This is also the reason why in the world of biology, dissertation, and research there are frequent crashes.

But this time, Junxin suddenly found himself expecting Nature magazine, and this idea that had not appeared in him for a long time was completely irrepressible. So much so that when he heard Professor Cheng tell him to put down all the work at hand and rush to his office immediately, Junxin didn't even take off his lab coat, and ran all the way, leaving the senior brothers who came to call him far behind.

With a "bump", Junxin rarely forgot to knock politely, but directly violently pushed open Professor Cheng's door, and did not greet Professor Cheng when he saw him, and asked directly: "Professor, is the paper here?" ”

"Haha, Jun is here, come and have a look. It was sent by Nature, so I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Professor Cheng didn't care about Junxin's rude attitude, because the package in front of him had completely attracted his energy.

Seeing the thickness of the package, Junxin was relieved. Because if it was a rejection, there would not be such a thick package. Such a thick package shows that Junxin's paper is passed, and there is no need to revise it at all. It made him feel like he was in a dream. Even in his previous life, when his paper was published in Nature, it was almost never approved once, and more of it was a small change.

Jun Xin settled down, took the package on the table, picked up a paper cutter on the table, and cut the package along the sealing line of the package.

Inside the package was a letter and a few sample periodicals, Junxin just gently opened the table of contents part of the sample journal inside, paid a little attention to the number of pages where the catalog was located, and immediately a burst of surprise hit.

"It's the location of the first article in the main catalog." Junxin endured the surprise, but couldn't help but laugh. This represents the most valuable article in the entire magazine.

"Good, good!" Professor Cheng was also very happy. After all, Junxin is a member of the Department of Mathematics, and Professor Cheng, as a member of the Department of Chemistry, has always supported Junxin, fought for him for funding, and even fought for him to build a laboratory. Now that the magazine arrived, the pressure on him had all eased.

"And the letter, take a look!"

Jun Xin heard this, but he opened it unhurriedly, since he already knew that his article was included in Nature, then the content of the letter can be imagined.

There are two pages of stationery in it, Jun Xin glanced at it roughly, roughly understood the meaning of the letter, and then handed the letter to Professor Cheng and said: "The letter is an official letter sent by the editorial department of Nature magazine, which means that the paper has been included, but because the paper is too long, after discussion, the mathematical reasoning part of it has been removed, leaving about twenty-five pages of other parts. Additional mathematical derivation processes will be published in the supplement. ”

"Supplement?" Professor Cheng was really a little surprised.

Junxin also showed a smile on his face: "Yes, supplement." "Nature rarely publishes a supplement, but now it does. It can be seen that the quality and opinion of Junxin's paper have completely impressed them.

Junxin thought that Shechtman was excluded from the research team by his research unit because of this "great rebellion" discovery, and it was not until 1984 that another research team also made the same research results, and the research of Shechtman and quasicrystals attracted the attention of the industry, and the research of quasicrystals officially emerged.

However, Junxin's paper is much more rigorous and detailed than Shechtman's, including not only the structure of the quasicrystals of aluminum-manganese alloys, but also the detailed definitions and properties of quasicrystals. It even includes the "prediction" of several other quasi-crystal structures, and gives distribution functions and theoretical models, which can be verified immediately as long as they are verified by experiments, which naturally has a greater advantage than Shechtman's paper.

In fact, it is precisely for this reason that Nature decided to go big, publishing an important part of this article in the main journal and publishing the rest in the form of a supplement.

"Now that the paper is out, let's go, let's go to a meeting, hurry up and determine the laboratory, Lao Liang, the pressure on your side is also very high, let's go to his side first." After thinking about it, Professor Cheng had finished reading all the contents, carefully folded the letter and handed it to Junxin, and said in an excited tone.

"Well, Professor, you're right, but it's almost evening, so is it really okay for us to go over now?" Junxin looked at the excited Professor Cheng a little helplessly, but he was also happy in his heart.

"It's okay, I guess the headmaster and they'll all be coming over later. After all, a Nature article is an achievement that can only be made by a first-class laboratory in the world. Especially since the 60s, independent research has become almost extinct. Mizuki University posted an article saying that if the president didn't come over to celebrate, he would be sorry for the administrators. ”

"Then you're going to have to let me change my clothes, right?"

"What to change, let's go!"
