Making such a decision is an inevitable consequence for any university or institute that is interested in scientific research. For the follow-up research of hot issues, and make corresponding achievements on top of this, and then use this as a starting point to obtain corresponding research results and analyze their application value, and make achievements. The gain is not only fame, but also a lot of money invested in the laboratory. This is the case for quasicrystals, an emerging study of the structure of matter.

Soon, the first to produce results was still the crystallography research group led by Professor Richard of Johns Hopkins University's Whiting School of Engineering, which Junxin was familiar with, and the history was strikingly similar, as his collaborator, Professor Shechtman, still discovered the aperiodic quasicrystalline phenomenon of aluminum-manganese alloys.

So, it didn't take long for an article "A long-range orderly but nonsymmetrical metallic phase" that was several years ahead of history to the editorial department of the world's most famous journal Science. Slightly different from the original, although the first author at this time was still Shechtman, Professor Richard Friedman, as the corresponding author, occupied an important position, sharing almost half of the credit for Shechtman. Shechtman, on the other hand, was unfairly treated and kicked out of his project. History has quietly turned a corner in this place.

"He rewrote the definition of crystals, and this year's International Federation of Crystallography in Canada seemed to have something big going on." Professor Richard, who had obtained the experimental data earlier, couldn't help muttering to himself when he looked at the experimental data that had almost no change from the data from the paper published by Junxin in Nature.

"It's unbelievable, but it doesn't seem like a big deal right now." In contrast to Richard's surprise, Shechtman, who personally repeated the experiment dozens of times and came up with complete verification data, was not surprised. In his opinion, Junxin's paper is indeed a very classic paper, and it is not that no one can make such results in chemistry, but compared with Junxin's results, there is a lack of a higher level of induction.

In his dissertation, Junxin not only explained the existence of this phenomenon, but also gave a very complete mathematical model according to the characteristics it presented, and predicted the existence and corresponding properties of quasicrystals of other structures and compositions according to the mathematical model. In Shechtman's view, if it can be verified, it will be the result of winning the Nobel Prize.

"I think it's only mid-April, and there's still four months left to do so this year." Shechtman nodded in agreement.

The International Union of Crystallography is an international research institute. Founded in 1948, IUCr now has 40 member states and regional societies and 17 professional committees. The Federation holds an academic congress and a member congress every three years.

Group membership is established in accordance with the regulations of the International Council for Science (ICSU). Group members are divided into five categories according to the amount of dues paid, and their voting rights range from 5 to 1 vote. There are now 40 group members. In 1997, there were 7,959 members from 74 countries or regions.

Due to the regulations of the International Union of Crystallography, an international academic conference is held once every three years. This year is 1981, the date of the 12th International Union of Crystallography. In accordance with the regulations and the pre-planned plan, this year's host country is Canada. However, this conference is also destined to be the most legendary, because the rise of quasicrystals is bound to become a hot topic, and it is impossible to say whether it will rewrite the definition of crystals.

Among other countries and research institutes, in addition to the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Japan are the most active researchers. As for the Soviet Union, there was no news of anything.

However, Junxin didn't care about the current situation or anything, his main job has always been mathematics and physics, and the quasicrystals in chemistry are only because the quasicrystals have appeared in mathematical research. So what happened to the outside world, he was not worried at all, but the two professors who partnered with him were a little worried, and they came to Junxin's office to harass him if they didn't come, which made Junxin a little crying and laughing. I can only sift through a part of the information in my own mind and provide it to them as a direction for research.

After sending away the two professors, Junxin didn't have any free time. Calculation work on scientific research projects of the military. After a week's resolution, Junxin refocused on teaching and learning physics, and because of his special identity and experience, he also planned to hold a salon academic study unique to Mizuki University.

However, a special letter interrupted Junxin's work at hand, and he had to stop all his work and think carefully.

The letter was written by Mr. Gu Yuxiu, a world-renowned scientist, writer, poet and educator, as well as a senior and teacher whom Junxin had never met.

Junxin Little Friends:

Don't be surprised if you see a letter. A few days ago, I came to my place of residence and had a very happy conversation. During the banquet, he chatted with Mr. Shengshen about the domestic sages and scholars, tasted the name of Xiaoyou, and immediately asked for details in the province, and heard the article of Xiaoyou's quasi-crystal a few days ago, and was very happy, so he wrote to ask.

I tried to discuss with the professors of the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and although there were unbelievable remarks, there were also people who thought so. Then Professor Waldock successfully completed the verification with the method of Xiaoyou's model, and the gentlemen were convinced.

On the day of the provincial government, Xiaoyou has great ability in mathematics, although he is not weak, but he has achieved amazing results. A few days ago, I tried to find the Modell conjecture of Xiaoyou, and I was ashamed, nine times out of ten, all of them were those who knew about me. There is also a proof of Kotomo's Junshin conjecture, which is the connection between Fermat's final theorem and Taniyama-Shimura conjecture. I love the talent of my little friend, but I also have worries.

In the past, there were things that hurt Zhongyong, so I hope that Xiaoyou will take it as a warning and not make mistakes. Human energy is also limited, how can we take care of everything? There is only one curiosity, one piety, one single-mindedness, and one diligence. If you have a desire for knowledge, you can explore the infinity of the universe, know the number of the rich, and then have something. He is pious, Hu Ke has firm beliefs, and he has been working hard for scientific research rather than favoring others. There are single-minded people, so they can be in one place, do their best, get the origin, and forget about the miscellaneous. There is diligence, and the so-called industry is good at diligence and frolic, which is true.

Ha, the so-called Ministry of Education of the Republic of China, so there is an educational heart, don't blame it, and listen to it as an old man's words.

Remembering the beautiful scenery of water and wood, as if it was yesterday, when there is time, the moonlight on the lotus pond, the clear light is not reduced, when I hope to talk with my younger brothers, tea at three o'clock, set as a joy in the world.
