Just when the industry and the battery industry were hotly discussing and crazy about the results of lithium-sulfur batteries published by the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, a new newspaper released by the Chicago Tribune caused quite a stir on the Internet.

"Exposure! Argonne National Laboratory's latest research result, 'monoclinic gamma sulfur', has been stolen! 》

"Recently, Professor Teresa Achill, who is in charge of the 'battery project' at the Argonne National Laboratory and the Institute for Energy and Global Security, which is affiliated to the United States Energy Group, was interviewed by our media reporter."

"In the interview, Professor Theresa Achill angrily said that the latest and most important research result of the Institute for Energy and Global Security's 'Lithium-Sulfur Battery Engineering' has suffered a shocking data leak."

"This event is related to the hottest major achievement in the battery industry and industry, the 'monoclinic gamma phase sulfur' material that solves the shuttle effect of lithium-sulfur batteries."

"According to Professor Theresa Achille, Argonne National Laboratory has been working on the shuttle effect of lithium-sulfur batteries and the problem of polysulfide compounds more than a year ago."

"In more than a year-long research experiments, experimenters on lithium-sulfur battery packs have discovered that an allotropic form of sulfur has the ability to stabilize the 'shuttle effect'."

"And this allotropic form is the 'monoclinic gamma phase sulfur' recently disclosed by the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute."

"Professor Theresa Achill said that the 'shuttle effect' problem of 'monoclinic gamma-phase sulfur' stabilized lithium-sulfur batteries is the result of Argonne National Laboratory, and it is very likely that it has been stolen by competitors and the experimental data has been leaked in all aspects."

"In addition, in this interview, Professor Teresa Achill of Argonne National Laboratory provided us with ample comparative evidence."

He provided the research data of lithium-sulfur battery experimenters on 'monoclinic gamma sulfur' at the beginning of this year, as well as a comparison of the "Sulfur Problem" of 'Monoclinic Gamma Sulfur' Lithium Sulfur Battery published by the Chuanhai Institute of Materials! Relevant experimental data in the paper. ”

"The data comparison chart is as follows"

"From the picture, we can clearly see that the two have a high degree of similarity."

A news article by the Chicago Tribune, in this situation where lithium-sulfur batteries and 'monoclinic gamma phase sulfur' were concerned by everyone in the industry, quickly spread all over the world.

On the one hand, the Argonne National Laboratory, the most famous national research institute in the United States, participated in an important part of the Manhattan Project, and established the first controllable nuclear reactor (Chicago No. 1 fission reactor), which brought mankind into the atomic age.

On the other hand, Professor Xu Chuan, the 'miracle scholar' of today's era, has solved the three millennial problems by himself, is a winner of the Nofi Double Prize, and an internationally renowned scholar who has completed controlled nuclear fusion technology.

The former is a veteran research group with strong strength and outstanding R&D capabilities; The latter is the most famous international scholar in the new era, known as the 'father of controlled nuclear fusion', and single-handedly pulls mankind into the era of controlled nuclear fusion.

The two were suddenly linked, and they were also involved in the theft or leakage of important academic achievements, which set off a fierce discussion in the industry and the Internet for a while.

【? Really? Kawagami's research institute involved in the theft of classified data from the Agung National Laboratory in the United States? 】

[I heard that the Argonne National Laboratory has been studying the gamma sulfur for a long time, which can stabilize the shuttle effect, which is exactly the same as the laboratory under the name of Kawajin.] 】

[Unlikely, right?] I read the Chicago Tribune article, and it can only be said that the research direction and the idea collided by coincidence, right? 】

[It is impossible to bump into such a detailed research idea!] I read the report, and the experimental data released by the Argonne laboratory are almost the same as the papers published by the Chuanhai Institute of Materials from beginning to end. 】

[I am a doctor of materials science, after looking at the comparative experimental data, it can be said that there are only some differences in the final stable doped materials, the former uses carbon nanotubes, and the latter uses graphite. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that both sides have their own reservations about the experimental data disclosed, after all, the core secrets cannot be fully disclosed. 】

[Carbon nanotubes? Graphite? Isn't it all carbon material? 】

[Alas, I was still happy that domestic batteries could rise, but I didn't expect it to be stealing other people's experimental data. 】

[I don't believe Chuanshen stealing other people's experimental data, don't forget that the artificial SEI film that solves the problem of lithium dendrites is what he solves, in the field of lithium batteries, there is anyone more professional than him? 】

[I also think it's impossible, how can it be that the old man of Kawajin is not short of money and not short of fame, stealing other people's experimental data. 】

On the Internet, there is a lot of discussion.

Not only the industry and melon-eating netizens are discussing this matter, but even the academic community next door has set their eyes on it.

After all, academia during this time was not deserted.

The popularity of the proof paper of the weak Riemann conjecture has not completely passed, and the name Xu Chuan is involved, which is even more eye-catching.

The incident between Argonne National Laboratory and Chuanhai Institute of Materials in the field of lithium-sulfur batteries attracted everyone's attention, and even Xu Chuan saw the relevant information and immediately found Senior Brother Fan Pengyue of the Management Research Institute.

Although he did not suspect that the people at the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute had stolen the classified data of Argonne National Laboratory.

But to be honest, after seeing the experimental data provided by Argonne National Laboratory, even he couldn't help but wonder if the research and development of lithium-sulfur batteries was really related to the other party.

After all, apart from the different carbon materials used in the end to stabilize the 'monoclinic gamma phase sulfur' to solve the shuttle effect, the overall research and development direction and ideas, including some experimental data, can really be said to be not much different.

It's hard not to have some ideas.

"I've already inquired about it, and I've arranged for someone to check it, it's really just a coincidence, there are no other problems, and the theft of Argonne National Laboratory's data and research ideas is even more nonsense."

In the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, the master Xiong Fan Pengyue shook his head and explained to Xu Chuan.

As soon as the news of the Chicago Tribune came out, he learned about the news and conducted an internal understanding and investigation as soon as possible.

To be honest, lab data leaks, or thefts, are common in the scientific and academic world, and they are not a big deal.

Especially in the United States, is it still less to steal laboratory secrets or data from other countries?

Even a certain mobile phone is now justifiably conducting data monitoring processing.

But this time the data theft accident involved their top boss, who is now the first person in the domestic and even world academic circles.

If it can't be handled properly, it will be a particularly big blow to Xu Chuan's academic reputation, so Fan Pengyue was very concerned about this matter and dealt with it as soon as possible.

On the side, Cao Yiran, the main R&D personnel of lithium-sulfur batteries this time, was also in the office, wearing a pair of oval glasses, his face was slightly chubby, he looked at Xu Chuan with some unwillingness, and said.

"Academician Xu, I can guarantee with my life that the results of 'monoclinic gamma sulfur' are developed by us little by little, and they have absolutely nothing to do with the Argonne National Laboratory in the United States!"

Being wronged by others that the research results they have worked so hard to make are stolen from others, and no one is reconciled.

Xu Chuan smiled and reassured: "Don't worry, I believe in you." ”

Smiling, he joked: "If you have the ability to steal experimental data from the Agung laboratory, what research do you still have, and directly transform into intelligence officers." ”

"This ability may be able to steal the bottoms of the United States."

It's a joke, but it's true.

Argonne National Laboratory, which is affiliated to the United States Energy Co., Ltd., if it is placed in China, its status is definitely at the level of a laboratory under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Needless to say, the secrecy ability of this kind of experimental institution is absolutely strong to the point of perversion. Even if they wanted to, they didn't have this channel.

Especially lithium-sulfur batteries, which can change the current pattern of the battery industry, can be counted with one hand that can obtain comprehensive core data.

Xu Chuan also didn't think that Chuanhai Materials Research Institute had this ability to get this level of confidential data.

If they can really do it, they will also engage in the research and development of a p, and directly change all the intelligence personnel, maybe they can really steal all the underwear of Lao Mi.

Being ridiculed by Xu Chuan like this, Fan Pengyue and Cao resolutely couldn't help laughing directly with a 'poof'.

This legendary big boss is really down-to-earth.

Xu Chuan also smiled, and continued: "I will deal with this matter, rest assured, as long as the experimental results are made by yourself, I will definitely give you justice and reputation!" ”

"If you want to slander people, it's impossible for me!"

Supporting the institute under his name is actually an invitation to himself.

Although the Chicago Tribune did not carry his name from beginning to end, there is no doubt that everyone knows that the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute is his, and the theft of experimental data involved must have something to do with him in the eyes of the public.

Someone supported him, and Cao Yiran's heart was much less aggrieved, and he hurriedly said: "If there is any need, I can cooperate with the whole process." ”

Xu Chuan smiled and nodded, and just as he wanted to speak, in the office, the secretary of the master Xiong Fan Pengyue hurriedly walked in.

"Dean, the situation is not good"

The secretary who hurried over quickly reported: "The United States Patent and Trademark Office has jointly rejected our application for patents related to lithium-sulfur batteries and 'monoclinic gamma phase sulfur'. ”

The patent application filed by the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute related to lithium-sulfur batteries and monoclinic gamma phase sulfur was rejected on the grounds that the patent content violated the provisions of the Patent Law.

This news immediately added fuel to the fire in the extremely hot situation.

[New news, the patent application of the Chuanhai Research Institute has been rejected! ] 】

[Lao Mi is really shameless, and the patents that have passed the review can be rejected? ] 】

[First, I just got the patent number, and I didn't pass the review. Second, stealing someone else's experimental data will be shameful? It's obviously the result of Argonne National Laboratory, and you still want to apply for a patent after stealing from the past, what a shame. 】

[I saw the wrong person, I didn't expect him to do this kind of thing. My daughter has always idolized him, and I'm really disappointed. 】

[Indeed, stealing other people's research results is too disgraceful! 】

[Stealing old rice is also considered stealing? Lao Mi himself is stealing other countries' trade secrets and achievements, and is there still less? If I'm not mistaken, there's a lot of such a thing as artemether, right? 】

【？？？ Upstairs, these are starting to plant charges to the god of Sichuan?? Whether the theft is not qualitative, you are so anxious to pick it out and speak to your foreign masters? 】

[No, controlled nuclear fusion technology can't pull up your kneeling knees?] Why are you leading the world, do you still think your foreign adults are awesome? 】

I have to say that the United States Patent and Trademark Office jumped out at this time to announce the rejection of the patent of the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, which does have a hand in disgusting people.

Although it is possible to re-file a request for reexamination for subsequent international patent applications, for the time being, this is undoubtedly a hot oil on the current anxious situation, which has attracted everyone's attention to turn around.

At the same time, the other side.

Illinois is located at Argonne National Laboratory, surrounded by the Chicago Forest Preserve.

An FBI intelligence officer and the deputy director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office are happily communicating with Professor Theresa Achille, who is in charge of lithium-sulfur battery research, at the Energy and Global Security Institute.

"Professor Theresa Achille, the patent application of the Kawakai Materials Research Institute has been rejected. But we won't be able to delay for long. ”

"After all, if they submit a request for review, we have to accept it, and we can't break these rules, but it's okay to delay some time."

In his office, Adams Saar, Deputy Director of the Patent and Trademark Office, raised his coffee cup and smiled and gestured to Professor Theresa Achille.

"So I hope you will be able to complete the research on 'monoclinic gamma-phase sulfur' and lithium-sulfur batteries within two months at the latest, as well as file the relevant patent application documents."

"Or."

After a pause, he looked at the FBI police officer beside him with a smile, and continued: "Find the evidence that the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute really stole the Argonne laboratory, so that we can directly and permanently block the other party's patent on it!" ”

The lithium-sulfur battery and the 'monoclinic gamma-phase sulfur' incident have undoubtedly attracted the attention of the authorities.

At the first moment, someone from the Bureau of Investigation intervened and conducted a relevant investigation.

But after careful inspection, the FBI personnel preliminarily determined that the Argonne National Laboratory data had not been stolen or leaked.

That is, the paper published by them and the Chuanhai Institute of Materials is more likely to be an incredible coincidence.

This result did displease Argonne National Laboratory and the authorities, but they could not find evidence of theft, and they had nothing better to do.

However, according to Professor Theresa Achille, who is in charge of the research and development of lithium-sulfur battery technology, they themselves are not far from lithium-sulfur battery technology.

Therefore, after consultation between the authorities and Argonne National Laboratory, it was decided to turn things around!

That is, first cooperate with other countries to reject the patent application of Chuanhai Materials Research Institute, and then let Professor Theresa Arcier make every effort to accelerate the research and development of lithium-sulfur batteries, and then complete the application and layout of lithium-sulfur battery-related patents before the other party!

It sounds shameless, but for them, what does it matter if they can regain the top spot in the trillion-level market in the battery field and abandon some face?

What's more, this matter will not be publicized.

On the contrary, they will be more convinced of the news that the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute has stolen the confidential data of the Argonne National Laboratory, so as to complete the manipulation of public opinion and news, and beat the other party to the bottom!

Across the couch, Professor Theresa Archer smiled as she raised her coffee cup with a smile on her face.

"Of course!"
