Chapter 501: Graphene Appears (Part II)
Looking at the commotion in the audience, Chu Hao rubbed his nose, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, he didn't say that there was anything unspeakably proud, he just thought it was interesting, everyone's expressions were a little too exaggerated, almost all of them could be described as excited, looking at Professor Lei's appearance, he was almost excited to cry.
At the same time, I also feel a little inexplicably sad, if it is not for the Chinese, I am afraid it is difficult to understand this feeling, understand the importance of the Nobel Prize.
There is no way, China has been weak for too long, and the Chinese people are too eager to go to the forefront of the world stage and prove to the world that the Chinese people are smart and intelligent, and that the Chinese people are no longer the sick man of East Asia.
It is precisely because it once stood proudly at the pinnacle of the world's nations, but it was also trampled on the ground and almost died.
That's why the Chinese people will use great courage and wisdom, as well as more important tenacity and hard work, to prove themselves again and again, to go further, higher, to narrow the gap between themselves and the developed countries, and even finally surpass their purpose, so that China will once again become a prosperous China, the kingdom of the Celestial Empire.
The Nobel Prize is the best proof of the wisdom of the Chinese people.
In this case, it is not surprising that we are hungry for the Nobel Prize, because we have lost so much.
With a turn of his eyes, Chu Hao subconsciously looked towards Shi Lao's side, only to see Shi Lao looking at him angrily.
Chu Hao wondered, he didn't provoke Shi Lao, why did he look at him like this.
With a turn of his head, Chu Hao instantly understood, and then pretended to be indifferent and turned his head over.
Chu Hao guessed correctly, Shi Lao was indeed about to die.
Things have come to this point, how could Shi Lao not think that Chu Hao would probably have researched the graphene decomposition technology a long time ago, and then come to the project he applied for.
I lost myself, and at that time, I thought that Chu Hao finally turned back and did not change his money, and had the ambition to hit the top of the world, and then called people everywhere, asked for favors, and sold his old face to Chu Hao to get research funds, and he almost sold out his old face.
The result is good, it's just a toss, Chu Hao has already decomposed graphene to research, what the hell do you need, no wonder Chu Hao is not in a hurry at all, he has never carried out experiments, and let himself not bother.
He also thought that Chu Hao was kind, and he was afraid that he would be tired, but it turned out to be all a ghost.
If Chu Hao had honestly told himself the truth before, he would have been able to ask for money from someone at such a low level, he could directly pat his chest, find it, and ask about the Nobel Prize-level achievements, whether he would do it for 100 million.
Don't think about it, you must do it, even if it is a bonus for Chu Hao alone, the above will not ask, how can it be used now, the old face is about to be lost, and as a result, even five million funds may not be obtained.
It's all Chu Hao's stinky boy, and he feels that it is necessary to talk to Chu Hao about what it means to respect the elderly.
Chu Hao felt a cool breeze blowing, and subconsciously shrunk his neck.
After a long time, everyone's emotions gradually calmed down.
"Classmate Chu Hao, can I ask why this small roll of tape can unlock the secret of graphene. β
The female reporter took a deep breath and looked solemn, she already realized that she was witnessing history.
Everyone's ears instantly stood up, indeed, they looked at it for so long, and they also wanted to know why Chu Hao could decompose the graphene so easily with a roll of tape.
Chu Hao shook his fingers, "What you said is not right......
The female reporter's expression tightened, and she was a little dazed, not knowing what was wrong with what she said.
But without waiting for her to ask again, Chu Hao spoke directly, "I haven't really decomposed graphene yet." So you're not right. β
Everyone couldn't help but look at Chu Hao angrily, and the female reporter even threw Chu Hao several blank eyes, isn't this annoying.
Asked him if there would be a miracle, he said that this was an achievement exhibition, and asked him how to unlock the secret of graphene, and he said that it had not been solved yet.
"But I can tell you why this roll of tape breaks down graphene. Chu Hao said with a smile.
Next, not surprisingly, Chu Hao once again gained countless white eyes.
Brooke glanced up at Chu Hao, his eyes were full of grief and helplessness, and then he lowered his head and said to himself: "What is there to say about this, graphite is a mineral with cleavage qualities. β
Before Brooke's words fell, Chu Hao spoke: "As we all know, graphite has cleavage qualities, which is a property that is not uncommon among minerals. β
Many professors and scholars nodded thoughtfully.
As for the media reporter who voted this vote, he was confused, cleavage traits, what are cleavage traits, and looking at the meaning of Chu Hao's words, this should be something that middle school students should understand, and it is very common.
But why, they don't understand, are they going to fake middle schools?
Now, all the media reporters finally realized that there is a huge gap between themselves and geniuses, and some knowledge is like common sense necessary for a genius like Chu Hao, but for them, it is like a book from heaven.
Chu Hao rubbed his nose a little embarrassed, and he also realized that it seemed that these media reporters really didn't know what cleavage was.
Coughing, Chu Hao said: "The property of mineral crystals that often break in a certain direction and produce smooth planes after being stressed is called cleavage. β
"To put it simply, a mineral crystal with cleavage properties is fractured in a way that is not affected by any stress, and always retains a monolithic crystal structure. β
Everyone was still at a loss, but they probably understood, and knew that mineral crystals with cleavage qualities, if broken, would maintain an intact structure.
Among them, cleavage is also divided into, very complete cleavage, complete cleavage, medium cleavage, incomplete cleavage, and extremely incomplete cleavage. β
"The cleavage of different minerals may have one direction or multiple directions. Common one-way cleavage, such as graphite, mica, etc., two-way cleavage, such as hornblende, etc., three-way cleavage, such as calcite, etc., in addition to four-way cleavage, such as fluorite, six-way cleavage, such as sphalerite, etc. β
"And graphite is still a kind of extremely complete cleavage, that is to say, the crystals of graphite are easy to crack into thin sheets, and the cleavage surface is large and flat and smooth, and I do graphene decomposition experiments with the help of this characteristic of graphite. β
Chu Hao looked at the media reporters below with a blank face, full of helplessness, he really felt so tired, this is not a teacher teaching students, he feels that it is just a chicken and a duck at all.
"Classmate Chu Hao, do you mean that because graphite is special, you can use tape to glue it completely. The female reporter seemed to understand, but asked again with some uncertainty.
Chu Hao nodded helplessly, "That's pretty much what it means." β
Although he didn't think there was anything special about graphite, it was obviously a very common sense knowledge, and there was anything special.
Many media reporters immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave Chu Hao countless white eyes.
In terms of language organization ability, are they still great writers? Or are they people with full marks in the college entrance examination essay test? If they were Chu Hao's Chinese revision teacher, Chu Hao's composition would definitely be a negative score, just such a simple sentence, as for so many bends.
"Then classmate Chu Hao, can I ask, why is it so simple, but other scientists have not found out. The female reporter asked.
This time it was Chu Hao's turn to look confused, hell, how could he know why other scientists didn't find out this reason.
Brooke's face turned black in an instant, there are countless possibilities for people to do things, let alone scientific research, it is simply in the vast darkness, and then want to step out of a road, no one knows which is the shortcut, which is the right way, can only endlessly explore, think, try.
He and all the professors and scholars who have studied graphene before are well aware of the fact that graphite has cleavage qualities, and many people have played the idea of decomposing graphene through cleavage qualities.
Suffice it to say, without surprise, they all failed.
Because graphene is so thin, even if you draw a pencil on paper, it is possible to retain more than ten layers of graphene.
One layer of graphene is 0.335 nanometers, and how much is ten layers of graphene, 3.35 nanometers, 1/20,000th of the thickness of a human hair.
With such a thickness, who can take graphene and have a way, there is no suitable method and tool to decompose graphene.
Therefore, they can only try to decompose graphene from other directions, oxidation, pure hydrazine solution, potassium manganate and sulfuric acid, etc., and they have also considered using other elements, such as ruthenium, to produce graphene.
These methods are possible at present, but after all, no one dares to determine whether these methods are feasible until the final failure.
As for the use of tape to break down graphene.
Sorry, their brain circuits really aren't that big.
To be honest, if Chu Hao hadn't done this today, they might not have been able to think of it in another hundred years, and try to use a roll of tape to separate the graphene.
It's like when an apple hits Newton's head, Newton thinks about gravity, and when others are hit by an apple, they at most wipe it clean and eat it directly.
He really knows now, why Chu Hao has so many research results at such a young age, and now he has included the Nobel Prize-level research results of graphene decomposition, because his brain circuit is probably the same as Newton's.
Defeated in the hands of such a genius, Brooke suddenly felt uncomplained.
The female reporter also noticed her problem, as if something was wrong, and smiled awkwardly as well.
To be honest, when Chu Hao knew about this, his first feeling was that the world would operate so strangely, and he won the Nobel Prize with a roll of tape.
However, if you want to ask the truth, I am afraid that the only way to do this is to ask Andrei Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, who won the Nobel Prize at that time.
And interestingly, when Andre Geim was interviewed, he once said how he discovered that graphene could be broken down with adhesive tape.
It is said that back then, a Chinese student broke down a large piece of graphite to a thousand layers, and then AndrΓ© Geim asked him if he could make it thinner.
The Chinese student replied that unless there was another piece of graphite, it would be impossible.
Distressed by a mere $300 piece of graphite, Andrei Geim and Konstantin Novoselov considered how to use this graphite, which was only 1,000 layers, and finally discovered that graphene could be broken down with tape.
Chu Hao has always been a little skeptical about the truth of this story, these years are better, a few years earlier, in the seventies and eighties of the last century, it can even be traced back to the nineteenth century, the twentieth century, when the Chinese people just stepped out of the country, they were often frequent visitors to these scientific stories.
And, basically, like the Chinese students in this story, they are stupid and stubborn, and can only be used as a backdrop or stepping stone for white students and teachers.
"The reason why geniuses are geniuses is because their ideas are different, of course, this also has a lot to do with the excellent academic style of our Academy of Sciences, and our Academy of Sciences University has ......."
At this time, it seemed that the atmosphere was a little too embarrassing, Vice President Zhang resolutely stood up, starting from Chu Hao, and praised the University of Science and Technology, as if Chu Hao's success was inseparable from the school's cultivation, without the care of their leaders, the guidance of teachers, and the help of classmates, graphene would not be able to be decomposed.
And because Chu Hao unlocked the last secret of graphene in such a simple and weird way, many people think that what Vice President Zhang said is quite right, if it weren't for so much help, how could Chu Hao be so young and sit on the seat of the future Nobel Prize winner at the age of eighteen.
Chu Hao rubbed his nose helplessly, yes, if you want to blow it, if you don't let Vice Principal Zhang brag about it, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than killing him.
And it's quite happy not to see Shi Lao next to him, maybe he won't trouble himself when he turns around.
Besides, he deceived Shi Lao, and he was also forced, he said at the time that he didn't want funds, it was Shi Lao himself who had to get him funds, and if he didn't let him apply, he was still anxious, what else could he do!
As for the other side, Meng Mao's observation and measurement were also smooth, and I don't know if it was because Brooke had demonstrated him again just now, or because he was mentally holding back and got up from where he had to fall.
Meng Mao's measurement of graphene can basically be described as fast and good.
Soon, thirty-six layers of graphene became sixteen, seven, and three layers.
The group's breathing slowly stopped, and they realized that this could be the last measurement.
Because after all, it is tape-glued, and the graphite will definitely not be evenly separated, and all the torn off graphite will appear in a singular layer.
Now there are only three layers left, that is, in any case, there will definitely be a piece of tape, and real graphene will appear.
More than a minute passed, and the crowd was definitely as long as a century.
Meng Mao raised his head, looked at everyone, took a deep breath, and announced: "According to the results of this observation and measurement, the graphite on the sample is monoatomic layer graphite, that is, graphene!"
