Chapter 183: 1 gold mine

Shanghai, apartment building near Mizuki University.
An old man is holding an English magazine in his hand and watching it on the sofa.
After seeing it halfway, he suddenly smiled, put down the magazine in his hand, and said, "This kid is a personal talent."
This old man with glasses is no one else. It is Mr. Qiu Chengtong, Mr. Qiu Lao, who is the world leader in Chinese mathematics.
The magazine he was holding in his hands was nothing else, but the English version of Nature Weekly. On the page opened, it was the British female journalist Belinda who interviewed the intern named Lu Zhou.
In the interview, the magazine mentioned the identity of the interviewee's master student at Jinling University, and also mentioned that he was a member of the lhcb China Cooperation Group and his views on the signals appearing in the 750gev energy zone.
As Academician Gao, the head of the China-China Cooperation Group of the lhcb project said before, this intern helped the China-China Cooperation Group, which had no sense of existence, to fight for it on the international stage of cern.
I believe it won't be long before China launches an overwhelming report on this young scholar who appeared on Nature Weekly.
And these glories are all due to him.
"Yes."
The old man sitting opposite Mr. Qiu Lao sighed softly while drinking tea.
This is no one else, it is Academician Wang Xiping who had a relationship with Princeton in Princeton.
Although the relationship between Mr. Qiu and Yanda was very poor, even to the extent that they bombarded each other in the media, and the apprentice turned his face, but Mr. Old had a few personal friends in Yanda.
For example, Academician Wang Daiping is one of them.
After a pause, Mr. Wang continued to express his emotions: "After the academic meeting in Princeton, I originally thought that this boy's talents were all in number theory. I didn't expect him to have such a high talent in the field of high-energy physics. Young and promising I have met many scholars, but I have n’t seen a few of them.
Qiu Chengtong smiled and said, "I've seen one."
"Who?"
"Tao Xuanzhe!"
Wang Jiuping froze slightly, then smiled and said, "Do you rate him so high?"
Tao Xuanzhe, the first Australian to win the Fields Award, and the second Chinese to receive this honor after Qiu Chengtong in 1982, now teaches at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is a recognized genius in mathematics and is amazing All-rounder.
Although he did not involve research in the field of physics, his research paradigm covered almost all areas of mathematics, from harmonic analysis to nonlinear partial differential equations, and even his research has spread from the field of pure numbers to the field of countables. For example, the principle of compression sensing in cameras has his research results.
Many people evaluate him as Mozart in mathematics, because apart from genius, he can no longer find a suitable reason to explain why so many accomplishments appear on a mortal person.
Although many people in the domestic mathematics community have commented on this Lu Zhou, calling him "Little Tao Xuanzhe", he still brings a "small" character. In Wang Xiuping's opinion, his old friend's evaluation was still too exaggerated.
Mr. Qiu smiled and said, "Is the evaluation high? I even think that he has every hope to surpass his predecessors!"
Hearing this old friend's evaluation of the young man turned out to be so high, Wang Xiuping secretly wondered, could not help asking, "Are you serious?"
"Of course," Mr. Qiu nodded, "When I saw that he chose the Polignac conjecture as a research topic for the youth, I actually had this premonition at the time. Now seeing this report, But I'm more sure of that. "
Wang Yanping smiled and asked, "Do you think he can solve this problem?"
"It's hard to say, he even solved the twin prime number conjecture. If it wasn't for that energy, and number theory is outside my scope of research, I would like to try and challenge this problem," Mr. Qiu Lao said with a sigh, suddenly eyes Turning around, he looked at his old friend and said with a smile, "Otherwise, shall we make a bet?"
Wang Yanping smiled and asked, "What bet?"
"I bet he can solve this conjecture within two years."
"It's not realistic." Wang Xingping shook his head. "I know that you value him highly, but his current research direction is not number theory, but mathematical physics. If he focuses on number theory, it is possible to complete this project ... … But if you look at it now, two years is still too short! "
Mr. Qiu shook his head: "Research direction is not a problem, and interest is the best teacher. In my opinion, he has the talent to complete this work. Since we have opposite opinions, should we bet?"
Wang Jiuping patted his thigh and said with a smile, "Okay, then bet! I will give you a hundred dollars, and I will not lose if I lose anyway."
Mr. Qiu laughed and cursed: "You old thing, before you start gambling, you want to lose. I'm not gambling with you, it's boring!"
...
"A sneeze!"
After sneezing, Lu Zhou rubbed his nose and muttered "Who is scolding me?" And continued writing at his desk.
Academician Lu's schedule, he has already seen it.
However, it is still in the summer vacation. The most recent class is for next month, so don't worry about it for the time being.
In recent days, Lu Zhou has rarely seen the door of the bedroom, and has been shutting himself in the bedroom, facing the data in the computer, and devoting himself to designing experiments.
In order to design that PDMS film, he had to consult a large number of literatures, and conceived experimental ideas based on this.
The reason that made him so focused was, of course, a matter of money.
Keeping a large piece of gold mine, if he didn't get something from it, he wouldn't even sleep well.
As for using a gold mine to describe this technology, it is not an exaggeration at all, and it even underestimates its value.
As early as 20 years ago, lithium metal as the negative electrode was abandoned by the industry. Due to the short-circuit problem caused by dendrite growth, the battery has become a burning / burning bomb, which "exploded" a listed company with a market value of 10 billion.
However, the strong market prospect of lithium metal still attracts countless materials science laboratories, and the influx of this subject continues.
There is ibm at the enterprise level, and even a supercomputing is prepared for the lithium air battery project. The path of each gas molecule entering the battery cell is calculated ~ EbookFREE.me ~ to avoid gas clogging problems ... although it was later found to be a bottomless pit It was cut off mercilessly by the capitalists.
At the national level, for example, the energy minister in the Australian team, Mr. Zhu Xiwen, a Chinese American who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1997, has been an avid supporter of lithium anode batteries for a while ... Persuaded.
As for why lithium batteries have such fascinating magic, the concept of energy density has to be mentioned.
The so-called energy density is the energy contained in a unit volume. As the most important indicator to measure the performance of a battery, improving the energy density has been the pursuit of the industry.
Even in China's 13th Five-Year Plan, a clear plan was made to synchronize the level of power battery technology with the international level by 2020, and maintain a global leading capacity scale. The core red line is to increase the energy density of the power battery to 300-350wh / kg.
At present, the lithium-sulfur batteries still in the laboratory are most likely to come out on top.
But if the problem of lithium dendrites is solved, all those hot concepts will have to stand aside and make way for lithium negative batteries.
Anyone who has studied chemistry knows that first of all, the lithium metal negative electrode has the lowest electrochemical potential-3.04v, let alone a specific capacity of 3,861mah / g.
Using lithium material as a negative electrode, the theoretical energy storage effect can even reach ten times that of graphite batteries. The energy density of graphite anode materials can be rolled in all directions!
And the most tempting thing is that once the lithium dendrite growth problem is solved, there is no need to make large design changes to the existing battery. Even if the existing common graphite anode material is directly replaced, the battery energy can be realized. A leap in density!
