Chapter 457: MRS Autumn Party

It was not just Professor Li Rongen who received the invitation.
Also receiving invitations at the same time were Old Tang and Academician Lu.
After sending out these three invitations, Lu Zhou suddenly found that his original worries seemed completely redundant.
Counting father and mother plus Xiaotong, three professors at Jinling University, five students of her own, and school sister ... It seems that the quota is almost used up?
As for the remaining two places, Lu Zhou thought for a long time and did not think what to do.
Professor Deligne participated in the year-end meeting of the European Mathematical Society in France, and Professor Fefferman went with him.
As for Elder Witten ...
Although he may be interested in the Nobel Prize dinner, it is a pity that he is participating in an important conference of the international theoretical physics community at CERN, and he cannot spare time.
It seems that in the weeks before Christmas, everyone is busy.
As for asking your previous roommate ...
There are not enough three places, and it always feels that no one is very good.
After thinking about it, Lu Zhou didn't think of a good note. Lu Zhou finally decided to set aside this issue.
The number of seats is empty. There is no need to make up for fourteen people.
He has more important things to do than worry about such things.
For example, find a suitable method for the industrial preparation of SG-1 materials.
In the experiments, the samples they obtained were basically chemical vapor deposition. A carbon atom film was deposited on the substrate by a high-temperature carbon source gas, and the substrate was dissolved to obtain a graphene material.
However, this is not enough. This process only obtains the original graphene raw materials. In order to enable it to achieve superconductivity at 101K, a series of processes such as N doping must be performed.
In fact, these things should have been considered by the industry, but Lu Zhou couldn't wait that long.
When an engineer with a technical background like Professor Lazelsson finally "opens his mind", he sees this market with a small profit but no competitors at all. I am afraid that his task is already cool.
For now, the most widely used field of superconducting materials is research itself.
Fortunately, before Lu Zhou, I also read some books on industrial design. I went to the engineering professor to take a few lessons. Combined with his LV2 engineering level, it is not very difficult to absorb these strange knowledge.
It may not be possible for him to design a production line from beginning to end, but it is feasible to improve the laboratory preparation method and find a cheaper synthesis method.
Really not, he simply synthesized it by laboratory methods.
Anyway, isn't it just burning money.
If the demo demo is really piled up, then he still needs to worry about money?
Not to mention burning one million yuan in, even if one billion yuan is burned ...
As the distance neared the end of the month, Professor Chirick flew to Boston for the MRS Autumn Party.
As for Lu Zhou, in addition to the experiments on the SG-1 material, there is also time to prepare for the Nobel lecture after the award ceremony.
More interestingly, he received a lot of invitations for awards during this time.
Among them is the New Vision Award, which is said to be sponsored by a Russian billionaire and founders of Google, Facebook, Tencent and other companies. There are also some awards that are not very famous, and he can't even find them online.
After all, it is the legendary Nobel Prize winner last year. No matter the age or achievement of Lu Zhou, it is full of topicality.
After setting a 25-year-old record in Prague, it took a century to break it, and it just refreshed the record by a year. To break this new record, we don't know yet to wait for centuries.
Although he didn't mind winning more prizes, so many invitations were packed into his mailbox, which really caused Lu Zhou a headache.
It seems that when this Nobel Prize comes out, I really want to talk about his popularity.
Because after going to Stockholm, he had to go to Paris. Lu Zhou did n’t have so much time to fly around the world. In the end, he asked Xiao Ai to help himself to cancel all the awards that had nothing to do with the academic world.
However, Lu Zhou later learned that the prize of the New Vision Award was a full US $ 3 million ...
He couldn't help feeling a heartache when he thought he was passing $ 3 million.
Although three million dollars may be nothing to him, who would think too much money?
Not to mention picking it up.
However, all the pushes were pushed away, and even if he did not want to repent, he could only give up.
...
On the last day of November, Lu Zhou and Princeton took a short vacation to start preparing for their trip to Stockholm.
Almost at the same time, good news came from Professor Chirick who went to Boston for the MRS Autumn Party.
On the phone, Professor Chirick said in an excited tone.
"The report was very smooth. The people who came to the report even squeezed from the aisle of the seat all the way to the hallway. You really should come and see it!"
Hearing Professor Chiric's excited tone, Lu Zhou couldn't help bending his mouth.
When he reported the dissertation on modified PDMS materials at the MRS autumn conference, the people who came to the conference also seemed to be crowded into the corridor.
Looking back now, I really miss it.
Hearing for a moment, Lu Zhou asked about the business.
"Are there companies interested in our technology?"
Chirik: "Yes, yes, but ... maybe different from what you expected."
Lu Zhou: "What do you mean?"
Chirick: "It was IBM who found me, and they were very interested in our technology, but not because of its superconducting properties, but because of the semiconductor characteristics exhibited by Mott insulators under special angles."
Lu Zhou's heart reacted immediately.
"They plan to use SG-1 materials for electronics?"
Professor Chirik nodded: "It seems to be like this ~ EbookFREE.me ~ They are doing research on the direction of carbon-based electronic devices, but they just asked me some technical details and asked if we need funding? I told them they didn't need it, and they left without saying anything. "
With that said, Chiric's voice was a little regrettable.
When the people at IBM found him, he thought they were going to pay for the patent license, but unfortunately they didn't.
Obviously, they still have concerns about whether this material is really suitable for use in electronic devices, and they need to verify it in their own laboratory.
As for the superconducting material itself, some medical device companies involved in the production of superconducting material parts, although they are interested in this technology, they are only interested.
Seeing that his partners seemed a little lost, Lu Zhou comforted him casually: "It's nothing to regret, the research of superconducting materials is not a hot topic in the industry itself, and it is normal to fail to attract the interest of the industry."
"I know, I just think that this great technology has not been recognized by the industry ..." It seems that he doesn't know how to describe this feeling. Professor Chirick paused for a while, shrugged and continued, "In short It's a pity. "
Lu Zhou: "A great technology does not hinder its greatness because it cannot attract the interest of industry, and I can assure you that it will be used in a great project."
Chiric: "For example?"
Lu Zhou gave a small cough: "I can't tell you yet. By 2025, you will naturally understand what I mean."
Professor Chirick said silently: "Well, it seems I have to wait seven years before I can reveal the answer."
