I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 531 It is necessary to add fuel to the fire in the field of superconducting thin films
MIT Southeast Location.

On the evening of the 6th, a heavy snow covered the modern city, and even on the next day, the heavy snow did not stop.

The young man, wrapped in a black down jacket, walked forward against the wind and snow. The snow showed no sign of stopping, and the cold wind mixed with snow particles fell on people.

"Whoo~"

At the office door, Xu Qingzhou shook off the snow on his clothes, stamped his feet twice, and then walked into the office.

In an instant, three pairs of eyes were staring at him eagerly.

"Mr. Carson, I think we need to add fuel to the fire in the field of superconducting thin films."

Xu Qingzhou did not keep the secret this time and handed the characterization test report to Carson.

"All four groups of samples are qualified!" Carson looked through the report and grinned. All indicators have reached commercial-grade standards. No, the most core Jc even exceeded it by a large margin.

Sun Simin and Mars' faces were also filled with excitement.

Xu Qingzhou smiled faintly, he could understand everyone's excitement. In fact, everyone had been working continuously for more than three weeks since he came back from the New Year.

When doing experiments, there are always small accidents. For example, just when the roughness problem was solved, the grain size showed an unexpected problem, and the value rose sharply, which was like suppressing one problem but causing another to pop up.

It was five days later than expected. Fortunately, hard work paid off and all values ​​tended to be stable. Now that the topological superconducting interface engineering has been completed, we can move to the next stage and raise the Jc performance to 5×3.0 A/cm.

Of course, we have to give everyone a short break first.

"Okay, everyone, I think you can all get a good night's sleep tonight. Enjoy your four-day holiday and relax."

"Long live the professor!"

"By the way, Carson, don't forget to synchronize our research progress. We have been catching up, and now it's time to put some pressure on others."

"Don't worry, boss. I was already thinking about the copy last night. This time, we have to let those guys who are already opening champagne to celebrate know what a miracle is!"

At 3 pm, Xu Qingzhou drove out of MIT, went shopping for groceries, and then returned to the apartment. Only Er Miao and Little Waste were at home, and Song Yao was still at school working on a project with Professor Morton.

"It's still more comfortable lying down."

Xu Qingzhou leaned back on the sofa, put his hands behind his head, and returned to the familiar environment. He immediately relaxed his mind. He had been very busy during this period.

Seeing the two-legged beast lying down, Ermao came over with his tail wagging and curled up on Xu Qingzhou's belly to sleep.

After a while, Song Yao sent a message saying that she would be home at 5:30.

After Xu Qingzhou replied to Song Yao, he had nothing to do, so he opened Weibo. He hadn't been on this platform for a while, and he had gained more than 100,000 fans.

He has a lot of topics to talk about.

He looked at it carefully and found that it was the news about the companion particle that was reported back to the country.

"Xu Shen is awesome!"

"I was wondering why God Xu had been silent for so long. It turns out he was holding back something big."

"The companion particle of the Higgs boson. Is this discovery by God Xu good enough to win this year's Nobel Prize?"

"The Nobel Prize in Physics is usually awarded to scientists who have made the most significant discoveries or inventions in the field of physics. The discovery of the companion particle is a breakthrough, but it was not proposed or discovered by Xu Shen alone. In recent years, there have been many achievements in the field of physics, such as physical cosmology, quantum information and quantum computing, neutrino mass order, atomic molecular and optical physics. There are so many achievements, giving people the feeling that the world is about to undergo a new technological revolution."

"That's right. Besides, there is usually a delay in getting the Nobel Prize. It feels like even if I win, it might be a few years later. But I think the nomination should be no problem."

"Then here comes the question. I saw news a few days ago that Master Xu was doing experiments on condensed matter, wasn't he?"

"Xu Qingzhou: Don't worry about the cheating."

"The more you learn, the more you realize that Xu Qingzhou is the bug of this world. He knows everything." "Brother, you are a new fan. Old fans all know that Xu Shen runs on multiple cores."

The Weibo comment section is quite lively.

Xu Qingzhou browsed Weibo for a while, then glanced at the experimental progress that Carson had synchronized. After seeing that there was no problem, he got up to prepare the dishes.

That netizen is right. There is a possibility of winning the Nobel Prize in Physics, but the competition is fierce. Currently, the most popular fields are topological materials in condensed matter and quantum entanglement.
Although, if memory serves me, it was awarded to cosmology.

He is not in a hurry. The Nobel Prize is only a matter of time.

At the same time, in James Laboratory at MIT.

Pani Nek had just come out of the lab, checking his phone while waiting for his friends to go out for a drink.

A few minutes later, the young physicist Gort Barnes also came out.

Nick looked at the news on the forum and said to Barnes with some regret: "Oh, I still didn't expect that Xu Qingzhou would go to do particle physics experiments."

"Higgs boson companion particle"

Barnes showed a strange expression and changed into his down jacket. "Could it be that he found out that superconducting thin films were not feasible and cut his losses in time? But why didn't he do mathematics, which is what he is best at?"

It’s no wonder Barnes thought so. No matter how smart a person is, he only has 24 hours like them.

Calculating the range of companion particles is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

To this day, he still can't understand why such a popular mathematician, who had just won the Fields Medal, was world-famous and could be said to be at the peak of his career, did not study mathematics, but instead went to their field of physics to stir up trouble.

Some big guys do study both mathematics and physics, but they generally have a strong emphasis on one.

It is rare to see someone like Xu Qingzhou, who is good at doing things here and there.

"Maybe."

Neck shrugged.

From the current perspective, Xu Qingzhou's team still has something and can make industrial-grade superconducting films in a short period of time. It's a pity that they entered the market at the wrong time.

Superconducting thin films have been developing rapidly in recent years.

At some conferences, some experts have even proposed raising the commercial-grade standard from 1.5×10 A/cm to 3×10 A/cm.

Because the current superconducting films with Jc(12 T)≥1.5×10 A/cm can no longer meet the requirements of future compact fusion reactors and high-field accelerators, they can only be used for scientific research and prototypes.

Although it was rejected, it still illustrates to some extent the rapid development of superconducting films.

"Okay, Barnes, we have to hurry up. We can't keep the girls waiting. I've already asked Emile and found out that the hot beauty from the last party is here too."

"Oh, hurry up!"

Barnes changed his clothes in no time.

Just before the two men left, two figures rushed into the office in a hurry. Leading the way was a white-haired old man who looked to be in his fifties. He was serious and the wrinkles on his face seemed to make up two words: serious.

He is the head of the research team, Professor James.

Barnes and Necker looked at each other, their expressions slightly stunned.

They are very familiar with Professor James's current expression. It proves that something big has happened, such as a year ago, when the topic they had been researching for half a year was published by someone else.

The middle-aged man behind Professor James also had a serious expression on his face. He said in a deep voice to the two people who were about to get off work: "Gentlemen, I think your party has to be cancelled."
