Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Chapter 261: Become a professor starting today

In the editorial department of Natural Chemistry, two technical editors are processing newly received manuscripts.

After all, it is one of the two top academic journals in the world, and the manuscripts received here every day can be described by thousands.

Although most of the destinations are recycle bins, there are also some outstanding papers.

Just then, Kevin, who was examining the manuscript, suddenly exclaimed a low voice.

"Unbelievable ... Someone claims to have solved the lithium dendrite ?!"

Kevin's voice immediately caught the attention of his colleagues.

I saw Creman, who was sitting next door, stood up with his coffee, got to his computer, watched the paper on the screen and pushed his glasses, and said with interest: "It's incredible ... if this is true , The battery industry will set off a new round of technological revolution. "

This statement is not exaggerated.

At present, the technical limitation of lithium batteries lies in the problem of lithium dendrites. Whether it is a portable bomb or a high-performance battery, the problem is who can solve it, the "silver fork" that pierces the diaphragm. Although it is only a small anode material, its application is too wide.

Of course, the premise of everything is that it is true.

The two editors stared at the paper for a long time, and no one could decide.

There is no problem with the format of the thesis, and there are no obvious loopholes in the text. The sensation of the research results is absolutely worthy of "Nature". But the problem is that this technology is too "black technology". Everyone is studying how to suppress the growth of lithium dendrites, and you have solved this problem directly?

So the two editors hesitated.

Standing behind Kevin, after thinking for a moment, he asked, "What do you think of this article?"

Kevin frowned: "I don't know, there is nothing wrong with the paper itself. It is definitely a breakthrough research progress in the field of lithium batteries, but ... I can't guarantee the correctness of the paper itself."

Kleman reminded: "The contributors are from Princeton."

Kevin sighed and said with a headache: "I know, but also a professor of mathematics, and won the Crawford Award in Sweden not long ago. But his only connection with materials science, after searching, I found only one Papers on computing materials. "

Kleman hesitated, saying, "With Professor Lu Zhou's academic reputation, I remember he should not make a mistake in honesty."

Kevin asked, "What's your opinion?"

"My opinion is that since the paper itself has no problems and meets the requirements of our journals, then throw this problem to academic editors to worry about it. If the experts think it is OK, I think it is also k." Kleman said.

Anyway, journals don't backfire.

"Who do you think is more appropriate then?" Kevin asked.

"Professor Ungi · g · baendi's research group at MIT has a deep research in the field of batteries, and he is also an expert in batteries, and he is authoritative enough, I think contacting him should It ’s more appropriate. ”Kleman paused for a moment and continued.“ Also, he was the reviewer of Professor Lu Zhou ’s previous computational materials paper. I think his opinion should be very important. ”

Kevin thought for a while and felt that there was no better way than doing so, so he nodded.

"Then ... just do what you say."

...

More than a week after the paper was uploaded, good news came from Nature. The paper has passed the review of the technical editor and entered the peer review process.

After hearing the news, Lu Zhou was finally relieved.

At least, his dissertation, like Jiucheng's rejected papers, was not beaten by the two reasons of "not meeting readers' interest" and "research is not innovative enough in this field".

Although "Nature" is not the only option, there are many more professional organic chemistry journals to consider, but Lu Zhou's purpose is to promote this technology. In this regard, no periodical can match the influence of two top journals, even laymen.

Now that the dissertation has been delivered to professionals, the next thing is much easier to handle. He believes that his colleagues in this field will give his research a fair evaluation.

time flies.

In an instant, it was July 5.

At Lu Zhou's request, the three masters who received ffer arrived at the Princeton University campus as scheduled.

The three freshmen are Willa Puyui from Berkeley, Qin Yue from Hua Guokai University, and Hardy Clive from Columbia University.

Among them, Willa Puyi Luzhou was a bit impressed, and he had not changed much from what he saw when he was at Berkeley. He was a small but strong girl.

Qin Yue, like the interviewer, was wearing a pair of square glasses and was very polite, but not very expressive. However, Lu Zhou still quite recognized his talent and ability in mathematics. After all, about this, he had already tested it during the interview.

As for another Brazilian guy named Hardy, his mathematical talent may be inferior to Willa and Qin Yue, but he is also a talent that stands out from those ten resumes.

For each of them, Lu Zhou formulated different requirements and training plans.

To be honest, there are not many mentors like him.

After spending an afternoon, Lu Zhou helped three people solve the admissions and dormitory problems, then called them to their office and started to arrange the work for the next month.

"Your talents and abilities are good, but to be honest, it's far from what I want of you."

Lu Zhou paid careful attention. When he said this, none of the three people expressed dissent, or even someone was looking at himself with worshiping eyes ...

With a slight cough, he cleared his throat and continued.

"... Before September, I will not let you touch my project. At your present level ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Even if you participate in my project, you can only help me make a cup of coffee. But, I I will set up a learning task for you. If any of you can pass my assessment at the end of August, then I will allow him to join my project. "

"This topic will accompany you throughout your master's career. I don't necessarily require you to solve it completely, but at least the results you produce must be something worth publishing in the" Mathematics Yearbook. "Of course, I will study with you, but The main work is still up to you, and I only provide guidance and ideas for solving some problems. "

This trick was learned with Academician Lu, and Lu Zhou felt he could learn from it.

However, just the thesis is too challenging, and Princeton naturally has to use Princeton's standards.

During the interview, Lu Zhou reminded them that studying for a master's degree here don't expect to get it all the time. He will make them live a full life every day.

Qin Yue asked nervously: "If no one completed your assessment?"

Only by passing the assessment can you participate in the project. If you cannot pass the assessment, wouldn't you have no chance to graduate?

The opportunity for the Gongpai to study abroad is not easy. Of course, he is most concerned about practical issues.

Lu Zhou thought for a while and said in a relaxed tone: "The only way to help others make coffee while learning is to pass my assessment. But I think you can be more confident. Since I choose you as me Student, it must be that you can fulfill my request. "

Compared with Qin Yue's cautiousness, Hardy showed a little overconfidence. It seemed that he did not take the test a month later in his heart and raised his hand and asked, "Professor, can I ask what the subject is? ? "

However, Lu Zhou didn't answer this question directly, just smiled slightly.

"It's about hail."
