From a university student to a chief academician

Chapter 179 Thesis was released, causing an international sensation

Kyoto Graphene Research Institute!

The dean of the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute is the founder of Xia Guo's material science field, No. 1 in the graphene field, and academician Fang Shan.

Academician Fang Shan mainly studies graphene, and he is also a student of academician Shi Changxu, the father of materials science in Xiaguo.

Academician Fangshan's family members have practiced medicine for generations, and their ancestors were imperial doctors in the Qing Dynasty.

Because of his family background, the graphene researched by Academician Fang Shan focuses on the medical direction, and he wants to use graphene to solve cancer problems.

in the laboratory!

Fang Shan is discussing research with his researchers.

Fang Shandao: "According to our joint research with Jinling Medical University, the far-infrared waves emitted by graphene-based devices have a stronger ability to induce tumor cell apoptosis, and can significantly inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells, prostate cells, and red intestinal cancer cells in the naked eye." Malignant proliferation and metastasis in mice..."

"Our current problem is that with the current graphene materials, tumor cells cannot be completely apoptotic, but only a part of them can be apoptotic, which can inhibit the growth of tumor cells."

"But as long as the tumor cells are not completely apoptotic, the patient is not fully recovered."

"You can only live with cancer."

Everyone nodded, this is currently the main treatment for cancer patients.

Cancer is a worldwide medical problem. With current medical methods, cancer cannot be completely eliminated.

Of course, with the development of science and technology, the proliferation of cancer cells can now be suppressed, and one day in the future, cancer cells can be completely killed, so that cancer is no longer a decision, but a curable disease.

When graphene appeared that year, it was quickly discovered that graphene has a good ability to kill cancer cells.

And without harming other cells.

As a result, many scientists began to use graphene to attack cancer cells.

Graphene, as the king of contemporary materials, is an all-round material.

Graphene is said to be a versatile material because it can be used in all industries.

Aviation, agriculture, food, automotive, biomedical, communications, information technology, security, steel, sustainability, and mobile phones.

Of course, this is only theoretical.

Because human beings' research on graphene is very shallow, and even the fur has not been developed.

Graphene still has many fields to study.

Someone asked: "Dean, last time we adjusted the angle of double-layer graphene to 2.3 degrees, didn't it kill more cancer cells? I think we can continue to adjust the angle, maybe we can kill more cancer cells." cancer cell."

Graphene is extracted from graphite.

Draw a random line with a pencil, which is several layers of graphene.

Graphene is also divided into many layers, single layer, double layer, three layer, four layer, five layer, six layer...

In 2021, Cao Yuan, a talented young man in Xia State, proposed magic-angle double-layer graphene in the journal Nature.

When the angle of double-layer graphene is 1.1 degrees, superconductivity will appear, which has caused a sensation in the entire physics world.

Since then, when people also try to study graphene, they try to adjust the angle of multi-layer graphene to see if there are some changes.

Fang Shan said: "Of course it is possible."

At this time, the assistant walked in with a mobile phone.

Fang Shan frowned and looked at the assistant who walked in, and said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you see that I was in a meeting?"

The assistant said excitedly: "Dean, just received the news that Dean Gao has made a major breakthrough and found a fullerene that is more stable than C60 fullerene."

"What?" Fang Shan couldn't believe his ears.

The assistant repeated: "Dean Gao made a major breakthrough and found a fullerene that is more stable than C60 fullerene."

As soon as the assistant finished speaking, Fang Shan jumped over the assistant and rushed out quickly.

"Dean..." The assistant looked at the back of Fang Shan who was running away, and called, "Phone..."

But Fang Shan had already rushed out of the laboratory, and the assistant put the phone to his ear helplessly, and said, "Hey, the dean should have gone to Dean Gao's, you guys should gather at Dean Gao's!"

After finishing speaking, the assistant left the research room and went to Dean Gao's as well.

After the assistant left, the rest of the people talked about it.

"Dean Gao actually discovered a fullerene that is more stable than C60 fullerene. My God, how did they do it?"

"Never mind how it was done, I believe that many deans and directors of the entire research institute have gone to Dean Gao."

"Yes, this is a big event. The world's physics, chemistry, and material circles will be in an uproar because of this. In the next time, Dean Gao and the others will be busy."

"It's fun even if you're busy when you encounter something like this!"

"..."

Fullerene Institute!

At this moment, many people gathered here.

"Old Gao, did you really find a fullerene that is more stable than C60?"

Fang Shan pushed away the crowd, and the voice had already reached Professor Gao before he reached the front.

Professor Gao was standing with Ye Fei, facing everyone's inquiries with a smile on his face.

Seeing Fang Shan squeezed in from the crowd, Professor Gao smiled and said, "Old Fang, you are here."

"Quickly tell me, have you really discovered a fullerene that is more stable than C60?" Fang Shan stared closely at Professor Gao.

Professor Gao nodded and smiled, "Yes, but I didn't discover it, it was Ye Fei who discovered it."

Fang Shan cast his eyes on Ye Fei, and said in surprise, "You discovered it?"

"Hello, Academician Fang!" Ye Fei smiled.

The number of times Ye Fei met Fang Shan at the Graphene Research Institute is very few.

Ye Fei has been here for more than half a year, and has met Fang Shan no more than five times in total.

Fang Shan said: "Tell me quickly, how did you discover a fullerene that is more stable than C60?"

Ye Fei said with a smile: "I determined the interval to search for fullerenes through mathematics, and then used experimental methods to search for the interval calculated by mathematics, and found it like this."

Everyone looked at Ye Fei in surprise.

Can math do this?
Fang Shan said in astonishment: "It's just that simple?"

"Of course!" Ye Fei nodded, "It's that simple."

Fang Shan frowned and asked, "How does mathematics determine the interval of fullerenes?"

Ye Fei was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Uh...it's a long story, and I can't explain it clearly in a few sentences, why don't I tell you in a class!"

Fang Shan smiled and said, "That's great, when are you going to start the class?"

Ye Fei said: "Anytime."

Fang Shan turned to look at the people behind him, and said, "Listen up, everyone, go and gather all the researchers from the entire research institute to listen to Ye Fei's class."

"Good!" Everyone said in unison.

They are very interested in how Ye Fei found a fullerene that is more stable than C60 fullerene through mathematical methods.

If learned, can it also be applied to other fields of graphene.

Maybe even more graphene technologies can be discovered.

Fang Shan said: "Come on, let me see what kind of fullerene it is."

Professor Gao said, "Old Fang, come on, let's see!"

Professor Gao pointed to the electron microscope not far away.

At this time, someone had just finished watching and was leaving his seat.

The man said with emotion: "It's so beautiful, I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful fullerene."

The rest of the people were very curious when they heard what he said.

Someone asked: "What kind of beauty is it?"

The man said: "Words can't describe it. You can only feel the beauty after seeing it."

Everyone who said this became even more curious, and they all wanted to see the newly discovered fullerene as soon as possible, and feel the beauty of what this person said.

After a while, Fang Shan sat down to watch.

When Fang Shan saw it under an electron microscope, the internal structure was snowflake-like fullerene.

He was surprised: "It turned out to be in the shape of a snowflake, nature is really amazing."

The next day, in the auditorium.

There are about 500 people sitting here, and Ye Feizheng is teaching them.

After listening to Ye Fei's class, I let them know that this is how they found it.

After class, Professor Gao and others began to write papers.

Ten days later, Professor Gao's office!

Ye Fei and Professor Gao sat on the sofa drinking tea.

Professor Gao put the written paper in front of Ye Fei and said, "The paper has been written, take a look."

Ye Fei picked up the paper and flipped through it for a while, then put it down, and said, "I don't know much about material science, so it's fine if you think it's good."

Professor Gao said: "I came here to ask you, what sequence do you think the newly discovered fullerene should be named after?"

Ye Fei said: "Since it was discovered within the range from C80 to C82, let's use C72!"

The reason why C72 is used is to prevent outsiders from finding the range that the newly discovered fullerene is looking for.

"C72?" Professor Gao nodded after thinking for a while, "Yes!"

The sequence is just a name, and there is no requirement that it must be named within the discovered interval.

Professor Gao said: "But there should be a name, I think it's called Black Snowflake, what do you think?"

Ye Fei shook his head and said, "This name is not beautiful, I think it is called Black Evelvet!"

"Edelweiss, also known as spray snowflake, it likes sunshine and represents hope."

"I wish C72 fullerene can bring hope to the world, because C72 fullerene brings technological progress."

"Okay!" Professor Gao said with a smile, "That's the name."

"Would you like to vote for nature, or for science?"

In terms of classification, fullerenes belong to the field of physical chemistry, and there is no clear division of whether they belong to physics or chemistry.

Fullerene and graphene are very similar in internal structure, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are relatives.

But the person who discovered graphene won the Nobel Prize in Physics, and the person who discovered fullerene won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

It is correct to say that fullerenes belong to the field of physics or chemistry.

Therefore, papers like this are not suitable for submission to the top journals of physics or chemistry, and can only be submitted to the top journals of comprehensive categories.

The top comprehensive journals are Nature and Science, these two journals.

You can vote for any one, but in terms of influence, it is naturally a little higher than science.

Ye Fei said, "Let's vote for nature!"

Speaking of nature, Ye Fei remembered that he was still the review editor of nature journals.

It's just that he seldom reviews papers, and only one comes in a few months.

Professor Gao nodded and said, "Good!"

In the afternoon, Professor Gao posted the paper on Arxiv, and then submitted it to the journal Nature.

In just one day, a sensation broke out in the international materials, physics, and chemistry circles.

Many scientists were shocked from ear to ear by the news.

North America National Institute of Nanotechnology!

The person who discovered fullerene was called Richard Smalley, who was the father of nanotechnology and later established the North American National Institute of Nanotechnology.

An astrophysicist once discovered its absorption line while studying the cosmic nebula, and cooperated with chemists to simulate the environment of the cosmic nebula on the earth, thus synthesizing fullerene.

Fullerene has also become the greatest discovery of the [-]th century, and the person who discovered fullerene won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Science is so wonderful. It is obvious that the research is on celestial bodies, but fullerenes are discovered.

Richard Smalley passed away in 2005, and the institute is now run by his student Pabala Hari.

Director's office!

After listening to the assistant's report, Harry said in surprise, "Someone in Xia Guo discovered a fullerene that is more stable than C60?"

"Oh my God!"

C60 fullerene is the most stable fullerene among fullerenes and was discovered by Harry's teacher.

Afterwards, the research institute kept the manufacturing method of C60 fullerene secret, and it was not researched by the outside world until a few years later.

After the discovery of C60 fullerene, the research institute conducted research on C60 fullerene, making Beili State's fullerene technology the world's first.

And now Xia Guo discovered a C60 fullerene that is more stable than C72 fullerene.

Harry shook his head and said, "Xia Guo must have kept the discovery method and manufacturing method of C72 fullerene a secret. Even if the manufacturing method is researched by outsiders a few years later, they will still lag behind Xia Guo in the field of fullerenes."

"God, what a disaster!"

"You call Gore!"

Gore is the Institute's Principal Investigator.

"Okay, boss!" the assistant said.

After a while, Ge Er arrived, just opened the door and came in, before he sat down, he said: "Boss, I was just looking for you, Xia Guo..."

Harry interrupted him and said, "You mean the C72 fullerene discovered by Xia Guo?"

Gore sat on the chair opposite Harry's desk and said, "You know, we must get C72 from Xia Guo as soon as possible, and then research the manufacturing method."

"That's what I want to say." Harry said, "We must not lose the number one position in fullerene technology. You know the status of fullerene in the field of materials. It is more valuable than graphene."

"Graphene has such an important role, not to mention fullerene."

"If we lose our position as the number one in fullerene technology and are surpassed by Xia Guo, it will be difficult for us to surpass Xia Guo in the field of fullerenes in the future."

"It's going to have a knock-on effect in a lot of areas."

"For example, new energy, medicine, aerospace... and some other fields."

"We may import things developed by fullerenes from Xiaguo in the future."

"This will cost North America a lot of money. We are obviously an exporter in this area, and we will soon become an importer."

"So, you know the seriousness of the situation now!"

"I know!" Gore nodded, frowning and said in a deep voice: "I think so too, now, we should figure out how to get C72 fullerene from Xiaguo, without C72 fullerene, even if we want to research, There is no other way."

"Well!" Harry said, "I will use all resources to get C72 fullerene."

Of course, Harry also knows that it is too difficult to get C72 fullerene.

Xia Guo will definitely keep the C72 fullerene, and no outsiders will be allowed to approach it, nor will it be sold to outsiders.

It was not until many years later that Xia Guo sold C72 fullerenes to the outside world, and only then did he have the opportunity to study C72 fullerenes.

It was just that at that time, Xia Guo had already made great progress in the field of C72 fullerene, leaving behind all the countries in the world by a large margin.

After Gore left, Harry received a call from above.

Harry said: "The difficulty now is that we don't have C72 fullerene materials. If there are C72 fullerene materials, we can study the production method of C72 fullerene."

The person above said: "I will find a way to get the C72 fullerene material from Xia Guo."

England, University of Manchester!

Andre Heim is Professor of Physics at the University of Manchester.

At the same time, he and Konstantin Novoselov jointly discovered graphene, and the two won the Nobel Prize in Physics for graphene in 2010.

Haim's office!
Sitting on the chair behind the desk, Haim said in surprise, "Xia Guo unexpectedly discovered a fullerene that is more stable than C60 fullerene, C72 fullerene."

Haim shook his head and said: "It seems that the North Li country's first position in fullerene technology will not be maintained."

Haim will not be anxious, although England's fullerene technology is stronger than that of Xia Guo.

But as long as it is not the first, the second, third, and fourth positions are all the same.

What is really anxious now is the first place, and the first place in Beili's fullerene technology cannot be maintained.

This will cause Beili Country to lose a lot in future fullerene transactions, and the products manufactured by fullerene lag behind Xia Country.

Even some of Xia Guo's products are not sold to the outside world. Seeing Xia Guo surpassing Bei Li country step by step, Bei Li country can only be anxious.

Haim said: "There should be a fullerene press conference at that time, you must go and listen."

At this moment, not only North Korea and England, but also Japan, Korea, India, and European countries.

The news spread very quickly. Within a day, many people in the physics, chemistry and material circles in almost all countries on the earth knew that Xia Guo discovered a fullerene that is more stable than C60 fullerene, C72 fullerene .

Everyone who heard the news was shocked!
They also know that the field of fullerenes will undergo major changes in the future.

Many people shook their heads: "Xia Guo copied the old background of Beili Country, and discovered the most stable fullerene in the world."

"You should know that the most stable fullerene in the past was C60 fullerene, which was also the first discovered by scientists from North America."

"Beili country must be very anxious now!"

Xia Guo, Kyoto Graphene Research Institute!
Someone above heard that after the Kyoto Graphene Research Institute discovered C72 fullerene, Geng Ye, director of the Science and Technology Department, came down to visit in person.

Knowing that it was Ye Fei who discovered C72 fullerene, Geng Ye laughed and patted Ye Fei on the shoulder, saying: "You are really good at it, you can do whatever you want, if I give you a spaceship, won't you Can fly out of the solar system."

Ye Fei smiled and said, "Mr. Geng, if you really give me a spaceship, I can really fly out of the solar system."

"Then I won't give it." Geng Ye shook his head and said: "I don't want you to leave the earth, otherwise I won't be able to find you. How distressed I am. For a talent like you, it's better to stay in Xiaguo."

"Haha..." Everyone around laughed.

"Okay, let's get back to business!" Geng Ye said: "Dean Gao, C72 fullerene must be kept highly confidential, and no outsiders should be allowed to approach it. Moreover, C72 fullerene will not be sold outside for at least five years."

Dean Gao nodded and said: "I think so too. I have locked all the C72 fullerenes I have produced in the vault, and only I can enter."

"And the security level around is very high, even a fly can't even think about flying in."

"Every time I take C72 fullerene from the vault for experiments, I take it myself."

"After the experiment, I recorded the materials and residues of C72 fullerene, and I destroyed the residues myself."

"En!" Geng Ye nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Dean Gao, should you hold a fullerene press conference?"

Professor Gao nodded and said: "Yes, this is necessary. It is impossible to fool such a big discovery with a paper. A fullerene conference must be held."

The discovery of C60 fullerene, which is more stable than C72 fullerene, held a fullerene press conference, not just announcing their discovery.

It also publicized that Xiaguo has the most stable fullerene in the world.

This can expand Xia Guo's influence in the field of fullerenes, and enhance the country's international influence and comprehensive national strength.

Geng Ye said: "Who will host the fullerene conference?"

Everyone looked at each other, who will host the fullerene press conference, there is a lot of knowledge in it.

Everyone wants to go, as long as you go up, you will have a strong resume.

But they also knew that only Professor Gao and Ye Fei could go up to speak, and the rest were not qualified to go up.

Professor Gao said: "Let Dean Ye come, he is the one who discovered fullerene."

Ye Fei quickly declined: "No, no, I think it's better to let Professor Gao come!"

Ye Fei also wanted to go up, but this is Dean Gao's territory, so he shouldn't go up here in a presumptuous manner.

"That's the decision." Geng Ye said: "Ye Fei, you go!"

Geng Ye liked Ye Fei more and more, and wanted to push Ye Fei up.

A capable person should step forward and let him shine.

Professor Gao said, "Good!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Geng Ye said to let Ye Fei go up, no matter how ignorant they are, they still have to agree to this matter.

"President Geng, I..." Ye Fei wanted to say something else.

Geng Ye directly interrupted with a wave of his hand: "That's the decision, you don't need to say more."

Ye Fei glanced at Professor Gao, who nodded with a smile.

Ye Fei said: "Okay, then I'll go up!"

The next day!

Xiaguo Kyoto Graphene Research Institute sent invitations to many scientists from the international physics, chemistry and materials circles.

We sincerely invite you to gather at the Kyoto International Convention Center on October 2028, 10 to participate in the C1 Fullerene Fullerene Conference!
