Chapter 239 Shock! Xihai University actually engaged in insider trading!
International public opinion also quickly spread to the country.
In fact, the news was received earlier in China, but because the results had not yet been released, some media released "grapevine information" and no one paid attention.
Now that the research has been published, even if it is only in the form of a newsletter, it has attracted a lot of attention, mainly because the results are so shocking.
This is the secret of superconductivity!
The previous research on the "law of superconductivity" has been very shocking. It has cracked the relationship between single elements and the critical temperature of superconductivity. Many scholars believe that the next step of research will definitely take a long time, not to mention a few months, but a few.
Years, decades, or even hundreds of years are possible.
At that time, scholars who understood the content conducted popular science, and the superconducting laws were expanded to the next step, and the complexity increased exponentially.
Few people dare to think that Wang Hao was able to complete his research in such a short period of time.
This speed is really shocking.
At the same time, many people were also shocked by the results. Domestic public opinion continued to discuss, mainly around the research field of superconductivity. The country was already far ahead of the international.
Wang Hao and his team naturally belong to domestic research.
There have been many voices of admiration in domestic public opinion, "Superconductivity represents the foundation for technological take-off in the next few decades, and the country is already leading in this field!"
"Subsequent applications will definitely take the lead. Master Wang Hao has already developed the theory, and the follow-up applications will be involved!"
"Will there be new breakthroughs in high-temperature superconducting materials soon?"
"According to the latest achievements of Wang Hao, you can know what kind of materials have higher superconducting critical temperatures by just sitting in the office. Superconducting technology may definitely take off!"
Compared with public opinion, academic circles are more concerned with the content of specific papers.
"Science" magazine only published a quick news of the results without the specific content of the paper. More scholars want to know how to calculate it.
If calculations are done like the law of superconductivity, it will definitely lead the research on high-temperature superconducting materials and achieve leapfrog development.
Not to mention scholars in the physics community, scholars in other fields are also very concerned about the results.
Because the achievement itself is related to superconducting technology, and superconducting technology is considered to be equivalent to nuclear fusion technology and can lead to earth-shaking changes in human science and technology.
So to what extent has the research reached?
Is it possible to know through direct calculation what kind of materials have high-temperature superconducting properties?
These are uncertain until I see the formal paper.
Shuimu University.
Qiu Chengwen was sitting in the office of the Mathematics Center, looking at the news report in Science magazine, and he felt incredible in his heart.
When Birkar left before, he told him that there would definitely be big results, but he didn't expect it to be such a major result.
"No wonder Kachel has been staying at Xihai University. To achieve such results, it is worth staying even for a lifetime..."
Qiu Chengwen thought a little depressed.
If the results are as published in Science magazine, the names of every researcher will leave a mark in the history of the development of superconducting technology.
Qiu Chengwen even envied Bill Carr. He was indeed a very famous mathematician and had won the top Fields Medal. But this achievement was so shocking that it far exceeded the level of the Nobel Prize in Physics.
When a research can lead to earth-shaking changes in human science and technology, it can no longer be measured by awards.
"It seems that Lin Bohan was right to go to Xihai University, and it is also right for Kachel to do research with Wang Hao."
"Alas~~"
Qiu Chengwen couldn't help but sigh as he thought about it.
After Lin Bohan went to Xihai University, he immediately made a series of achievements.
Although most of them just assist in research and just have a name on the paper, it is amazing to be able to participate in such a major research.
This will definitely affect other people's senses.
For example, people who know Lin Bohan.
Many people in the Mathematical Science Center know Lin Bohan, and they will definitely envy Lin Bohan now.
So will they consider going to Sokai University?
Qiu Chengwen's worries are not unreasonable.
Many scholars at the Mathematical Science Center are very envious of Lin Boxan, and some of them who are doing topology research are even more envious. They think that if they go to Xihai University, they will definitely do as well as Lin Boxan.
The same goes for Bill Carr.
After Birkar joined Shuimu University, he did not have any major research results.
This is actually quite normal.
Research in the field of algebraic geometry is very complex. Some people spend their whole lives just wanting to achieve something. Even as a Fields winner, it is very difficult to achieve results. But by doing research together, Bill Carr and Wang Hao can achieve such significant results.
The result, even if it’s just a second game, is amazing.
For a time, some people in the Mathematical Science Center were restless.
at the same time.
Baker-Campbell was sitting in his office, looking at the latest issue of Science magazine. He was surprised to see Wang Hao's research results, and the introduction of the results took up five pages.
It is the first time in recent decades that a single results newsletter occupies so much space in the main journal of Science.
Of course, this isn't what Campbell cares about.
Campbell is concerned about why Wang Hao's research results appear in the main journal of Science.
Before, he was wondering why he had not received Wang Hao's submission for a long time, but now he learned that Wang Hao had submitted his paper to his competitor "Science".
Why?
Why!
How could "Science" magazine publish it so quickly? Doesn't it need to be reviewed?
Campbell realizes he seems to have been tricked?
He wrote an angry email to Donald Konidy, but the tone was relatively good because Donald Konidy was a woman.
Just asking…
Then he received a reply email from Donald Conidy, "Did you mention the question you asked last time?"
"I still hold the same view. Of course, Science magazine needs to review manuscripts. Even if it is a manuscript written by Fields, a Nobel laureate, we will conduct peer review."
"But, you didn't mention Wang Hao's name before."
"Wang Hao is different."
"He is also a Fields winner, but in the field of superconducting mechanism, he is unique. He pioneered this field, and there is no peer of his in the world."
“Do we also have to review the submissions sent by Einstein?”
Campbell was left speechless.
He read the email for a long time and didn't know how to continue questioning it, because the other party was right. If it were Einstein's contribution, of course there would be no need for review.
Who in the current world of physics can compare with Einstein?
And Wang Hao...
Wang Hao's research on superconductivity has created a brand new system. He is the founder of the system. There is really no peer to speak of, so Wang Hao's research on superconductivity does not need review at all.
However, Campbell still felt very depressed. He felt that he had been tricked by a woman.
Wang Hao obviously submitted his paper to Nature first, but finally submitted it to Science magazine because of his rejection. Such an important study was missed by Nature.
Campbell felt his heart bleeding. Before he could feel the pain, the office door was pushed open violently.
Magdalena Skipper walked in quickly and threw the magazine in her hand on Campbell's table. The magazine collided with the table and made a "bang" sound.
Magdalena said angrily, "Baker! Mr. Campbell! Please explain why Wang Hao's research was published in Science magazine?"
"Our work email addresses are all recorded. As far as I know, he probably sent you the email first!"
"Please explain!"
"Otherwise, I have reason to doubt whether you are a female clerk at Science? Or maybe you have already considered working at Amrican?"
At the door, a group of people were watching.
Campbell glanced at the door and felt extremely embarrassed. He quickly said, "Magdalena, let me explain."
"Please call me Ms. Skipper!"
"Well, Ms. Skipper, I was just thinking about the review..."
"Review? Does Wang Hao's research still need to be reviewed? Your mind is as stupid as a pig!" Magdalena said angrily, "Mr. Campbell, I am officially informing you that you have been demoted."
"If you want to keep your job, start over as a review editor!"
"If you are not satisfied, you can go to the union. I have evidence of email exchanges between you and Konidi. This decision is based on the fact that you have worked for more than ten years, otherwise you will be fired directly!"
"It's really hard to imagine..."
"You are actually fascinated by that old woman who is almost 60 years old. I really wonder if you have any special disgusting habits..."
"Or have you lost your basic functions a long time ago and are just looking for a kind of comfort similar to that of a mother?"
…
One week later.
"Science-Physics" published Wang Hao's latest research paper.
Within a short period of time after the latest issue of "Science-Physics" was released, they received a large amount of new order information, and the traffic of the official website increased significantly, and the research paper "Semi-topological analysis of microscopic morphology in conductors" was published in a short period of time.
It received a large number of downloads.
For a time, mathematicians and physicists all over the world seemed to be quiet.
There are still vigorous reports in the media, but no experts have come forward to explain it. Many top scholars have studied the content of "Semi-topological analysis of microscopic morphology in conductors".
"Semi-topological analysis of microscopic morphology in conductors" is very complex. To understand all the contents, you need knowledge of function theory, geometry, algebraic geometry, topology, complexity theory and other aspects.
It is difficult for ordinary scholars to possess knowledge in so many fields at the same time.
Therefore, the choice of most scholars is not to understand the entire content, but to study the specific content of the paper, how extensive the expansion of the law of superconductivity is, and how complex the calculations are.
Soon they were shocked.
The specific content of the paper is the same as the newsletter in Science magazine, which is about extending the law of superconductivity to all materials.
According to the paper, the superconducting critical temperature can be calculated and analyzed for any material, but the calculation is simpler for materials with fewer elements.
Double elements are definitely the simplest,
So some teams began to study the content of dual elements, but they found that the calculation was still very complicated.
Of course, as long as the calculation can be done, it doesn't matter if it's more complicated.
Previously, Stanford University formed a team to study expanding the scope of superconducting laws, but they had only just formed the team and had not even raised funds before Wang Hao had already completed the research.
Now their team happens to be studying Wang Hao's results together, and their research speed is also the fastest. It only took four days to verify an oxidized metal material.
They conducted tests on the critical temperature of superconducting and proved that the calculated results and the test results were very similar, with the difference only within 1K.
This result can already explain the problem.
Professor Brooks, leader of the Stanford University team, was interviewed about the verification results, "We did a verification and proved that the error is very small, even negligible, because the error is not necessarily in calculations, but may also be in experiments."
"We are not 100% sure whether this research is correct, but it is basically accurate for two elements, and it may also be accurate when extended to three elements, four elements, or more elements."
"Because the research is very complex, we have no way to make a direct judgment."
"But in any case, this result is extremely close to cracking the superconducting mechanism. Our entire team is very surprised. It seems to have cracked the mystery of the universe and the mystery of the gods."
"Unfortunately, the calculation method is very complicated. It only took our entire team four days to calculate two elements."
"As the number of elements increases, the computational complexity increases exponentially. The exponential I am talking about is not square, maybe cubic, fourth power or even more times."
"We first
Even the simplest three-element combination will take several months to complete."
"Unless computing methods can be massively simplified in the future, it will be almost impossible to calculate the combination of four elements."
Brooks said with regret written all over his face.
Because only the superconducting critical temperature of dual elements can be calculated, and the critical temperature of dual element superconducting is very low, it is basically impossible to achieve high-temperature superconductivity, that is, it is unlikely to exceed 30K.
soon.
Schindler James, an expert from the University of Oxford in Eagle Country, was also interviewed by reporters. They also determined the correctness of a binary combination.
Schindler-James affirmed the research results and was as amazed as Brooks. Then he talked about the calculation problem, "The calculation of the superconducting critical temperature of element combinations mainly uses algebraic geometry and mathematical analysis methods.
."
"For this research, I believe that it can be simplified to a certain extent in the future, but it still requires mathematicians who are proficient in algebraic geometry to complete it."
"In fact, it's like solving an equation. You only need to use the numerical substitution method to calculate, but the calculation process is very complicated."
"I think there are two most important points in this research. In terms of application, he has cracked the mystery of the critical temperature of superconducting to a certain extent."
"Academically, he connected algebraic geometry, topology and physics."
"Especially algebraic geometry."
"The general perception in the mathematics community is that algebraic geometry is pure mathematics and has almost no connection with applications."
"After this research, algebraic geometry may become applied mathematics, which greatly enhances the status of algebraic geometry. Future research on superconducting materials will definitely require a large number of algebraic geometry experts."
The domestic response is slightly different from that abroad.
The country has absolute trust in Wang Hao, and Wang Hao's paper has been submitted before publication and has been experimentally verified, so there is no need for further verification.
Domestic public opinion is still dominated by surprise and excitement. At the same time, the reactions of various universities are a bit strange.
They feel something is wrong.
Many domestic scholars have studied Wang Hao's latest achievements, especially the calculation of the superconducting critical temperature of two elements, and found that talents in the field of algebraic geometry are needed.
Because the research involves a lot of content in the field of algebraic geometry, even if the research content is simplified in the future, it will definitely require experts in the field of algebraic geometry to complete it.
Many universities suddenly thought of Xihai University.
Xihai University previously recruited a large number of algebraic geometry talents. They thought it was to create a scientific research environment for algebraic geometry and pave the way for Bill Carr to go to Xihai University.
Now they find that their thinking is too simple!
What was Xihai University doing to lay the groundwork? They immediately recruited a large number of talents in the field of algebraic geometry simply because they had first-hand information.
Algebraic geometry is a very niche field, and talents are concentrated in a few top universities.
For example, Capital University, Shuimu University, Donggang University, etc.
Almost all talents in the field of algebraic geometry have been poached from these universities.
Now seeing the results published by Wang Hao, they all have the urge to scold them.
For example, Gao Zhenming.
Previously, he was worried that his outstanding disciple Zhang He might give up the study of algebraic geometry in the future because he could not stay and work at Capital University. Then he suggested that Zhang He go to Xihai University.
Xihai University signed Zhang He very quickly, and the speed was really shocking.
Gao Zhenming was still happy for Zhang He, but now he only had the urge to curse, and he even thought of reporting Xihai University.
If placed in securities trading, what Sokai University did is absolutely illegal insider trading.
When Gao Zhenming thought about Zhang He going to Xihai University, he felt his heart bleed. Even in the whole country, even in the whole world, Zhang He is also a very outstanding talent, just because he studied algebraic geometry.
, it’s just difficult to find a stable job in a university.
There are many people who have similar senses to Gao Zhenming.
Shuimu University also had one poached, and it was Qiu Chengwen who personally recommended it.
If he goes to establish the Mathematical Sciences Center, he will also hope that the scholars there will have a good prospect in the future.
After learning about Xihai University's latest policy, he recommended a postdoctoral fellow to Xihai University.
Now that the agreement has been signed, it is impossible to come back!
Introducing young scholars into universities is like buying stocks. In the past, algebraic geometry scholars were the kind of stocks that had a hard time rising. If you recruit one, you will only continue to lose money.
Generally, universities only sign two young scholars in the field of algebraic geometry for the purpose of diversifying talents.
Some very ordinary universities don't even care about scholars in the field of algebraic geometry. They focus more on fields that can produce results.
For example, partial differential equations.
For example, function theory.
For example, computational mathematics.
etc.
Now because of a research result, algebraic geometry stocks have received super benefits, and may continue to rise and limit many times in the future.
It will be difficult to buy this kind of stock again!
Nowadays, algebraic geometry talents have become a hot commodity, and even some materials companies have sent out signals that they want to recruit talents in algebraic geometry-related fields.
Your own talents have been poached, and you won’t be able to buy them back.
what to do?
When they thought about Xihai University again, they all gritted their teeth.
