Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

In the editorial department of Nature Chemistry, two technical editors are working on the newly received manuscript.

After all is one of the two Great World top academic journals, the manuscripts received every day can be described in terms of thousands of words.

Although more than half of the destinations are reclaimed, there are some outstanding qualities of thesis.

At this moment, Kevin, who was checking the manuscript, suddenly gave a small exclamation.

“Unbelievable… Someone claimed to have solved the lithium dendrites?!”

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

I saw Kerryman sitting next door at the coffee station and got up. He got to his computer and looked at thesis in the screen and pushed the glasses. He was interested: “It’s really incredible… if this is true The battery industry will set off a new round of technological revolution.”

This statement is no exaggeration.

At present, the bottleneck technology that restricts lithium batteries is on the issue of lithium dendrites. Whether it is a portable bomb or a high-performance battery, the question is who can solve it, the “silver fork” that pierces the diaphragm. Although it is only a small negative electrode material, its application is too broad.

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

The two editors stared at the thesis for a long time, and no one could make up their minds.

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

Therefore, the two editors hesitated.

Kerryman, standing behind Kevin, thought for a moment and asked, “What do you think of this article?”

Kevin frowned: “I don’t know, thesis itself is fine. It is definitely a breakthrough in the field of lithium batteries, but… I can’t guarantee the correctness of thesis itself.”

Kerryman reminded: “The contributor is from Princeton.”

Kevin sighed, said with a headache: “I know, and still a mathematics professor, and recently won the Crawford Award in Sweden. But his only connection with Material Science, I found that there is only one calculation. Thesis of materials.”

Kleinman hesitated and said: “With the academic reputation of Lu Zhou Professor, I remember that he should not make honest mistakes.”

Kevin asked: “What is your opinion?”

“My opinion is that since thesis itself has no problems and meets the requirements of our journals, throw it at the academic editor and worry about it. If the experts feel that there is no problem, I think it is OK,” Kerryman said.

Anyway, the journal is not a pot.

“Who do you think is appropriate?” Kevin asked.

“The research team of the MIT’s Moungi G. Bawendi Professor is deeply involved in the battery field, and he is also a battery expert and authoritative. I think he should contact him. It’s more appropriate.” Klein paused for a moment and continued. “And, Lu Zhou Professor’s previous reviewer of Material Science thesis was also his, and I think his opinion should be critical.”

Kevin thought about it and felt that there was no better way than this, so nodded said.

“That… just follow what you said.”

……

After thesis was uploaded more than a week later, there was good news from Nature. Thesis had passed the review of technical editors and entered the peer review process.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Zhou was finally relaxed.

At the very least, his thesis is not like the dismissed 90%, and is backed up by the reasons of “not in line with the reader’s interest” and “researching not enough innovation in this field”.

Although Nature is not the only option, there are many more professional Organic Chemistry journals to consider, but Lu Zhou’s goal is to promote this technology. In this regard, no journal has the same influence as even the layman.

Now that thesis has been sent to the hands of professionals, the next thing is much easier, and he believes that peers in this field will give their research a pertinent evaluation.

time flies.

In a twinkling of an eye, 7 month 15.

At the request of Lu Zhou, the three masters who received the offer arrived on the Princeton University campus as scheduled.

The three freshmans are Vera Puyue from Berkeley, Qin Yue from China, and Hardy Clive from Columbia University.

Among them, Lu Zhou was a little bit impressed, and he did not change when he saw it at Berkeley. He was a very strong but strong girl.

Qin Yue is the same as the interview, wearing a pair of square glasses, very polite, but not very good at expressing. However, Lu Zhou is quite recognized for his innate talent and ability in mathematics. After all, this has been tested during the interview.

As for another Brazilian guy named Hardy, the innate talent in mathematics may be inferior to Vera and Qin Yue, but it is also a talent that stands out from the ten resumes.

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

To be honest, the mentor who is responsible for him is really not much.

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

“Your innate talent and abilities are good, but to be honest, I am still far from your requirements.”

Lu Zhou paid careful attention. When he said this, no one of the three people expressed dissent, even someone who was looking at himself with the eyes of worship…

Gently coughed, he cleared his throat and continued.

“…Before September, I won’t let you touch my subject. At your current level, even if you participate in my topic, you can only help me make a cup of coffee. But I will give you a study mission. If someone of you can pass my assessment at the end of 8, then I will allow him to join my topic.”

“This topic will accompany you throughout your master’s career. I don’t necessarily ask you to solve it completely, but at least the results you have to produce must be something that is worth publishing in the “mathematics annual”. Of course, I will study with you, just The main job is still done by you, and I only provide guidance and ideas for solving some of the problems.”

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

However, it’s just that thesis is too challenging, and Princeton naturally has to use Princeton’s standards.

At the time of the interview, Lu Zhou reminded them that they should not be expected to get a diploma when they are studying for a master. He will let them live a full life every day.

Qin Yue asked nervously: “If no one has completed your assessment?”

Only through the assessment can you participate in the project. If you can’t pass the assessment, don’t you even have the chance to graduate?

The opportunity to study abroad is not easy. The nature he cares most is the reality.

Lu Zhou thought about it and said in a relaxed tone: “There is only one side to learn, while helping others to make coffee until I pass my assessment. But I think you can be more confident, I chose you as me. The student, that must be that you can complete my request.”

Compared with Qin Yue’s cautiousness, Hardy showed a bit of self-confidence. It seems that he did not put a test of a month later on his heart. He raised his hand and asked: “Professor, can I ask what is the subject?” ?”

However, Lu Zhou did not directly answer this question, just lightly smiled.

“Related to the hail.”
