Chapter 92 A New Discovery

Two days later, Xu You came to Qiao Sen's laboratory again with his new theory and the stack of papers.

Seeing the stack of papers that Xu You was carrying, Qiao Sen was surprised and said:

"Have you finished reading it all?"

"Well, I finished reading it, and found some new things."

"Oh? Sit down and talk slowly."

Xu You was not in a hurry to explain his theory, but first sorted out the bundle of papers and put them back to the previous place.

Xu You knew that he would have to borrow some materials from Qiao Sen frequently in the future.

It's easy to borrow and repay, and it's not difficult to borrow again.

"Teacher, there are 58 theses in total, and there are quite a few of them. I will put them back for you."

"Ah, it's okay, you're welcome, just let it go."

After sorting out the paper, Xu You said to Qiao Sen:

"Teacher, I may have discovered some new properties of aluminum superconductivity."

"Aluminum superconductivity?" Johnson asked.

Qiao Sen naturally knew that aluminum was a superconducting substance.

Aluminum atoms exhibit superconducting properties at extremely low temperatures (about 1K).

But this is a property that was discovered by the physics community a long time ago.

Since Xu You came here on purpose, he definitely didn't just discover this kind of thing that the predecessors had discovered long ago.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should not be talking about the superconducting properties of aluminum atoms."

"Of course, teacher, I am not referring to the superconductivity of aluminum atoms. Although I am not sure whether my theory can be verified by experiments, at least no one has discovered it before."

Before Xu You came to Qiao Sen, he had already confirmed that this was a new theory, so he came to Qiao Sen on purpose.

"Well, let's talk about the core of your theory first."

"Teacher, you know atomic clusters, right?"

"Atomic clusters? It's a special structure in which multiple atoms are combined, right?"

As a professor in the Department of Physics, Qiao Sen's knowledge of mathematics and chemistry is naturally quite good.

Atomic clusters are a relatively special molecular structure, and common ones like carbon 60 are a typical atomic cluster.

"That's right. My theory is related to atomic clusters."

Xu You opened the notebook, and while showing Qiao Sen his theory, he continued to explain it by himself.

Listening, Qiao Sen's expression kept changing.

"Teacher, according to my speculation, if aluminum atoms can form larger clusters of aluminum atoms, as long as Cooper pairs are produced, the properties of superconductivity can be realized. The superconductor of this kind of aluminum clusters, the superconducting critical temperature, may be higher than ordinary The bulk aluminum is much higher."

Looking at Xu You's theory, Qiao Sen didn't know how to answer it.

From the perspective of the novelty of the theory and its significance in the field of superconductivity research, this is undoubtedly a very good theory.

Although there are already many known superconducting substances, every time a new superconducting substance is discovered, it is enough to be listed in the top journals of physics.

Not to mention, this kind of simple superconductor.

For the superconducting properties of various elements, the physics community has all completed the verification.

At present, 28 superconducting elements have been discovered under normal pressure.

But few people go to the research direction of atomic clusters.

It's a pity that Qiao Sen couldn't make an objective judgment just by looking at Xu You's theory.

"Xu You, how did you come up with this theory?"

"The accumulation of knowledge and constant collision, plus a little inspiration. Teacher, what do you think of this direction, is it convenient to use experiments to verify it?"

"To be honest, your theory involves too much knowledge, and I dare not say how promising it is. But at least from the perspective of experimental verification, it is quite difficult."

Hearing Qiao Sen's words, Xu You was still a little disappointed.

If it can't be verified right or wrong, then this theory can only be said to be a hypothesis.

But Xu You was not discouraged, and continued to ask:

"Teacher, where is the main difficulty?"

"The first is the preparation of atomic clusters. You know, the field of my research is condensed matter physics, which does not involve the issue of material preparation. I am not sure whether your atomic cluster structure can be prepared. I will discuss it later. Go to the professor of the School of Materials and ask."

"Okay, then I will trouble the teacher."

"Of course, after we have the material, it's our condensed matter part. Simply put, the main job is to reach the low temperature and then measure the resistance. It sounds simple, right? In fact, the process is still very complicated and cumbersome. And the money invested is quite huge. But anyway, I'm still very willing to give it a try."

After receiving Qiao Sen's initial affirmation, hope was rekindled in Xu You's heart.

Coming out of Qiao Sen's laboratory, Xu You has been thinking about the problem of preparing aluminum clusters.

"Materials...Ji Da's materials seem to be quite satisfactory."

Xu You reckoned that Qiao Sen probably consulted a professor from the School of Materials Science and Technology of Ji University about this matter.

Engineering is Ji University's weak point, and Ji University's materials major can only rank around ten in the country.

It can be said that if you want to study engineering, you'd better not come to Ji University, because it doesn't match the school's comprehensive ability.

"Based on this level, Ji University's materials major may not be comparable to Ningjiang University's materials major."

Although Ningjiang University is just an ordinary 985 school, its engineering is considered its strength, especially its trump card major of materials.

At this time, Xu You suddenly realized a key problem.

"Fuck, isn't my dad just dealing with materials!"

All of a sudden, Xu You was a bit obsessed with the authorities, and even forgot that his father was a professor of materials.

But this was also because Xu You was usually too independent and rarely asked Xu Zhou to do things, so he never forgot to think in that direction.

Excited, Xu You quickly opened the phone's address book and called Xu Zhou.

As usual, the phone is still unreachable.

Xu You had no choice but to open WeChat, and entered the content of the message in the chat dialog with Xu Zhou:

"There is something urgent, come back quickly!"

Xu Zhou was in class, so the phone was naturally kept on silent.

After class, Xu Zhou turned on his phone and saw the missed call and WeChat message from Xu You.

"In a hurry?"

Seeing Xu You's message, Xu Zhou was a little puzzled.

Xu You is studying at Ji University, so what's the rush?

I got sick? Still hurt?

But if this is the case, it is more likely that the instructor contacted himself first.

"No, there might be something good about it. Could it be that..."

At this time, Xu Zhou thought of another possibility.

After all, the children are grown up, and university is a very free place.

Xu Zhou knew that Xu You had a high school classmate who was also admitted to Ji University.

In addition, a female teammate of Xu You in the Wujing national team has a good relationship with Xu You.

When the photo was taken, he was still standing next to Xu You.
