Since 1995, the Roger Adams Award has been awarded by the American Chemical Society every two years to a scholar who has made outstanding contributions to the field of organic chemistry.

As one of the top awards in the field of organic synthesis, many world-class machine chemists and Nobel laureates have won the Adams Award.

A very concise data is enough to reflect the gold content of this award.

Of the 29 winners who won the Roger Adams Award last year, 11 were Nobel Laureates in Chemistry.

Although the Adams Chemistry Prize is only for the awards in the field of organic synthesis, it does not represent the entire chemical industry, but it is still regarded as the Nobel Prize vane by many people.

After receiving this letter, Lu Zhou’s first reaction was “fortunately, I checked the mail”.

As for the second reaction, it is...

Holding the grass, wouldn't it really give me a nod? !

Just when Lu Zhou was troubled by this sudden accident, the office door suddenly opened, and Hardy, who was a senior student, was coming in with Jericho and Wei Wen.

After looking at the letter on the hands of Lu Zhou, and looking at the expression of Lu Zhou, Hardy first stunned, then shouted.

"God, Professor, have you actually received a love letter?"

Lu Zhou, who was still immersed in the joy of the Heavenly Awards, almost didn’t fall down on the stationery.

Holding the grass, what the hell? !

Carrying the sandwich and walking to the vera near the door, I just heard the voice of Hardy, and suddenly my heart tightened and went to the door nervously.

However, it seems that it is just a false alarm...

Lu Zhou glanced at Hardy and said with rudeness: "If you make fun of my personal feelings, I promise that you will spend the whole spring break in the busy schedule."

Upon hearing this threat, Hardy’s face suddenly showed an uncomfortable expression.

"Hey, please don't do this, I have planned it and mine."

Qin Yue coughed heavily, pulled his arm and interrupted the guy’s speech.

Because the total feeling makes him continue to talk, there will be some not so good things.

It’s not just Hardy’s plan, he’s planning, this spring break and his girlfriend go to the Rift Valley to enjoy the taste of the Great West.

I heard that it was not a love letter. Vera was in a good mood. Looking at the letter, she could not help but ask: "Professor, what is that?"

Lu Zhou: "Nothing, sent by the American Chemical Society."

Hardy whispered: "God, what ages are there, and people use paper letters?"

Wei Wen’s concerns are somewhat different, and he sighed slightly: “Chemistry?”

Putting the envelope back into the drawer, Lu Zhou said casually: "Well, I didn't send a paper on Nature some time ago. They are going to give me the Adams Chemistry Prize."

The office suddenly quieted down.

Everyone stood there silently, and looked at Lu Zhou with a pair of eyes.

Especially Wei Wen, his mouth is open, and he didn't close for a while.

For Lu Zhou, in addition to the three major awards, the mathematics community has no higher honor to praise his contribution, even if you go back and get a Ramanu gold award, it is just a icing on the cake.

However, this Adams Chemistry Prize is recognized in another field outside of mathematics.

Wei Wen doesn't know much about chemistry, and he doesn't know much about what lithium dendrite is. But now he clearly understands that it is not just pure mathematics. Lu Zhou is also terrible in applied mathematics.

I don't know why, my own tutor is obviously a happy thing, but his heart is a bit of a taste.

Jericho swallowed and said, "Professor, that calculation material, are you planning to open a course in this area? I mean, can I choose this direction?"

Applied Mathematics is one of the strongest majors at MIT, and Jericho has a degree in organic chemistry after completing applied mathematics.

The reason why he reported Lu Zhou's functional analysis is that he is interested in this direction on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wants to study the calculation materials with Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou smiled and said: "If you have carefully completed the learning tasks that I have assigned to you, I will tell you about this, but now I have not perfected the theory of calculating materials, and the help for you may be quite limited. ""

In the entire material science community, no one can understand his theory for the time being, and there are not many people interested in this direction in the field of mathematics.

If someone can understand his theory, he will certainly be very happy.

But at Jereco's current level, studying these things is a waste of time.

Jericho reluctantly said: "Professor, you are too modest. If you feel that your theory is not perfect, I am afraid no one dares to claim to know the calculation materials."

“It’s not modesty, it’s the rigor of science,” Lu Zhou corrected. “The mathematical model of modified pdms material is only an isolated case. This set of theory does not have the extension to other fields. Real computational materials science. It should be the ability to use a unified set of mathematical tools to perform mathematical calculations on all the materials we need."

“A theory that cannot be promoted, whether it is strong or not, is not perfect.”

This is not only the ultimate goal of computing materials, but also the ultimate goal of computational chemistry.

The effective mathematical approximation is used to calculate the properties of the molecule, such as total energy, dipole moment, quadrupole moment, vibration frequency, reactivity, etc., and to explain some specific chemical problems.

If such a test system is completed, the impact on the entire industry will be nuclear weapon-level. The experimenter only needs to set the properties of the required materials, and can launch the molecular structure through complex operations. Even if there are only hundreds of possibilities or a general direction, millions of research funds will be saved. .

This may sound whimsical, but at the speed of the current computer development, it is not impossible.

Perhaps in the near future, supercomputer will become the standard for every large material science laboratory, and the purchase of computing services to the supercomputer center will appear on the budget list of the major small and medium-sized research institutes.

After listening to these words, Jericho’s heart was shocked.

The things depicted by Lu Zhou seem to open a door in his heart, leading to a new world like never before.

If he really wants to succeed, he will undoubtedly change the face of chemistry.

Jericho is now more and more fortunate, he chose Lu Zhou as his mentor.

Wei Wen, standing next to him, showed a complex expression on his face.

He has been studying applied mathematics, but has never thought about extending the theory to the field of application, and has no interest in anything other than mathematics.

Perhaps, you should make some changes.

"A theory that cannot be promoted, whether it is strong or not, is not perfect." Vera whispered in silence, and in the blue pupil, there was a faint excitement.

I don't know if I found inspiration from Lu Zhou's words, or I have a new sense of mission to the work I am doing. In short, the little girl seems to be more energetic than before.

With their own ideas, the students in the office are in silence.

In the end, it was Hardy who broke this silence.

I saw him look serious and came to a conclusion.

“A mathematician has won a chemical award and there is no doubt that this is a great moment.”

“I think we need a party to celebrate this time!”
