Scholar’s Advanced Technological System
Chapter 325: Adams Chemistry Prize!
If Lu Zhou knows what Professor Stanley is thinking, he will definitely look at him with a smile. bookmark our website
Heaven and earth conscience, he really did not have so much thought, playing on this boring thing.
Because, for him, there is no such necessity...
Rested in the room for one night and had nothing to do overnight.
The next day, the Organic Chemistry Symposium held by the American Chemical Society was officially held.
The participating scholars come from all over the world, from American scholars to Chinese from the Pacific Ocean.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the crowds in the wide venue were full of people.
Although there is still an hour before the official opening of the opening ceremony, many people have already sat there early.
The biennial Roger Adams Chemistry Awards ceremony was the highlight of the opening ceremony of the Organic Chemistry Symposium. Every scholar who came to attend this conference will not easily miss it.
As the first Chinese scholar to receive the medal, the award ceremony also received much attention from all walks of life.
On the way to the background preparation, Lu Zhou just met the ctv reporter who was lying in the middle of the road.
Looking at the young lady who was greeted with a microphone, Lu Zhou unexpectedly felt familiar. At this time, he suddenly remembered that the last time he attended the Clarkford Awards Ceremony in Stockholm, it seemed to be the interview with himself.
I have to say that fate is really a wonderful thing.
Smiling, the reporter Miss Sister asked with a nice voice: "Hello, Professor Lu, can I take up five minutes of your time?"
There is still one hour from the opening ceremony, and five minutes are still available.
Coupled with the good mood of Lu Zhou, he said with pleasure: "Of course."
The reporter Miss Sister handed out the microphone: "What do you think of now?"
Lu Zhou replied humorously: "This question seems to be asked too early, and the medal is now in the hands of Professor Berstein."
Miss reporter, grinning and smiling, continued: "Then I change the question, you are the first Chinese scholar to receive this honor. I believe that at this moment, your heart must be full of excitement?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said: "The excitement has indeed happened, but it was two months ago, when I was just notified of the award."
The reporter's sister continued to ask: "The public's impression of you mostly comes from your proof of Goldbach's conjecture and the honor of the Crawford Prize. For you as a mathematician, you get the Adams Chemistry Prize, I believe. Many people will be surprised. What is it that makes you interested in chemistry?"
Lu Zhou thought about it and did not answer this question directly. Instead, he smiled and asked: "Remember the words that I said to you on similar occasions in Stockholm?"
The reporter Miss Sister squatted slightly, and then smiled: "I still remember Professor Lu said that the meaning of mathematics is to change science."
"Yes, the significance of mathematics is to change science," Lu Zhou nodded with approval and praised the memory of the young lady. "And what I am doing now is trying to change the chemistry."
......
The interview was only a short five minutes.
As the opening ceremony progressed, it was soon to the moment of awarding.
In a round of applause, Lu Zhou stepped onto the podium and received a gold medal and a silver watch from the hands of Professor Bruce E. Burstein, president of the American Chemical Society.
Giving silverware to the winners is an award-winning tradition of the Adams Chemistry Prize, and each bonus is different.
This silver watch looks very small, with the emblem of acs engraved on the back. In addition to the finely crafted pattern, this watch should be worth a lot of money, but compared to the glory of the Adams Chemistry Prize, this expensive is insignificant.
Shaking hands with Lu Zhou, Professor Burstein said in a solemn tone.
"The development of new energy is related to the fate of all of us and the future of our civilization. Thank you for your contribution to the world, and your research results for more time for our future."
It turns out that this watch has this meaning.
Zheng Cheng took the glory from the old professor's hand, Lu Zhou said with pleasure: "Thank you."
Applause was heard in the venue.
In a thunderous applause, the awards ended.
However, although the awards were over, the awards ceremony did not end.
In accordance with the convention of the Roger Adams Chemistry Prize, the winners will also give a speech of no more than 60 minutes.
Compared with the simple award ceremony, this part of the content is obviously more concerned.
Under the gaze of looking forward to the eyes, Lu Zhou helped the microphone and slowly began to speak.
“Materials, energy, and information technology are the three pillars of modern technology. However, in addition to information technology, in the past half century, our research in the fields of materials and energy has been slow.”
"However, in fact, the academic community is not doing nothing like the misunderstanding of the outside world. Every day, there are new technologies, which are born in laboratories in some corners of the world. I believe that everyone here is also deeply experienced, and we There is no shortage of new materials, but it lacks what we need."
“I think the reason is because we lack a theoretical basis for the system and can only find the materials we need based on the scientific intuition of the researchers.”
"And this is my motivation to study computational materials science," paused for a moment, watching the scholars in the venue, Lu Zhou continued, "I believe that under rigorous calculations, the products we need can actually be expected. By calculation, we can save a lot of cost and time."
Upon hearing this sentence, the professors and scholars at the scene suddenly became tight.
Lying in the trough, this guy won’t start selling his mathematical proof again? !
"... Next, my report will be based on a semi-academic nature."
Upon hearing this sentence, many scholars at the stage were relieved, especially a few chemistry professors with poor mathematics, and they showed a relief expression.
There is no doubt that computational materials science is a promising research direction, and the general view of academics also recognizes its value, but the theory proposed by Professor Lu is too difficult to understand.
Although many professors of crystal chemistry and nanomaterials have an understanding of the principles of geometry and topology, this understanding is far from being deep, and it has only been a rough understanding because of professional needs.
But now it seems that their fears are superfluous.
Lu Zhou said that this is a semi-academic speech, and certainly will not tell those difficult things when they come up.
"...I am studying the effect of the pore size and specific surface area of carbon nanospheres on the diffusion rate of polysulfide compounds, using a copolymer of polyaniline polypyrrole as a precursor and polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride as a pore. Agent, in a simple carbonization reaction, prepared a series of products I needed."
Said, Lu Zhou picked up the chalk from the podium, drew a simple molecular model on the blackboard behind him, and marked the surface area, aperture and other data next to it.
Up to this point, it is very easy to understand.
However, when everyone was relaxed and vigilant, Lu Zhou stopped the chalk in his hand and continued to talk after thinking for a while.
“When I studied these products, I found something very interesting...”
Soon, he wrote the first line of calculations.
Then, it’s out of control...
Sitting in the back row of the lecture hall, Woods looked around with some uneasiness.
Before becoming Exo's ceo, he was an engineer and he did not know anything about the chemical industry. Even if I have not done research work, the paper is still understandable.
However, now, the things on the blackboard are the illusion that he has produced his own doctoral degree.
Taking a deep breath, Woods looked at Professor Stanley sitting next to him and asked for a low voice.
“Is the semi-academic report so difficult to understand?”
Professor Stanley’s expression was subtle and hesitated for a long time before he barely said.
"Under normal circumstances, this is not the case..."
But obviously.
This is not the general case.
