You must have seen this Chinese genius boy, yes, this kid has made another major breakthrough.
He is Cao Yuan who in 2018 made a sensation in the entire international academic community with the discovery of the superconducting angle of graphene. The top international journal "Nature" ranked first among the "Top Ten Scientific Figures in the World in the Year" in 2018.
In the past two days, he once again made a major breakthrough and published an article in "Nature Materials", a sub-issue of "Nature" magazine. Why again? Because this is already his ninth paper published in Nature magazine.
However, I am surprised, how come some garbage people can find an angle to show off everything?
What are you so upset about? It only took me 3 years to complete all the courses of elementary school, junior high school and high school. At the age of 14, I was admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China. At the age of 18, I went to graduate school at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2018, when he became the youngest Chinese scholar to publish a paper as the first author in the 149-year history of Nature magazine, he was only 22 years old. Isn't this a genius boy?
and this
are simply laymen who don’t know how to compare. Do you know how difficult it is to be accepted by a top journal like Nature?
"Nature", "Science" and "Cell" are currently the most representative, well-known and authoritative comprehensive academic journals in the world.
Taking Science as an example, it receives about 13,000 papers every year, but more than 12,000 papers are rejected, with a rejection rate of 92%, and only 8% are accepted. Why is it so difficult? This kind of international authoritative journal, because many scientific research and theoretical research projects will cite these papers and conduct research based on the theories of these papers that have been recognized by authoritative institutions. If there are problems in the papers themselves, the losses will be very large, so it must be After strict review.
If this is not intuitive enough, let me give you an example. If you can successfully publish, you can basically become a distinguished professor at a domestic 985-211 university. It’s just so valuable.
Having said so much, how useful is Cao Yuan’s research? Enough to shock the entire academic world?
First, superconductivity, superconductivity, must be a conductor. Theoretically, the resistance of superconductivity is zero, which means that we have no loss during the power transmission process. You must know that our country's UHV technology ranks first in the world. Taking a 220kv power grid with a transmission length of 1,000 kilometers as an example, theoretically, there is a loss of 3% to 5%. China's electricity consumption for the whole year of 2021 is 8,312.8 billion watts. We calculate it based on a lower loss of 3%. If superconductors are used, 249.384 billion watts can be saved every year. The value brought by this is very huge.
And this is just the economic value of superconductivity in one field, and the greater value of graphene superconductivity lies in the field of scientific research, which can better understand the principles of superconductivity in other materials.
How to achieve superconductivity through graphene? By interlacing two stacked sheets of graphene at a special "magic angle" and cooling the whole to a temperature just above absolute zero, graphene can become a superconductor. If
really breaks through and reaches the application stage, revolutionary progress will occur in many fields. To achieve this, that is, from the theoretical stage of the paper to the practical stage, it often takes decades.
The biggest problem with graphene superconductivity at present is that the temperature for graphene to superconduct needs to reach 1.7k, which is more than minus 270 degrees. If superconductivity can occur at room temperature, no surprise, Nobel Prize is just an appetizer Food will really subvert many fields. Like
