Chapter 114 You impressed me again
Hearing Xu You's nonchalant answer, Lin Shi and Luo Wenkun couldn't help but exclaim "Oh my God!"
Even Lou Song shrugged his shoulders, saying that this was indeed too unbelievable.
"No, Xu You, when did you publish another article in Nature? Is publishing a paper in Nature really as easy as drinking water?" Lin Shi said.
"I told you before that Xu You was a god, but you didn't believe me. Now you know that this is not something a human can do."
"Okay, okay, go and do your work, don't delay publishing the paper. I'll take care of the project application, and you don't have to worry about it, Lou Song. I'll contact you when I have news. Well, I'll create a group in a while, and if there is anything, just talk in the group."
"Okay, thank you for your help. I'll be leaving now."
After arriving at Qiao Sen's office, Qiao Sen and Xu You talked about some areas of the paper that needed to be revised.
There aren't many things that need to be revised, but apart from these, Qiao Sen also said something else.
The editor of Nature also gave high praise to the value of this paper.
This was a very rare thing in the past.
Although it seems that the superconductivity of iron atom clusters is somewhat similar to the superconductivity of aluminum atom clusters before.
But in fact, in addition to the special structure of atomic clusters, the superconductivity of iron atomic clusters has another meaning.
Because iron is a relatively special metal with strong magnetism.
This is also a very special property in the field of superconductors.
This superconductor, which has both magnetic and conductive properties, is likely to play a big role in the field of molecular electronic devices in the future.
If this special superconductor can be used to make some molecular electronic devices.
It is possible to replace solid-state electronic components such as silicon-based semiconductor transistors to assemble logic circuits or even complete molecular computers.
When Xu You was researching this topic, he did not know that iron cluster superconductivity would have such great significance.
After listening to Qiao Sen's story, Xu You suddenly thought of something.
"Teacher Qiao, so, is it possible that the results of this project will be of some help to the field of superconducting quantum computers?"
"Yes, in theory it is true. Molecular devices assembled from this type of atomic cluster may be used to manufacture more tightly integrated devices, memories with faster data processing speeds, and even be used in quantum computers."
After hearing Qiao Sen's words, Xu You also fell into deep thought.
Because such properties are closely related to the research direction assigned to the "Island" quantum computer by the Qiaosen Laboratory.
"Then Professor Qiao, why don't you publish this paper in Nature?"
Xu You had just published an article in Nature and no longer cared much about this kind of honor.
Anyway, it has basically passed the review of "Nature", which has already affirmed Xu You's scientific research results.
Qiao Sen was also a little surprised to hear Xu You say this.
"Xu You, don't worry. This only shows that materials such as iron atom clusters may be of some help to quantum computers. Moreover, even if you publish it, it does not mean that other laboratories can completely repeat our research. After all, many things cannot be reflected in papers. You don't have to give up the opportunity to publish in Nature because of these problems."
Although considering the "Island" plan, it might be better not to publish in Nature.
But such behavior is undoubtedly a form of moral kidnapping.
Qiao Sen had no reason to help Xu You make a decision.
"Teacher, for me, it doesn't matter if I publish in Nature , since I have already published one. In fact, this experiment is relatively easy to reproduce overall. Since my father can make this kind of material, American scientists can do the same. What I am worried about now is that the editor of Nature has read this paper. Even if I don't publish it, will the US know about this research result?"
Xu You didn't particularly care about the honor brought by an article in Nature.
To a certain extent, as long as Xu You can obtain sufficient scientific research resources.
Xu You doesn't care about those honors.
A lot of really great scientists.
They are also conducting research quietly and do not receive as much attention as celebrities.
Xu You also yearns for such a low-key yet fulfilling life.
However, Xu You was worried that it might be too late to cancel the plan to publish the paper now.
"Because we are only at the stage of review and rejection, and have not yet reached a formal acceptance, even if we do not send them the revised paper later, there is no problem in the rules. If they think your paper is particularly good, they may urge you later and ask why you have not yet published the revised paper. In this case, we need to give a tenable reason. As you said, even if you do not publish it, will the United States know about this research result? In principle, it must be confidential, but there are at least three reviewers who have read this paper."
After hearing what Qiao Sen said, Xu You also felt that there was still a possibility of information leakage.
"Of course, even if a reviewer of Nature tells a researcher about this, and then the researcher starts the experiment from scratch and publishes the paper, this cycle will take at least several months. So, I will contact Academician Han Shubin to see what he thinks of this result, and then make follow-up plans."
"Okay, thank you teacher."
In any case, Qiao Sen still did not expect that Xu You would be so straightforward as to cancel the publication of a paper that had already passed the review in Nature.
Qiao Sen couldn't help but sigh again.
This time, Xu You impressed him again.
And this time, it was not because of Xu You’s strong scientific research ability.
It is the kind of broad mind that cares about the country and is willing to give up small gains for the greater good.
"Okay, then I will contact Academician Han Shubin."
"Teacher, let me also talk to my dad and keep the material of the iron atom cluster secret for the time being."
"You're quite thoughtful. Okay, go talk to Professor Xu."
Qiao Sen couldn't help but admire Xu You's calmness.
At this time, I could still think of reminding Xu Zhou to keep the materials confidential.
If it were someone else, let alone notifying them that Nature had accepted the manuscript.
Even if you tell them that their graduation thesis has been approved, they will be very happy and may even run three laps around the campus to celebrate.
Xu You turned on his cell phone and left a message to Xu Zhou.
"Professor Xu, please keep the matter of the iron atom cluster material confidential. Please do not release any results to the public before I give you the news."
When Xu Zhou saw Xu You's message, he was a little confused.
"What's going on? Has the paper been reviewed?"
