Chapter 201 "Science Advances"

"It's exactly what Professor Liu said..." Wu Bin looked at the computer screen and shook his head.

Starting from asking myself when I would graduate, the other reviewer's subsequent manuscripts became more and more deviated from the content of the review, and began to ask him some questions about nano-strips, doping, functional group adsorption, boundary modification, etc. that currently need to be done on two-dimensional materials. Performance improvement issues.

However, the level of questions asked by the other party was also very high, so Wu Bin was still happy to communicate with him.

After two days of chatting like this, the reviewer opposite seemed to finally get down to business and told Wu Bin that his paper had been officially included and would be published as a cover article in the next issue of Science Advances. "superior.

"Science Advances" is a sub-journal of "Science", with an impact factor of more than 10, and is definitely one of the top scientific research journals.

In addition to this confirmation reply, Wu Bin also received an offer from the University of California, which expressed a simple meaning that he was very welcome to study there for graduate school.

After shaking his head, Wu Bin replied to an email, politely expressing that he would definitely consider your school after graduating from the undergraduate program.

After receiving a definite answer, Wu Bin immediately ran to Professor Liu and told him the news.

"The future life is terrible..."

Although Liu Yubo had previously thought that Wu Bin's paper would be fine, now that he learned that it had actually been published in Science, he couldn't help but feel shocked.

He is only a freshman!

At HKUST, Liu Yubo, a student with extraordinary talent and talent, is not uncommon, but it is rare to see someone as talented as Wu Bin who is able to calmly immerse himself in reading literature and conducting experiments.

After drinking tea to calm down, Liu Yubo asked Wu Bin: "Which direction are you planning to study next?"

"Preparation of nitrogen-doped graphene"

Liu Yubo nodded after listening, "It seems that you already have your own complete ideas."

Wu Bin: "It can only be said to be an attempt. The more I study it, the more I realize that this problem is really difficult to solve."

"Well, you try slowly. Scientific research is not something that can be accomplished overnight. If you have any problems during the process, just tell me."

"Then I really have something to say..." Wu Bin quietly raised an index finger.

"Oh, you're really welcome." Liu Yubo put down his teacup and smiled, "Go ahead."

"The nanoparticle size meter in the laboratory doesn't feel very useful, and the density meter and hardness tester feel older than me..."

"There's an issue with the equipment... Maybe you young people are just picky, but I'm fine with it."

After listening to Liu Yubo's words, Wu Bin looked a little disappointed. Although he, Feng Jinhui and several other researchers reported this problem before, they told him that this kind of funding issue was the most troublesome, and they only got a few perfunctory words when he raised it. .

Seeing Wu Bin's disappointed expression, Liu Yubo pressed his hands and said, "I didn't say no. In this case, you go back and make a list and write down all the instruments you think you need. I will help you get it at the end of the year. Don't worry, I am Never talk empty words.”

After hearing this, Wu Bin's expression immediately changed and he said happily: "Thank you, Professor Liu."

"Just thank yourself. If you can't make anything, this kind of application is very troublesome. But now, you have already issued "Science", why can't the school coax you?"

"Do you have any other questions?" Professor Liu asked with a smile.

"No, no." Wu Bin waved his hand, "Then I go back to the laboratory first?"

"Well, go ahead."

"Goodbye Professor Liu."

When Wu Bin left the office, Liu Yubo took a deep breath, picked up the phone and dialed a number, preparing to share this shocking thing with other professors.

…

Because Liu Yubo seemed to react very calmly, Wu Bin did not regard publishing "Science" as a very cool thing.

Yet he was clearly wrong.

The next day, Professor Lin Qianwang from the Department of Chemistry found him.

Professor Song Nanfeng, Wu Bin, had learned that Professor Lin was also very keen on researching graphene, so he quickly ran over.

Arriving at the School of Chemistry, Wu Bin went around several circles before finally finding Professor Lin Qianwang's office.

"You are Wu Bin, come in quickly." Lin Qianwang, who was sitting in the office, saw a student looking at the door and immediately waved to him.

"Hello, Professor Lin." Wu Bin walked in and said hello to the professor, and found that the professor did not seem to be very old. If you ignore the hairline, he might even be in his 30s.

"I have already heard Professor Liu introduce you in detail, so I won't say much else. I came to you just to discuss the issue of two-dimensional materials with you."

It can be said that Wu Bin liked Lin Qianwang's way of chatting directly into the topic, so he immediately nodded and said: "I have heard that Professor Lin has done in-depth research on graphene materials before, and I have always wanted to find opportunities to communicate with him. Let’s talk about it.”

"Tsk, I can't tell you're pretty good at talking. What Lao Liu said about you is that you're just a stupid kid who only knows how to stay in the laboratory." Lin Qianwang laughed after finishing his words.

Wu Bin: "I'm just telling the truth."

"Okay, don't be polite, come and sit." Lin Qianwang stood up and walked to the sofa nearby, and called Wu Bin over.

Lin Qianwang's research direction is the impact of material ion transport, photoelectric conversion, and thermoelectric conversion on energy storage, so at the beginning, he asked Wu Bin a few questions about electrochemical properties, thinking to first understand Wu Bin's background in this area. .

However, after only ten minutes of communication, Lin Qianwang discovered that Wu Bin's understanding of graphene as a material had penetrated to almost all levels, and he was even involved in the size effect of humble and hard-to-find structures.

"It's incredible. It seems that Lao Liu's description of you is absolutely correct. No wonder you were able to publish "Science" in your freshman year. Your knowledge is far more comprehensive than I imagined." After listening to Wu Bin's comments on the properties of two-dimensional materials Lin Qianwang sighed after understanding.

"Thank you for the compliment, professor." Wu Bin replied politely.

Later, under the leadership of Lin Qianwang, Wu Bin got to know several of the top materials experts in HKUST. Each of their titles was very impressive. It can be said that Wu Bin truly saw the awesomeness of HKUST.

The first person Wu Bin met was a doctoral supervisor named Long Huishan. After graduating from HKUST, he went to Germany and became a Humboldt Scholar.

The main research direction is materials synthesis and application research, and 280 articles have been published in SCI alone! It has been cited more than 6,100 times and is definitely a big name in the industry.

Wu Bin only chatted with him for one afternoon, and felt that he had learned a lot of knowledge that could not be found in the literature, and he had definitely benefited a lot.

PS: I went on a business trip and was so busy... After writing a book, I really admire those who can work and write books part-time at the same time. The pressure is too great and there is no time to rest at all. (vomiting bitterness)

It should be a little more relaxed after that, and I will update it as soon as possible. Thank you readers for following my books.
