Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

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

As one of the highest awards in organic synthesis, many world-class mechanical chemists and Nobel laureates have won the Adams Prize.

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

As of the last 29 recipients of the Roger Adams Prize, 11 were Nobel Prize laureates in Chemistry.

Although the Adams Chemistry Award is only for the organic synthesis sector and does not represent the entire chemical community, it is still regarded by many as a Novo Prize wind marker.

After receiving this letter, the first reaction of the Ark was to "check the fucking mail”.

As for the second reaction…

Grass grip, can't you really give me a no-go award?!

Just as the ark was somewhat restless by this sudden accident, the door of the office suddenly opened and Hardy, who had become a senior, was walking in with Jericho and Wei Wen.

After looking at the letter on the Ark's hand, and looking at the look on the Ark's face, Hadi first stunned and shouted.

“Oh, my God, Professor, did you get a love letter? ”

Still immersed in the joy of the Heaven's Descent Award, the paper pinched in his hand almost didn't fall off.

Grass grip, what the hell?!

Walking to Vera near the door with her sandwich, she also heard Hardy's voice and suddenly came to the door nervously.

However, it seems to be a false alarm…

The ark glanced at Hardy so hard that he said politely: "If you joke about my personal feelings again, I promise you'll spend the entire spring break busy. ”

When he heard the threat, Hardy's face suddenly gave a sad expression.

“Oh, please don't do this. I've planned it with my--”

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

Because it always feels like something less beautiful is going to happen to him.

Not only did Hardy plan it, he also planned it, this spring break and his girlfriend went on a trip to the Great Rift Valley to capture the great west.

Heard it wasn't a love letter, Vera was in a good mood. Looking at the letter, she asked, “Professor, what is that? ”

Ark: “Nothing, it's from the American Chemical Society. ”

Hardy whispered, “God, what age is this, and people still write in paper? ”

Wei Wen's focus was somewhat different, and he was slightly stunned and said: "Chemical Society? ”

I stuffed the envelope back in the drawer, and the ark whispered, "Well, didn't I publish a paper in Nature a while ago, and they were going to give me the Adams Chemistry Award? ”

The office suddenly quieted down.

Everyone stood there silently, eyes staring at the ark.

Especially Wei Wen, with his mouth open, hasn't closed for a while.

For the Ark, apart from the three awards, there is no higher honor in mathematics to recognize his contribution, and even going back and getting a Ramanuguin award or something is just an addition.

However, this Adams Chemistry Award is an endorsement from another field besides mathematics.

Wei Wen didn't know much about chemistry, or what Lithium Branch Crystal was really about, but now he clearly realizes that it's not just pure mathematics, and that the Ark is also powerful in applied mathematics.

I don't know why, my mentor Niu is obviously a happy thing, but he has some unspeakable taste in his heart.

Jericho swallowed his mouth and said, "Professor, that calculation material, are you going to run a course on this? I mean, can I choose this direction? ”

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

He reported a general analysis of the ark, both because he was interested in this direction and because he wanted to follow the ark to study the computational materials.

The Ark laughed and said, "If you have carefully completed the learning tasks I have assigned you, I will tell you about this, but I have not yet refined the theory of computational materials, which may be of limited help to you. ”

For the time being, no one in the entire material science community has understood his theory, and there are few people interested in this direction in the mathematics field.

He would certainly be pleased if someone could understand his theory.

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

Jericho said helplessly: "Professor, you are too modest. If you feel that your theory is not perfect, I'm afraid no one dares to claim to know the computational material. ”

“It's not humility, it's scientific rigour," Ark Correction, "the mathematical model of modified PDMS material is just an isolated example, and the theory is not extensible to other fields. True computational materialism should be the ability to employ a unified set of mathematical tools to compute the mathematical dimensions of everything we need. ”

“A theory that cannot be promoted, whether it is powerful or not, is imperfect. ”

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

The properties of molecules, such as total energy, dipole moments, quadrupole moments, vibration frequencies, reaction activity, etc. are calculated with effective mathematical approximation and used to explain some specific chemical issues.

If such a test system were to be established, the impact on the industry as a whole would be nuclear weapons-grade. Simply by setting the properties of the required materials, experimenters can reverse the molecular structure through complex computations, saving millions of research dollars, even in hundreds of possibilities, or in a rough direction.

This may sound strange, but at the current rate of computer development, it is not unattainable.

Perhaps in the near future, overruns will become the standard for each large materialology laboratory, and the purchase of computing services from the Centre will appear on the budget lists of the large, small and medium-sized institutes.

After hearing this, Jericho was shocked.

The ark depicted something as if it had opened a door in his heart to a new world like never before.

If he were to succeed, he would undoubtedly completely change the face of chemistry.

Jericho is now more and more fortunate to have chosen the Ark as his own mentor.

Wei Wen stood next to him with a complex expression on his face.

He's been studying applied mathematics, but he's never thought about extending theory to the field of application, and he doesn't care about anything other than mathematics.

Maybe I should make some changes myself.

“A theory that cannot be promoted, whether it is powerful or not, is imperfect.” Vera whispered silently thinking of the phrase, in her blue pupil, glittering with excitement.

I wonder if I found inspiration in the words of the Ark, or if I have a new sense of purpose for the work I am doing, in short, the little girl seems to have become more energetic than before.

With their thoughts in mind, the students in the office were caught in silence.

And eventually, it was Hardy who broke this silence.

I saw him face serious and came to a conclusion.

“A mathematician has won the Grand Prize in Chemistry, and this is undoubtedly a great moment. ”

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