Chapter 359: Recommendations of the Noble Laureate

When a theory has been articulated clearly enough, when a report wins applause of this magnitude during a speech, the questioning session becomes somewhat redundant.

Of course, there are still a lot of people who stand up and ask questions during the questioning session.

These questions were answered in detail by the Ark.

This is undoubtedly an inspiring advance over an MRS conference without a raise of hands.

At the very least, it shows that the audience here is real, listening to his theory, not just to cover up their ignorance with applause.

After the debriefing session, several doctors from the University of Humboldt came to the podium and excitedly asked for signatures from the ark to commemorate a moment that might be in the history of chemistry.

Although history was not expected to document such trivial things, the Ark satisfied their request and wrote its own name in grass on their textbooks.

From the front of the stage to behind the scenes, Professor Etter came to the ark and said in a serious voice.

“Whether or not the Nobel Committee agrees with the value of your theory, I will recommend your name to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. ”

The boat stunned slightly and laughed.

“Thanks.”

“You're welcome," Professor Etter laughed comfortably as he looked at the ark, "thanks to us for bringing this report to Berlin, which I haven't heard in a long time. While I can't guarantee that you will win the Nobel Prize, I feel that at least the honor of being nominated for the Nobel Prize belongs to you. ”

In accordance with the Nobel Prize selection rules, former Nobel Prize winners are eligible to recommend candidates.

But there's nothing exciting about that, after all, there are usually between 1,000 and 2,000 candidates selected each year, and after two rounds of screening, only one will eventually win the Nobel Prize.

In principle, the nominee cannot be disclosed and the nominated information will remain strictly confidential for a period of 50 years.

However, this provision was not strictly observed during the initial referral.

According to one Nobel laureate's testimonial, at least there are jokes like "Hey, I recommended you to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences" at the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine, and the tweaked usually read the longest year of their lives in a restless state until the final results in October are revealed.

Of course, the Peace Prize and the Literature Prize need not be mentioned.

Even gambling companies can “guess” the nominee's list in advance and open it before the list is revealed, both awards are long overplayed.

The Ark joked: "You shouldn't have told me, so there wouldn't be any surprises for me. ”

Eterhaha laughed: “It's just a nomination, don't get too excited. By the time you get to my age, it'll be nice to take Nobel's medal home. ”

The Ark made a helpless expression.

“That's... too hard. ”

It is not realistic to take the Nobel Prize with a novel theory, and a lot of things take time to test.

But he felt that even so, he probably didn't have to wait that long...

……

With regard to the Nobel Prize, the Ark was not in a hurry and did not give rise to any anxiety as a result of Professor Etter's recommendation.

He felt that, for him, the medal was an acknowledgement of his research, but not a motivation to engage him in a particular study.

He is young and has a long way to go.

Don't worry about doing your own research, wait for the fate, it should be his stuff, sooner or later there will be.

And no matter how the Ark sees its theory and that medal hanging over its head, almost immediately after the report, the entire theoretical chemistry community was struck by it.

This sensational response was much stronger than when the paper of the Ark was first published in JACS.

As with the millennium problem in mathematics, there are also urgent challenges in the chemical world.

These questions, however, are not as summarized in simple language as mathematical assumptions, and even the question of "who matters more” is controversial in university schools.

However, even if controversial, there is consensus in some places within the international theoretical chemistry community.

One of the first of the four challenges of chemistry in the twenty-first century, for example, is how to establish precise, effective and universally applicable theories of chronological multibody quantum and statistical responses.

This seems a little stubborn to say, and in common language, how do you accurately calculate the rate of chemical reactions? How do you determine the route of a chemical reaction? How do you determine the catalyst you need to use?

And how to stand at the height of the theory and answer all such questions.

The theoretical model of the electrochemical structure interface corresponds to a certain type of problem in the proposition.

An inappropriate but very graphic metaphor, the construction of this theoretical model, for the significance of the "four centuries of the chemical world", is probably equivalent to the Lehman speculation of the Hardy-Litelwood theorem.

The Hardy-Litelwood Theorem determines that "the extraordinary number of zeros of the Lehman function within a certain interval is not less than KT”, while the Theoretical Model of the Electrochemical Interface Structure determines “the theory of microchemical reactions of a certain type of chemical reaction”.

Immediately after the presentation of the Ark, the German Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science announced its support for the doctrine by setting up an interdisciplinary panel on “Theoretical Models of Electrochemical Structural Interfaces”.

More interestingly, just after Maple's stated position, Professor Martin Capras, who had previously made scientific comments in Nature and was optimistic about the theory, almost immediately followed by a paper in the top chemistry magazine JACS.

In his paper, Professor Capras quoted a previous paper published by the Ark in JACS, which provided a clear explanation of the zero-charge potential of polycrystalline metal electrodes from a theoretical point of view.

Until then, this was seen as a classic difficulty in electrochemistry and theoretical chemistry.

While the existence of a "zero-charge potential for polycrystalline metal electrodes" is unquestionable, there has been no conclusion as to its mechanism of formation and the chemical substance under microscopic conditions.

However, in the framework of the "Theoretical Model of Electrochemical Interface Structure", solving this problem does not appear to be a difficult task. At the very least, it is much easier to study this issue from the perspective of "first principle calculation”.

Obviously, the Noble Laureate had already looked at the theory two months earlier and could eventually succeed, so he “bet” on it sooner. That's why this paper came out in such a timely fashion.

Now it seems that he's clearly gambling correctly.

It's not just Martin Capras who's interested in this new theory.

With the end of the presentation, a growing number of theoretical and chemical colleagues, as well as researchers in the field of application, have shown a keen interest in the theory.

In contrast to the “Kohn-Sham method” and the "density generalized letter theory”, this theoretical model of electrochemical interface structure is purely tailored to study the electrochemical properties of the surface of the material and has strong guidance for research in the polymeric field.

Especially for doctors of computational chemistry and computational materials, the emergence of this new theory is undoubtedly an evangelization for them.

At least, their boss, now has another reason to keep them in the research team.

The German Chemical Society had made a decision in silence just as the outside world speculated whether the ship would become the youngest Nobel laureate for this theory.

In recognition of the outstanding contribution of this theoretical model to chemistry, the German Chemical Society, after discussion, decided to award the founder of this theory a medal of extraordinary significance…
