Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Under the operation of White Sheridan, the patent number was quickly obtained, even a little faster than the firm previously commissioned by the Ark.

On that note, the former head of Intellectual Property at Verizon Telecom did deserve his annual salary.

After we got the patent number, everything went a lot better.

There is a strong and expensive team of lawyers to back up and then approve, just walk the process.

In fact, it is not new that many more compelling patents are authorized to go out at the patent number filing stage.

But superconducting materials, though a hot spot in academia, are not something that attracts attention in industry.

And this can be seen in the “old house" of the Pablo Jarillo-Herrero lab.

Before receiving $10 million in funding from the Ark, the research team led by Professor Herrero initially did research on superconducting materials, which was supported by the Gordon and Bettimore Foundation and the National Science Foundation of the United States, not by an industry company.

In short, with Connie's help, the Ark will complete the entire paper by mid-November.

At the Ivy Club cafe, the Ark brought together two other leading authors of the paper for a brief meeting.

“The thesis has been completed, and Professor Herrero and I exchanged opinions via e-mail. They are interested in the theoretical interpretation of the bandwidth of the superlattice under the new angle, and the next theoretical work will continue in this regard. ”

Speaking of which, the ark paused for a moment and continued to look at the two partners, "If there were no accidents, after this paper, our cooperation agreement with Professor Herrero on R&D would have been concluded successfully. ”

Because in the cafe, the three of them simply touched it with a coffee cup, replacing the applause of a smooth "knot.”

The research direction of the graphene superconducting material has been opened, and the research teams of the two institutes on the other side of the ark will certainly continue to study the application direction and improve the SG-1 material, such as increasing its superconducting transition temperature.

As for Professor Herrero, there appears to be a greater interest in theoretical research.

So in the next study, while their work revolved around the same broad direction, they looked at different issues.

Of course, despite the conclusion of the cooperation, the $10 million research funding pledged by the Ark will continue to support Professor Herrero.

After all, Professor Herrero's research team was very helpful in this research and development project on SG-1 superconducting materials.

And the Ark hopes that Professor Herrero's research team will find more interesting things in the theoretical field, even if they're not necessarily valuable.

Theoretical research is the foundation of applied research, these seemingly worthless new discoveries may be useful at critical times.

After clarifying the situation to his two partners, the ark paused for a moment and looked to Connie.

“As I said earlier, the next direction of Professor Herrero's research will be focused on the theoretical block. You've been visiting MIT for a year and you should know more about their work than I do. ”

“I'd like to hear your views on your next plans. ”

The method of calculating materials is a tool, the same whether it is the "method of computing materials” redefined by the ark or the “first principle” widely disseminated in the computing chemistry community.

This tool can be used for research in the field of application or in the theoretical field, but for Connie it determines its future direction.

Connie hesitated for a long time and finally said in a positive tone: “I want to do the app. ”

Upon hearing his reply, the ark nodded.

“I'll write you a letter of recommendation in a few days, and you'll take it to Silicon Valley to find Salot Laboratory, where Professor Salot, who's in charge, will arrange the next job for you. By then you will have your own research team that will be primarily responsible for calculating chemistry and research on superconducting materials… Of course, the choice lies with you. If you prefer to be a professor at a university, I can write you another letter of recommendation. ”

With regard to the method of calculating chemistry, there was nothing left for the Ark to teach him, and this letter of recommendation also meant that Connie could graduate from post-doctoral status.

If he is willing to continue working under his own hands, the Ark is certainly very welcome. But if he had other plans, the Ark also respected his choice.

Connie touched the back of his head and laughed, “Of course I'd rather work in your lab. ”

Just kidding, going to college for research is no better than going to Grandpa Novo's lab for work and money.

Besides, according to the terms of the Ark, he can be a “small boss” properly after going there. He needs to be financed, and there are VIPs. If he struggles from scratch, he'll have to be at least forty years old to get there.

Connie is not stupid at all, although he looks like a gorilla.

After hearing Connie's answer, the Ark smiled and extended its right hand: "Welcome aboard. ”

And Connie shook his hand, loosened it, and the topic continued back to the study itself.

In a serious change of scenery, Connie continued: "By the way, Professor, the paper has been written, so what happens next? Are we in a journal or an academic conference? ”

After a moment of reflection, the Ark openly answered, "Throw in the meeting, and if you move fast, you may not make it to this year's MRS Fall. ”

Though deadlines have passed on the official website, the Noble Laureate always has some privileges that the average scientific dog can't imagine.

Both on the channel of submission and to the extent that the report will receive attention.

At this point, Professor Chirick asked, "Are you going to MRS this fall? ”

The ark shook its head: "I have to go to Stockholm in December, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time. ”

The MRS Fall Meeting in previous years was the second day after Black Friday and lasted from the end of November to the beginning of December, depending on the size of the meeting.

If you have to, you won't be able to make it, but the itinerary is a little too tight.

Hearing that the Ark wasn't going, Professor Chirick hey hey laughed: “Since you don't have time, I'll take care of MRS in the fall. ”

This is a compelling opportunity… oh no, a great opportunity to brush your presence in front of your peers and industry.

The ship may no longer have the need to brush its presence, but it does make sense to him.

Seeing Professor Chirick's enthusiastic gaze, the ark shook its head with a smile.

“I'll leave the report to you... Connie, you go with Professor Chirick and help him fight. ”

Connie nodded excitedly.

“Yes, Professor! ”
