Top Student

Hearing Qiao Sen's words, both Xu You and Yuan Dong stared at Qiao Sen, waiting for him to say the final result.

Seeing Qiao Sen's calm expression, Xu You wondered if it was for some reason that his paper was rejected.

"Generally, it's fine. It can be published. Of course, there are still a lot of revisions to be made, including some minor revisions, as well as some formatting issues. You go to dinner first, and I'll tell you more about it when I get back."

"Okay, I'll trouble the teacher then."

After hearing this news, Xu You's tense heart finally relaxed.

Being able to publish a paper in "Nature" is undoubtedly a high degree of affirmation of my research results.

Although Yuan Dong envied Xu You very much, it was not to the extent of jealousy.

After all, Yuan Dong himself knew that he and Xu You were not on the same level at all, and there was absolutely no need for comparison.

And in this paper, Yuan Dong also appeared as the third author.

Although a third work, it will not help Yuan Dong to apply for a doctorate in the future.

However, the three works of the level of "Nature" will still be somewhat helpful to Yuan Dong's degree recognition, award evaluation, and future job hunting in the master's stage.

In fact, Yuan Dong never thought that Xu You would really regard himself as the third author.

After all, apart from teaching Xu You some experimental operations, Yuan Dong did not play any important role in Xu You's subject.

But Xu You took the initiative and asked Yuan Dong to appear as the third author of this paper.

In Xu You's mind, Yuan Dong's ability to help him learn basic experimental operations is already a great help to him.

After dinner, Qiao Sen explained to Xu You some changes in the thesis.

"Let's revise this thesis in the next few days. The new topic can be put aside temporarily. It will not be too late to continue after the revision of the thesis is completed."

Complete the revision of the paper early and submit the manuscript early, so that the paper can be published earlier.

"Okay, teacher, I got it. By the way, the measurement results this morning are also very good. Three kinds of iron atom clusters were found, which can achieve complete conductivity at higher temperatures."

"Oh? Has it been made? Why didn't you tell me about it in the morning? I think you were quite calm at the time."

"Well, this time I put my mind at ease, which is expected, and I don't feel too much. Teacher, you told me that when "Nature" was finished, you were quite calm. If you didn't say I passed the manuscript, and I thought it was rejected.”

Qiao Sen said in his heart that before coming here, he was already happy.

At the age of 18, you can submit a manuscript to "Nature" as the first author.

As far as Qiao Sen knows, this should be the youngest author Huaxia can publish on "Nature".

When such news is exposed, it will cause quite a stir all over the world.

Before coming to the lab to tell Xu You the news, Qiao Sen had already managed his facial expressions in advance.

After all, acting too excited in front of students would make people feel a little frivolous, without the sense of stability of a professor.

"That's right, you should put your mind at ease. It doesn't matter if you get rejected. The teacher has been engaged in scientific research for so many years, and the number of rejected manuscripts has long been countless. Alright, let's get busy revising the paper first. Message me anytime."

In the days that followed, Xu You completed the revision of the paper, and Qiao Sen and others reviewed and proofread it, and then resent it to the email address of the reviewers of "Nature".

This time, the paper finally had no problems and entered the stage of preparation for publication.

Before the paper was officially published, Xu You also entered the stage of writing a paper on the new topic of iron atomic clusters having superconducting properties at higher temperatures.

Xu You couldn't help but sigh, in fact, publishing a paper in "Nature" seems to be not as difficult as imagined.

Finally, in the next issue of "Nature", Xu You's paper was officially published.

This time, the sensation caused by Xu You is even far greater than the sensation when he published a paper on PRL last time.

Although PRL is considered to be the top journal in the field of theoretical physics.

But in terms of popularity and impact factor, it is still far inferior to "Nature".

And after various media got the news.

Once again, Xu You, a talented boy, was being hyped.

"Shocked! Xu You, an 18-year-old genius from Huaxia, once again published a major paper and was listed in the journal "Nature!"

"This freshman of Ji University has set another record! "Nature" has been published for more than 100 years and is the youngest Chinese scholar to publish a paper as the first author!"

"Four new superconductors have been discovered! The secret of superconductivity is gradually revealed, and room temperature superconductivity may become a reality!"

One after another, the news spread on the Internet.

With the foreshadowing of Xu You's publication on PRL last time, plus the bigger gimmick this time.

The popularity of this news is constantly rising on the hot search lists of major social platforms.

Xu You has once again become the focus of heated discussions on the Internet.

Even on Biehu, a hot topic appeared.

"How do you evaluate a paper published by Xu You, who is only 18 years old, as the first author on "Nature"?"

Soon, all the beeping bosses began to answer this question.

"Thank you for your invitation. I'm in the United States. I just got off the plane. I'm interested in hiding. First of all, the discovery of aluminum cluster superconductivity, the greatest contribution is not to provide a new superconductor to the field of superconductivity. I personally also When I was doing condensed matter, I also found some superconducting materials, but the articles I posted were very general. The biggest significance of aluminum cluster superconductors is that they provide a new model for everyone to try to understand the mechanism of superconductivity .”

"Although it cannot be said that this is a discovery that shocked the world, it is undoubtedly a very good research result. I personally think that the significance of this result is not lower than that of the previous magic-angle graphene. I hope that one day humans will You can really discover high-temperature superconductors, even room-temperature superconductors."

"I am a third-year student majoring in physics at Ji University. It is difficult for me to comment on the specific significance of this paper, but its value is self-evident if it can be published in "Nature". Let me tell you something that I personally experienced. When I was a sophomore, the teacher of the atomic physics class gave us a problem, and finally pointed out that there was a student who did the best, and that student was Xu You. Of course, we didn’t know him, but we found out later that he just He was recommended by CPhO, and he was just an auditor at Ji University. Since then, the name of Blessing God has resounded throughout our School of Physics."

In addition to these highly praised objective answers.

There were also some sour voices of doubt.

"How to evaluate? It can only be said to be a completely meaningless discovery. Is there any essential difference between the superconducting critical temperature of 100K and 1K? It's just another low-temperature superconductor. Wait until the room temperature superconductor is really discovered. , It’s not too late for you guys to play again.”
