Chapter 199 A new way to find superconductors

"This feeling is still very good."

After returning to his seat, Xu You recalled the process just now.

Getting others to understand your theories is also a way of gaining a sense of accomplishment.

And through the narration just now, Xu You also gained some new understanding of his own theory.

Qiao Sen nodded to Xu You, expressing his approval of Xu You's performance just now.

As a professor of condensed matter physics, Qiao Sen has a good understanding of what Xu You just said.

Although these contents only occupy a small part of Xu You's entire theory.

But Qiao Sen can also feel that Xu You's theory is indeed of great significance.

In the face of so many highly qualified professors below, Xu You can still explain calmly.

This kind of performance is indeed very rare.

Even Qiao Sen himself, it is difficult to reach such a level.

In addition, Xu You's posture is also done just right.

It will neither appear arrogant nor inferior.

It can be described as "neither humble nor overbearing".

Then it was time, and several other professors also came to the front one after another, explaining some of their academic achievements.

Some professors speak really wonderfully, and some professors speak more dullly.

But Xu Youdu gained a lot of new knowledge in the process of listening.

Such academic exchanges lasted for a period of time.

Everyone has a certain understanding of Xu You's theory.

Xu You's material science knowledge has also been greatly improved.

After serious discussions, the project began to plan.

The work that each professor needs to be responsible for has been completed in succession.

Everyone will explore in various directions that may discover new high-temperature superconductors.

As for Xu You, he was not limited to a certain direction.

For the search for high-temperature superconductors, Xu You has a unique idea.

After returning to his rented house, Xu You began to prepare for this idea.

Through the exchanges with various experts these days.

Xu You further understood the properties of various materials.

In this way, Xu You can better simulate various materials through software.

"If software modeling can be used to find superconductors, it will definitely be a more efficient way."

Such an idea may sound outrageous.

But in fact, when helping Xu You synthesize new metal atom clusters.

Software modeling plays an important role.

As long as a very high degree of simulation can be achieved.

Software simulation will have great practical significance.

Over the past few days, Xu You has gained a deeper understanding of his own theory of high-temperature superconductors.

Through this set of theories, it can help Xu You to carry out software modeling work very well.

At the subject level of informatics, after reaching the level of a doctorate in informatics.

Xu You is also more comfortable with software modeling.

After a period of work.

Xu You has been able to achieve the function of predicting the probability of a molecule having superconductivity after inputting information such as the type of element, the number of each type of atom, and the bonding method between atoms.

If the superconducting probability of the molecule is extremely high, the superconducting critical temperature of the substance can also be predicted.

Through verification, Xu You's software modeling has a relatively high overall prediction accuracy.

After that, Xu You continued to expand the amount of data, and compared the actual information of various substances with the predicted information to correct errors and further improve the accuracy of software predictions.

Seeing that the accuracy rate has reached over 99%, Xu You was very excited.

"Sure enough, the importance of informatics in scientific research is indeed too great!" Xu You sighed.

Xu You can't wait to send Peng Jun a pennant to express his gratitude to Peng Jun.

In this way, as long as the molecular formula and molecular structure of a molecule can be determined, the superconductivity can be predicted by software first, without having to measure one by one.

The discovery of superconducting substances is definitely a revolutionary achievement.

But soon, Xu You also calmed down.

"Although the modeling program has been made, the amount of data that needs to be verified is indeed too large."

Now, in front of Xu You is a problem of permutation and combination.

For each simulation, Xu You needs to extract several elements from more than 100 chemical elements, and determine the number of each atom, the structure between atoms, and other information.

In this way, the types of substances that need to be measured can be said to be almost unlimited.

Such a huge amount of data is even much larger than the number of all possible chess games in Go.

Even a supercomputer cannot complete all calculations within a limited time.

"No wonder high-temperature superconductors are so difficult to find. If the range of high-temperature superconductors cannot be determined, it is really more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack."

Even if there is a room temperature superconductor at normal pressure, it is unknown when it will be found.

Thinking of this, Xu You decided to narrow down the scope of several conditions first.

"First select several elements that are most likely to form superconductors, and limit the number of each atom to 200..."

The currently known superconductor with the highest temperature under normal pressure is the strange molecular formula of Hg12Tl3Ba30Ca30Cu45O127.

Xu You roughly estimated the number of possible combinations after narrowing the scope of the conditions.

"The number is still too large. Ordinary computers will definitely not be able to complete the calculations. It seems that supercomputers will be used again."

Xu You reckoned that if you use this method to find new high-temperature superconductors, the expenditure on supercomputing electricity bills will definitely be very expensive.

But in comparison, this should be the fastest way.

If one material is synthesized and measured one material at a time.

Not only the preparation cost is not low either.

It also takes far more time.

Thinking of this, Xu You found Qiao Sen and explained his new idea to Qiao Sen.

"Using software simulation to predict superconductors? It's really a novel idea."

And when Qiao Sen carefully checked Xu You's model, and input some substances to verify it.

It is found that the prediction accuracy of Xu You's model is indeed very high.

"What an incredible result!"

The value of such a software model alone is difficult to estimate.

But after further communication with Xu You, Qiao Sen also realized another problem.

"Indeed, the number of possible molecular structures is too large. If you want to verify them one by one, you will definitely not have enough time."

"Teacher, I want to draw a rough range first, and select the most likely elements for verification. Although the amount of data is huge, if supercomputers are used, the calculation can still be completed."
