Chapter 350 Abnormal scientific progress

Recently, various countries have discovered some strange things, no, it should not be said to be strange things.

Rather, it is a major breakthrough circulating in the basic science community.

In the beginning, a laboratory in Europe that studies basic materials science made a huge breakthrough in experimenting with a new nanomaterial.

An ultra-light and ultra-strong nano-coating material has been developed.It has been five years since the research on this project started.

This incident even attracted the attention of Zodhis. After all, his main field is material science, and he is well aware of the difficulty of material science progress and what it means.

Every step in materials science means that the hundred steps of science have already started.

What remains is to rely on energy to drive science through the hundred steps.

Britain, France and Germany have allocated more than [-] million US dollars to this laboratory, and this project was originally planned to be done for ten years.

The experimental phase of the first phase should take nearly three years, the second phase needs to reach the seventh year, and the third phase is to reach the tenth year.

The final third stage is to carry out small-scale production of coating materials at the laboratory level, and then enter the next ten years of civilian and military commercialization research.

The whole plan is planned for 20 years to do industrialization.

But scientific research always has all kinds of unexpected events.

Even the most outstanding scientists in the world dare not say when their research will definitely bear fruit.

Unless the scientist already knows the final answer in advance, it is normal to delay the process.

As with this nanomaterials project, the first phase of research took four years to complete.Much lower than the three-year plan formulated at the beginning.

But the second phase has just started, and it has already been stuck. The budget departments of Britain, France and Germany are all considering whether the research direction of this laboratory is wrong.Because the whole experiment has been slow to progress.

But since the beginning of this year, Professor Zuo Fei, the scientist who presides over the project, seems to have been helped by God.He can always get all kinds of inspiration inadvertently.

Whenever he gets stuck in an experiment, he only needs to go out for a turn, and he can get all kinds of inspiration and guidance to help him break out of the predicament.

In just half a year, the progress of the entire laboratory is advancing rapidly.The whole experiment was like a teacher deliberately leaking questions to the students. The research on nanomaterials completed the entire process that was originally expected to take seven years in half a year.

Now it has entered the stage of expanding industrialization.When Professor Zuo Fei began to publish his experimental process and results in the past six months in academic journals, it caused quite a stir.

Because everyone feels that this project will not be fruitful until at least ten years later.

After all, new nano-coating materials have very broad advances.

The progress of a basic science can often lead to a great stride forward of a piece of applied science.

And if there is only one advance in nanomaterials, it can be said to be a burst of inspiration from a genius scientist.

Although this is legendary, it has also happened in human history.

But in the past six months, the entire basic science circle has been advancing at a rapid pace.

If the speed at which human beings explored basic science before was just riding a bicycle on a slow cruise river, the progress of human beings in basic science in the past six months is like riding a 300-horsepower Kawasaki h2r supercharged motorcycle to participate in a race. Like drag racing.

You have already reached the finish line in a flash, and you don't even know how many times you have changed gears during the process.

Basic science is making strides, as anyone who follows the scientific community knows.

In the past six months, various authoritative scientific journals have published more supplements than in the previous ten years combined.

Those articles with 2.0 and 3.0 impact factors seem to be worthless, and they can be written by individuals.

Zodhis looked at "Nature" and "Science", which are so professional that laymen can't understand magazines. Although a lot of knowledge on them is already very backward for him, he may learn new things by reviewing the past. There is some place where I have not found inspiration.

Tony also reads these magazines, but most of the time he skips them.

He specializes in new energy and machinery, so at most he read articles on materials science, and he simply glanced at the others and didn't pay special attention to them.

It was Dr. Banner who really read these articles carefully.

Regarding scientific matters, Dr. Banner is happy to discuss with others, such as Zodhis, Dr. Richard, Tony Stark, etc., which ordinary people cannot touch.

It's just that Dr. Banner always has a situation that he doesn't understand Dr. Richard at all. He feels that if he discusses with Dr. Richard in depth, it seems that he will fall into some terrible situation, so the matter of deep friendship has been put on hold. .

Dr. Banner sent a message in the three-person spiderweb discussion group of Zodhis, Tony Stark, and himself.

"@zodhis, @ironman, have you read the latest issue of Science?"

Dr. Banner ait took two.

"Look, Dr. Wang from China's article on quantum communication is impressive. His article has pushed the field of quantum communication forward for at least 20 years. As long as it can be industrialized, the information and communication industry of the whole world will be A sea change has taken place.”

Zodhis responded very quickly.

"I only read the chapter on nanomaterials, what's wrong?"

Tony Stark was half a beat behind.

"Don't you find it strange? There are too many influential articles of this type recently."

"What's strange?"

"Isn't this a good thing for the scientific community?"

"It's a good thing, but it's too concentrated. Isn't it?"

Dr. Banner said to the two.

"Such articles usually appear one or two a year, and at most three or five."

"However, since the beginning of this year, it has only been half a year now. You can see how many articles like this have appeared. From materials science, to communication, to cytology, etc. All fields are making great strides forward. Only this progress It's too big a step."

Dr. Banner stroked his chin.

"It's too big for us to apply all these scientific advances in the short term. If we can fully apply these scientific advances, then we should be able to enter the near future scenario that is often portrayed in Hollywood movies. And we generally think that This near-future scenario will not appear until 100 to 200 years later.”

"What do you think this means, Stark?"

"What do you want to say?"

Seeing what Dr. Banner said, Tony Stark opened the "Science" he ordered to check it.
