Xueba's Sea of ​​Stars

Chapter 209 Computational Materials Science

In such a fulfilling study life, a month of summer vacation has passed quickly, and Wu Bin's next project has basically taken shape, making him happy every day. In Lin Ziqi's words, "the smile is getting more and more abnormal."

On the first day of August, Wu Bin, Lin Ziqi and Li Yan had just walked out of the library when they received a call, but the caller was from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?" Wu Bin asked after picking up the phone.

"Hello? Is that Wu Bin?" A mature man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

'Hmm... the voice seems a little familiar. '

But before Wu Bin remembered who it was, the other end of the phone spoke again: "I'm Uncle Pei, can you hear me?"

"Ah!? Uncle Pei!? I can hear it, I can hear it, hello." Wu Bin, who was greatly surprised, replied repeatedly.

"Hahaha, did I scare you?" Uncle Pei laughed.

"It's a little bit." Wu Bin laughed, "Is there anything uncle can do with me?"

"No big deal, just to congratulate you, you have published an article on "Science" at such a young age, you have a bright future, so I immediately asked Jia Min for your number and called you."

"Huh? Uncle, do you know about "Science"?"

Posting "science" is not an entertainment news, usually only people in the circle will be surprised by it.However, Uncle Pei was not too surprised to know Wu Bin. After all, he is an executive of a chip company, and it is quite normal for him to have researchers who subscribe to the "Science" journal or read it directly online on the official website.

"Yeah, I just heard two guys from our R&D department mention your name this morning, so I asked curiously, and found out that it was really you." After a pause, Uncle Pei added: "The other photos are good, a little The style of my youth."

"Thank you uncle for the compliment."

"Hahaha, let me say that you can't go wrong, it's not bad, and the graphene you're researching is indeed being worked on by many people now, and it has a great prospect. Although the current market size is still small, I believe that this It is only a matter of time before the material is put into application, just waiting for young people like you to push it."

After laughing a few times, Uncle Pei said again: "Did you hear about the signing of a research project between Warwick and the National Graphene Institute of the University of Manchester?"

"Well, I heard that, I think this is a good decision."

Wu Bin had already learned about the news that Samsung had invested hundreds of millions of dollars in graphene, and an ambitious company like Warwick was naturally not far behind.

Because the two scientists who won the Nobel Prize for graphene, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, both worked at the University of Manchester, Manchester is also known as the hometown of graphene.

As the first place to discover graphene, as early as 8 years ago, the British National Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the European Regional Development Fund invested 3800 million pounds and 2300 million pounds to establish the National Graphene Institute of the University of Manchester.

After so many years of development, it can be said to be the base camp of graphene research, with very advanced technology and equipment. Among the many documents Wu Bin has read, the output of this laboratory can be said to be very large.

And in the recent academic exchange emails, several people also clearly stated that they are from the Graphene Research Institute, and they welcome Wu Bin to study further.

"Uncle told you, you can try to do more research in the direction of LED displays, this one will become very popular sooner or later."

Hearing Uncle Pei's suddenly serious tone, Wu Bin replied: "Thank you uncle for your reminder, I will pay more attention to reading more literature on this subject."

"Hey, okay, okay, then I won't tell you more. The main reason for making this call is to congratulate you. Next time you come back during winter vacation, remember to come over for a meal and let me take a photo with you so that we can Those young people in the company show off and show off."

Wu Bin: "Haha, uncle, you are joking."

"Hahaha, then I'll hang up first, keep working hard, uncle is optimistic about you."

"Okay, thank you uncle."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ziqi on the side immediately asked curiously, "Is your family a scholarly family?"

"Ah? What do you mean?" Wu Bin was stunned by Lin Ziqi's question.

"Otherwise, what uncle is so powerful, he can know that you posted "science" without you notifying him."

Wu Bin smiled after listening, "You are really serious about eavesdropping."

"What is eavesdropping, and you didn't avoid it." Lin Ziqi retorted immediately.

"Can't you consciously not listen at all~" After complaining, Wu Bin replied: "An uncle who is an executive in a chip company seems to know my name when he heard his subordinates mention my name."

"Wow! The executives of the chip company are amazing."

At this time, Li Yan answered: "Is it because I want to persuade you to join their company?"

"That's not true. I came to congratulate me for publishing "Science". By the way, I chatted with me about the prospects of graphene, and said that Warwick is now making great strides."

"Huawei, chip or screen?" Li Yan thought for a while and asked.

"I don't know. The chip is still in the theoretical stage, and the screen is relatively reliable. But before that, the problem of production must be solved first, otherwise graphene will always be just a laboratory. It's just a plaything."

"It's amazing, I suddenly feel that you are carrying the entire human world forward." Li Yan made a gesture of looking up, "Wei An."

"Exaggerated." Wu Bin shook his head and continued walking.

After the three finished their meal, Li Yan continued to look for materials in the library, while Wu Bin and Lin Ziqi went to the laboratory.

After a month of serious study, Wu Bin has made great progress in computational materials science.

With the rapid development of science and technology, the research system is becoming more and more complex, and the traditional analysis method is completely insufficient.

However, with the development of computer science and the continuous improvement of computer computing power, computer materials science has emerged as the times require, providing new means for the study of complex systems.

As an interdisciplinary science involving materials, physics, computer, mathematics, chemistry and other disciplines at the same time, its theoretical predictability is very strong. Of course, it is also called a magic weapon for paper irrigation by many people.

This month, Wu Bin read two books of "Computational Materials Science" with a high rate of loan from the library several times. Applications in Materials Science".

After reading it several times, Wu Bin found that his basic knowledge of general physics and computer programming was sufficient to deal with this emerging subject, but quantum mechanics was almost tasteless.

This allowed Wu Bin to make a plan for the next semester at once, and to thoroughly understand quantum mechanics. If possible, it would not be impossible to KO the four major forces together.

PS: Thank you very much readers!If you are still willing to support me during such a low period, updates will definitely be accelerated.
