International students returning to 90

The summer in the United States comes very early. After several heavy rains, the temperature rises day by day. From coats to short sleeves, it only takes two short months.

The research and development of solar cells has reached the most critical juncture. Under the leadership of Lin Yi, the goal of transition from gel to solid electrolyte was successfully achieved, which greatly relieved all the staff in the laboratory.

After all, that Mr. Manda has already announced in front of the public that he has developed a solar cell with a gel electrolyte. If the electrolyte of the solar cell in the Simpson Lab remains in the gel state, even if it can be proved that the research results of the Simpson Lab have already been developed by the Manda You will still be criticized, sir.

But all-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells are different. From gel to solid state, this is a qualitative leap.The moment the all-solid-state solar cell was developed, Lin Yi could clearly feel that the haze over the new energy center was gradually dissipating.

Speaking of this, there was another thing that puzzled Lin Yi very much.After that Mr. Manda publicized the development of gel electrolyte solar cells, there was no other sound.

This made Lin Yi have another guess in his heart. If he really guessed it right, he really seemed to sigh, this forest is so big that there are really all kinds of birds.

"Using the organic hole transport material spiro-OMeTAD as a solid electrolyte has overcome the difficulties of all-solid-state solar cells, but the photoelectric conversion efficiency has not been improved." Professor Green frowned.

They tried countless sensitizers and dye molecules, but the efficiency of solid-state solar cells has been hovering around 3%. The all-solid-state 3% is already leading the world, but Lin Yi has no intention of being satisfied.

"Dye sensitization, dye sensitization, we still have to make a fuss about both dye and sensitization." Lin Yi hasn't taken care of himself for two months, fine stubble has appeared on his chin, he sits cross-legged On the floor of the laboratory, there is a lot of materials around him, some are printed out, and more are various molecular formulas written by him, densely piled up on the ground.

"I'll think about it, I'll think about it..." He whispered softly, and grabbed a piece of white paper to quickly draw the molecular formula.Titanium dioxide itself only responds to ultraviolet light, and the absorption of visible light can only be achieved through dye sensitization.

Therefore, as long as the dye molecules adsorbed on the surface of titanium dioxide particles can be arranged more tightly, the battery's ability to absorb visible light will also increase, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency will naturally increase.

"Lin, all 286 element screenings have been completed. From the perspective of pure elements, silver ions perform well."

"Very good, try co-sensitizing with silver ions and dyes, and observe the surface of titanium dioxide!"

The work in the laboratory is proceeding in an orderly manner. According to the current speed, it is not a problem at all to produce the project results within half a year.

Even the people involved in the laboratory were surprised that they could have such efficiency.

In addition to Lin Yi's very logical experimental design for them, but also because of Mr. Manda, everyone in the laboratory was on fire.

"It seems that I can draw up the agreement on the independent patent rights as soon as possible." Simpson said with a smile.

Lin Yi loosened his neckline, "Of course, after the agreement is signed and takes effect, all the expenses of the new energy center will be borne by the new energy center itself, and I won't take advantage of you."

"I came to you this time for two reasons. First, I hope to announce the research progress of some solar cells; second..." When it came to the second, Professor Simpson had a weird look on his face.

"Manda Archie hopes to cooperate with Simpson Labs on the project of solid-state solar cells."

what?

Lin Yi's expression twisted for a moment, "Is there anything wrong with him!"

"Manda Archie said in the original words that Simpson's laboratory will not be able to bypass his patents for further research, so cooperation is the best choice."

"Can't get around his patents?" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes. What patents has this professional Porcelain registered?

The patent law in the United States is very perfect. For example, if the patents applied by Manda are kept secret, no one can know which shitty patents he applied for through other channels unless he presents the patent certificate.

"The solar energy battery industry is the key for Simpson's laboratory to become a top laboratory. It must not be lost. If the production is restricted by his patent in the future, it will be troublesome." Simpson has obviously been distressed for a long time.

Lin Yi leaned forward slightly, unconsciously touching the ring on the thumb of his left hand with his right hand.

"You sent him a lawyer's letter and pretended to sue him? He still plans to cooperate with Simpson Lab? How?"

"20.00% patent money."

"What about the deadline?"

"Until the patent expires."

"This thick-skinned guy can go around the earth once. I don't agree." A thief stole your things and sold them to you openly. Lin Yi said that even if he stayed in the laboratory for another two years, he wanted to A way to bypass his so-called registered patents is definitely not cheap for him!

After reliving his whole life, Lin Yi has countless ways to prepare new materials in his mind, but he still carefully bypasses those projects that his colleagues have devoted their energy to research, even if they can bring him great honor.

Lin Yi believed that the so-called project results of Mr. Manda came from the Simpson Laboratory, otherwise he had never heard of this "great scientist" in his previous life.

Simpson knew, "He said that if Simpson made research progress earlier than his project team, he would also be willing to accept the patent buyout, and I will pay the money."

Lin Yi unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table.

"Professor, tell me, is there such a possibility? That Manda Archie doesn't have any project results in his hands at all. He's just... empty-handed."

Although Lin Yi felt that his guess was absurd, it was not impossible, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it became.

First, Manda Archie hyped up the results of his project, but except for those unknown newspapers and magazines, he has not accepted any interviews with any large and well-known media.

Second, apart from speaking out in the media, Lin Yi did not read Manda Archie’s papers from any authoritative journals. Simpson even used his own connections to ask several world-renowned journals, and they did not receive Manda Archie’s papers. Contribution by Da Archie.

Third, Simpson Labs sent him a lawyer's letter, but he was not only not angry, but he proposed cooperation to Simpson?Could it be that Mr. Manda has a particularly good self-cultivation?Lin Yi didn't believe it.

Simpson was taken aback by Lin Yi's bold conjecture, "Is this... possible? There will be such a person?"

"Professor, the world is huge, and strange things can happen to a population of more than one billion."

"Then what if..."

"There is no chance, if he really has some bullshit registered patents, I am sure to bypass them all!"

Simpson was silent for a while, "Understood, I will go to the laboratory that had a dispute with that person to inquire about it."

Coming out of the Simpson laboratory, Lin Yi did not go back to the new energy center, but grabbed his messy hair and walked towards the dormitory.

He has already taken root in the guest room of Zhuang Cheng's house, and even brought the computer, daily necessities and clothes from the dormitory opposite.

Because Lin Yi has been staying in the laboratory for the past few months, and the number of times he has returned to the dormitory can be counted on one hand, Zhuang Cheng just turned a blind eye.

It’s just that our Professor Zhuang will soon find out that sometimes soft-heartedness depends on who is right. Some people know how to push an inch, and the result of opening one eye and closing one eye is that it’s useless to open your eyes later. up.

Because of the "Quantum Structure of Electroweak Interaction" project, Zhuang Cheng went to the National Laboratory of the United States to borrow the "Hadron Collider" to conduct experiments, and he just came back yesterday.

And just a week ago, Zhuang Cheng was officially hired as a tenured professor in the Department of Physics at Stanford.

He is the youngest tenured professor at Stanford since its founding.When the letter of appointment came out officially, it fell through the eyes of many Americans.

The youngest tenured professor at Stanford is not an American, but a Chinese!

"Congratulations, my great professor!" Lin Yi opened his arms and gave Zhuang Cheng a firm hug. His hug was purely congratulatory, and he had no bad intentions.

There is a time limit for the use of instruments in national laboratories. All laboratories around the world are queuing up, and each laboratory is allocated only so much time. The researchers had to give up the rest time. Come on, sleep no more than three hours a day.

So in just over a month, Zhuang Cheng lost a lot of weight, and his complexion looked very pale.

"I've heard about your laboratory, is there any difficulty?" Zhuang Cheng pushed Lin Yi away and sat down on the sofa.

"It's just a clown." Lin Yi raised his head and looked at Zhuang Cheng, "You don't seem very happy."

"Happy? About the tenured professor?" Zhuang Cheng smiled wryly, "I'm afraid I can't accept this letter of appointment."

Lin Yi was stunned, "No?"

Why not accept it? Before he could say a word, he vaguely had an answer in his heart, so he couldn't help but fall silent.

really

"Stanford's letter of appointment has prerequisites. I have settled in the United States for a long time and become an American citizen."

Zhuangcheng is not him, Zhuangjia is there clearly, how could he become an American citizen.

"Will it affect your current experiment?" Zhuang Cheng's situation at Stanford might become awkward after he clearly refused.

"Don't worry, my mentor is Zhu Zhaokun, and it won't have much impact on this experiment, but it won't be so in the future." Zhuang Cheng rubbed his temple helplessly.

On the one hand, Stanford's letter of appointment put Zhuang Cheng in a dilemma, on the other hand, Hua Guo was elated when he got the news.

The youngest tenured professor at Stanford is actually a Chinese!

"Old Zhuang, you still know how to teach your son." Even Secretary Zhuang, who is in a high position, was honored by his son, and all the chiefs greeted him one by one.
