"… This is the place where we mainly do experiments, but a lot of the equipment is in the old campus. It has only been moved here recently. Sometimes I have to take the subway to do experiments. But it will be much better next year. Our laboratory will be moved here as a whole. "
"Do I also need to run around?" asked Lu Zhou.
"No," said Liu Bo with a smile. "The Fourier infrared spectroscopy of the sample is done here, and you don't need to participate in the specific experiment. You just need to help us analyze the experimental data. I'll ask someone to give you a table. From today on, you are a member of our research group! "
As he spoke, Senior Brother Liu pushed open the office door.
On the left side of the door, a man in a T-shirt with a buzz cut was fiddling with an instrument that looked like a printer. He didn't notice that someone had come.
Brother Liu walked over with Lu Zhou and patted the man's shoulder. When the man turned around, Brother Liu continued to speak with a smile.
"Let me introduce you, this is Qian Zhongming. You can call him Brother Qian."
"Hello, Brother Qian!"
This Qian Zhongming looked a little honest, or perhaps dull. He didn't seem to be as talkative as Senior Brother Liu.
He looked at Lu Zhou up and down and said, "You are Lu Zhou from the mathematics department?"
"Yes," said Lu Zhou with a smile.
Qian Zhongming nodded and said, "Do you know how to use MATLAB?"
"A little."
"A little is enough." Qian Zhongming nodded. He picked up a USB from the table and handed it to Lu Zhou. He said, "The literature and some introductory tutorials that you need to read are inside, including the application form we wrote when we applied for the fund. After reading these things, you can have a preliminary understanding of our research … Oh yeah, remember not to upload it online."
Although most universities in China cooperated in the field of scientific research, the competition between them was not small. Similar research projects were also being carried out in other universities. Everyone was secretly holding back. After all, when it came to scientific research, the first to arrive ate the grapes, and the second to arrive ate the grape skin. If the first to arrive was someone who ate the grapes without spitting out the grape skin, then the second to arrive might not even be able to eat the grape skin.
The competition between laboratories was just that cruel. Whoever could produce something first would be the one to claim the fruit.
Because of this, the first thing that a lot of project leaders did when they woke up was to search through all kinds of channels to see if there were any bastards who got ahead of them.
"That's all?" Lu Zhou, who was holding the USB, asked.
"That's all for the time being. The new samples have just been sent over and I haven't collected the data yet. It's too late today. I'm going to do it tomorrow." Qian Zhongming touched his nose and said.
"Where is that Fourier infrared spectroscopy data collection done? The old campus? "
"Right here." Senior Brother Qian pointed at his feet.
"Here?"
Lu Zhou looked around but didn't see any powerful experimental equipment.
At least, it was nothing compared to the laboratories next door.
"That's right." Qian Zhongming nodded and pointed to the instrument on the table that looked like an old-fashioned printer. He said, "That's the one we use."
"That's it?!" Lu Zhou stared at this instrument in disbelief. He didn't feel like it was related to any cutting-edge instruments.
"That's right." Qian Zhongming nodded. He seemed to have guessed what Lu Zhou was thinking. He continued, "TENSOR-II research-grade Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. This instrument was custom-made by our laboratory from the German company Brook. The built-in gold reflector has a reflectivity 6.5% higher than the aluminum mirror. It has strong oxidation resistance and optical performance is more stable. Dual-channel digital acquisition, four external output optical path expansion … "
Lu Zhou listened to his explanation with a muddled look.
Although he also read some reference books on materials science during the summer vacation of his freshman year, it didn't involve such specific things.
"Okay, okay, don't scare our junior brother." Senior Brother Liu reached out and patted this guy's shoulder. He looked at the dumbfounded Lu Zhou and said, "This guy sometimes talks too much, don't take it to heart. Tomorrow, we are going to collect Fourier infrared spectroscopy data on a new sample. If you are interested, you can come and take a look, but you may have to get up early. We will start at eight o 'clock sharp. "
"So early? Is there a reason? "Lu Zhou asked curiously.
Senior Brother Liu continued, "The temperature in the morning is just right, but then we found out that the air conditioning is actually the same … Well, I can't explain it clearly, but we agreed that the success rate of the experiment at eight o 'clock in the morning is higher."
Is it that metaphysical?
Lu Zhou was stunned.
The importance of metaphysics in scientific experiments.
What an eye-opener …
…
The Campus Assistant project was supervised by Yuan Liwei and Rong Hai. The part of the code that Lu Zhou was responsible for had already been bug-checked, so he didn't need any help for the time being.
Lu Zhou took the USB that Brother Qian gave him back to his dorm. He copied the information onto his computer and carefully read it line by line.
More than three months ago, when he was still on summer vacation, because of the system mission, he had read professional books related to materials science. However, those books were mainly about basic knowledge and did not involve in-depth content.
For example, carbon nanotubes were considered a relatively cutting-edge field in the world. The technological updates could be described as rapid. If he wanted to understand this field in depth, he could only read a large number of papers.
As for the research project that Professor Lee Yong-eun was responsible for, it could be regarded as one of the more widely used research fields of carbon nanotube materials.
Because of the tailored single-layer carbon nanotubes, it was easy to disperse in polar solvents such as water, alcohol, and DMF to form a colloid. Because of this property, carbon nanotubes were not only studied by countless researchers as the next generation of electronic materials, but they were also more and more widely used in composite materials.
Especially in the two major fields of steelmaking and cement, which were related to the infrastructure industry, it had even become a trend in recent years …
At least in China.
After Lu Zhou finished reading the application for the national fund, he continued to open the folder containing the papers.
Brother Qian had already prepared the papers for him, which saved him a lot of time.
Lu Zhou roughly glanced at the papers, and at least three of them were from Jin Ling University.
When Lu Zhou saw this, he couldn't help but feel impressed. My fellow students are amazing.
At least in the area of carbon cluster materials, their research results were impressive. Only Yan University and Shuimu University could compete with Jin Ling University.
Of course, even though the predecessors had done their research, there were still many technical problems that needed to be solved. One of the most specific problems was that carbon nanotubes were nano-sized fillers. If they could not be evenly dispersed inside the matrix or condensed into groups inside the matrix, then doping would not only not enhance the strength of the matrix material, but it would also damage the inherent properties of the matrix material.
