Chapter 492 Finding Fragile Topology (1/3(1/2)
new day,
Xu Mang went to his laboratory with a pile of books.
The road from his Fuda apartment to the laboratory was long, and it was rush hour, so Xu Mang was successfully stuck on the elevated highway. Traffic jams were a daily occurrence in this city, and Xu Mang had long been accustomed to it.
About half an hour later,
Xu Mang finally got off the elevated highway and went all the way to the laboratory.
"well?"
"Am I the first?"
Xu Mang found that he was the first one today. When he usually came here, everyone had already started working. He glanced at the time...it was only half past seven. At this time, Xu Mang fell into a state of confusion.
I...
Wrong time.
Helpless, Xu Mang could only come to the office silently, take out a physics book, cover his face directly and start sleeping.
Physics skill +5
Physics skill +5
at present,
Gravitational wave detection work is stuck, and the solution is to find a mathematical tool to accurately calculate gravitational waves. Unfortunately, Xu Mang does not know this mathematical tool, and the exchange value of the system is very huge...
It requires mastery of three skills: mathematics, physics and astronomy, and consumes millions of skill points.
fortunately,
Since the intelligence reached level four, the value obtained has increased five times, which means that in the future, I will be able to master skills faster and improve their related levels. It seems that this system is very good. I used to regard it as a Taibai cat.
Big scam...
mistakes,
Pure mistake!
for a long time,
A young woman came to the office. She was Wang Ai, the daughter of Professor Wang Jiafu. As usual, she came to the office and woke up the sleepy Xu Mang.
"Xu...Xu Mang!"
in private,
Wang Ai usually calls Xu Mang by his full name. Although every cell in her body admires Xu Mang, her soul rejects him. However, Wang Ai is very polite and will still be respectful when there are many people.
Shout out to Professor Xu.
"Well?"
"What...what's wrong?" Xu Mang took off the data covering his face, looked at her with a confused expression, and asked curiously: "If you don't go to work...what are you doing to me?"
"..."
"What else can be done now." Wang Ai said with a dark face: "Have you solved the mathematical tool for calculating gravitational waves?"
"No."
"Is there a problem?" Xu Mang asked.
I...
this...
Since the problem was not solved, how did he sleep so soundly?
Hearing Xu Mang's words, Wang Ai almost collapsed. Did he meet someone? Don't you know what the situation is now? Don't you know how far behind others you are? Don't you know how many difficulties the laboratory is facing?
"you..."
"Forget it!" Wang Ai said angrily: "It has nothing to do with me anyway, just do whatever you like."
"hey-hey..."
"Don't panic!" Xu Mang said with a smile: "One hundred and four years have passed since gravitational waves appeared when Einstein proposed the general theory of relativity in 1915, and now we are talking.
Many people have been searching for gravitational waves for one hundred and four years, but nothing has been discovered."
"Do you know what it means?" Xu Mang asked with a smile.
Wang Ai frowned and replied seriously: "It is extremely difficult to explain."
"wrong!"
"This shows that one hundred and four years have passed, and it doesn't matter if it takes another year." Xu Mang said, "Do you understand?"
Wang Ai:@#¥%...!*
What theory is this?
Salted fish theory?
"If you do this again, I'm going to call Sister Xiaoman to complain!" Wang Ai had no choice but to seek help from Yang Xiaoman.
Not to mention,
This trick was particularly effective, and Xu Mang woke up instantly.
"Don't!"
"If you have something to say, can you please not involve that tigress?" Xu Mang said helplessly: "About the mathematical tools for calculating gravitational waves... I really have no clue at the moment. Think about it... the world
The famous scientist Xu Mang doesn’t even know about this issue, aren’t others talking nonsense?”
"You should have told me earlier!"
"Currently, Science has approved our quantum probability paper, and you are the corresponding author." Wang Ai said, "There is nothing to do now."
"If you have nothing to do...why do you want to find something to do?"
"Can a living person be suffocated to death?" Xu Mang said calmly: "Now our research funds are sufficient, you can do whatever you want, don't have any scruples... Let me give you an approximate number, we have at least two
One billion!”
Two billion?
cut!
It's not for use in laboratories.
Wang Ai knew that a research institute was being built next door, and estimated that 2 billion would be the funding for the research institute next door.
"well?"
"Speaking of the current scientific community, are there any latest discoveries?" Xu Mang sat on a chair and asked curiously: "Since we still cannot solve the mathematical tools for calculating gravitational waves, why not turn our attention to other fields again for the time being and see
Can we make some breakthrough?"
"Now..."
"The most popular research around the world is graphene and topological states." Wang Ai said: "Graphene is based on your discovery. Many research institutions around the world are looking for new superconductors, and topological states are also because of your graphene superconductivity.
, went from being a curiosity to one of the most popular pieces of research in physics.”
What?
Topological state?
Xu Mang was stunned for a moment. He had learned about topological states before. Due to the strange properties produced by the kink quantum state of electrons, this is a very unpopular concept. Why did it suddenly become popular? Is it also related to graphene superconductivity?
"Be specific." Xu Mang said.
"that is..."
"The research team at the University of Oxford discovered a topological structure that appears in almost all solid-state crystals. This structure is called fragile topology." Wang Ai said: "According to the research team at the University of Oxford, almost all materials have some kind of topology.
state."
"Currently there is only indirect evidence of this fragile topology, no direct evidence..." Wang Ai continued: "Now the whole world is looking for this evidence."
Xu Mang nodded and said with confusion: "What does that have to do with graphene?"
"The Oxford University research team discovered this topological structure from your double-layer magic angle graphene. Certain electronic states contained in the twisted graphene show a suspected fragile topology." Wang Ai said seriously.
Said: "This is calculated by pure mathematics."
I...
Damn it!
Why didn't I notice it before?
Hearing Wang Ai's words, Xu Mang was almost angry to death. Every cell in his body felt very unhappy.
Why did the double-layer graphene discovered by my buddy have this topological structure discovered by Oxford University? Shouldn't it all belong to my buddy?
"Are you pissed off?"
"It's useless to be mad...Who told you not to notice it at first?" Wang Ai said with a smile.
