Chapter 235 I Am the Authority in the Superconducting World!

At this time, Xu Zhou couldn't help but become excited.

Over the years of doing scientific research, this is the first time that Xuzhou has experienced something similar. Compared with the ordinary scientific research life, this incident is indeed more exciting.

Now Xuzhou is even looking forward to how things will develop next.

That night, Ning Chen and others compiled a new paper and published it on arXiv.

If you continue to choose the arXiv platform, you can publish your paper faster, so that people all over the world can see the content of this paper for the first time.

In this paper, Ning Chen announced the detailed experimental steps during the experiment, and even shared the precise data of the experimental conditions without reservation.

Although these data have certain confidentiality significance, Ning Chen still knows which point is more important than affecting his academic reputation.

According to these detailed experimental steps and accurate experimental data, as long as the scientific research environment and scientific research capabilities meet the standards of the laboratory, the experiment can be reproduced.

Shortly after Ning Chen published the paper, the paper aroused heated discussions in academic circles around the world.

"Ning Chen's team actually published a new paper on room-temperature superconductivity? It seems they are not ready to admit defeat on this matter yet?"

"So many laboratories have successfully reproduced experiments on room-temperature superconductivity. No matter how you look at it, there is a problem with Ning Chen's team's experiment."

"Huh? This paper seems to list a lot of detailed experimental conditions. These data are not reflected in all previous papers."

"If so much detailed data is published, things will really become more interesting. I wonder if several other laboratories dare to publish these detailed experimental data to see if the experimental conditions among them are the same."

"After Ning Chen published this paper, the pressure returned to the South Korea Laboratory. If they did not have full confidence, Ning Chen's team would not dare to publish these experimental conditions publicly."

As this matter fermented, more scientific research teams paid attention to this matter and prepared to conduct recurrence experiments of this suspected room-temperature superconducting material.

After the scientific research team in South Korea learned about this incident, the entire team became even more worried.

"Ning Chen... actually made all these data public?"

Lin Zhongxuan also had to admit that Ning Chen's approach was really decisive, and it could be said that it suddenly blocked their escape route.

But this cannot be blamed on Ning Chen, because everything Ning Chen did was very reasonable and completely based on an objective scientific perspective.

If I had to blame, I could only blame the member of my team who published untrue experimental results in advance without authorization, and his own mistakes again and again.

However, things have reached this point, and Lin Jonghyun has no room to retreat.

After thinking about it, Lin Jonghyun could only call the team members together again to discuss the future response plan.

Everyone looked at the experimental data in Ning Chen's paper, and their faces were very solemn.

They were all people who had participated in the entire experiment and knew that Ning Chen's experimental data were very accurate and that they could indeed produce the same experimental products.

Even the differences in some data are due to the optimization of experimental conditions and will not cause differences in experimental results.

At this time, a team member said:

"Professor Lin, now we can only continue to deny Ning Chen's experimental conditions. Many subtle differences in experimental conditions will affect the final experimental phenomena. As long as we insist on not publishing our experimental conditions, then this matter will remain There is room for mitigation.”

What this member said does make some sense, because many materials science experiments are difficult to reproduce, which can indeed be an excuse for them to continue to quibble.

Moreover, when general laboratories publish papers, they will indeed omit some important experimental conditions to prevent other laboratories from easily replicating their experiments.

As long as there are not many laboratories to replicate this experiment in the future, then there is hope that this matter will be dealt with coldly and no longer attract too many people's attention.

A few days later, Nam Goryeo’s laboratory published another paper on arXiv.

To be precise, this is not a standard paper, but more like a description of the situation.

However, because this matter attracted so much attention, the website still allowed the publication of this "paper".

In the paper, Lin Jonghyun said that the experimental product made by Ning Chen was very similar to their experimental product, but it was not exactly the same product.

Because there is a certain degree of confidentiality in this result, Lin Jonghyun will not release his detailed data to the public, and hopes that everyone will end the discussion on this matter.

Lin Jonghyun's paper did not achieve the desired effect. On the contrary, it attracted more laboratories to participate in the reproduction of this experiment.

Many universities at home and abroad, including Harvard University, Stanford University, MIT, Shuimu University, and Yenching University, have laboratories ready to conduct replication experiments in an effort to obtain real experimental results.

…

In the following time, Ning Chen did not pay attention to this matter, but continued to conduct his own superconducting experiments.

In fact, no matter how others view it, the experimental differences between himself and the Nangory research team will not have any impact on Ning Chen's research.

Normally, Ning Chen doesn't pay attention to all kinds of news from the outside world. He mostly just searches for various academic papers.

As time went by, other experimental teams successively completed experiments on the recurrence of this suspected room-temperature superconductor.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences was one of the first experimental teams to complete this replication experiment, and also published their experimental paper on arXiv.

This experiment was led by Tao Wei. The purpose of the experiment was mainly to train some young researchers and did not pursue any scientific research results.

Of course, Tao Wei also wanted to know whether what happened this time was right or wrong.

Because of his understanding of Ning Chen, Tao Wei believed that the paper published by Ning Chen must be completely true.

Through this experiment, Tao Wei also confirmed his previous conjecture.

This material, which is suspected to be a room-temperature superconductor, is indeed just a magnetic material and does not have any completely conductive properties.

After completing the synthesis and measurement of substances, Tao Wei also informed Ning Chen about the matter.

"Teacher Ning, our Chinese Academy of Sciences has completed the reproduction of the experiment, and there are no problems with your paper. We compared your paper with that of the South Korea scientific research team and confirmed that the two substances are indeed exactly the same. It's just that we don't know , why would the scientific research team of South Korea do such a thing."

"Thank you, Academician Tao. I only carried out the reproduction of this experiment out of rigorous scientific research. As for the South Korea team, I don't know anything about it."

In fact, Ning Chen had some speculations about this South Korean scientific research team, but there was no clear evidence for these speculations, and Ning Chen did not intend to spend energy investigating this matter.

All Ning Chen had to do was to follow science and state his experimental conclusions objectively.

After the Chinese Academy of Sciences completed this replication experiment, universities including Stanford, MIT, Harvard and other institutions also completed their replication experiments one after another.

Without exception, their experimental results point to the fact that this material is not a room-temperature superconductor, but just a magnetic material.

Such experimental results gradually shifted the direction of public opinion.

"If the scientific research teams of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shuimu, and Yanda University may come to negative results because of their personal relationship with Ning Chen, but even those foreign universities have come to the same conclusion, then it can be very It fully explains the problem.”

"I just said that it is not that easy to make a room temperature superconductor. Now we have not even discovered a 150K superconducting material. How could we discover a room temperature superconductor all of a sudden?"

"It seems that the problem lies with the scientific research team of South Korea. But I have a question: Why did several experimental groups successfully reproduce their experiments before, but later laboratories from other universities all expressed their attempts to replicate their experiments? Isn’t the material that appears a superconductor?”

"Just look at the experiences of those laboratories. They are all laboratories with very average reputations. Maybe they have some shady dealings with the laboratories in South Korea. But the laboratories behind them , all come from top universities in the world, and their credibility is much higher."

In the face of these conclusive experimental results, the scientific research team in South Korea had nothing to argue with, so they had no choice but to treat the matter coldly and no longer respond to matters related to room-temperature superconductors.

In fact, at this time, the entire academic community has reached a unanimous conclusion that this material is not a normal temperature superconductor, not even a superconductor, but a special magnetic material.

Only some non-academic people will firmly believe that the scientific research team of South Korea did not continue to respond to this matter just to keep it confidential, and feel that this room-temperature superconducting material really exists.

…

Since publishing a paper containing detailed experimental procedures and data on arXiv, Ning Chen has not participated in this matter again, but has quietly focused his energy on his own research.

After constant experimentation, summary, analysis, and improvement, Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai finally successfully synthesized the ideal substance.

This material is a cuprate oxide, but it is different from previous cuprate superconducting materials.

When Ning Chen designed this material, he incorporated many theories from the study of iron-based superconductors, which made this material special.
