As the phenomenon of aperture acceleration becomes more and more popular in the academic world, many experts in the field of physics have also expressed their opinions.
Whether it is Javin Bonas, the editor-in-chief of the physics department of Science, or Edward Witten, the founder of M-theory.
Or George Parisi, who obtained Nobel Prize in Physics in 2021, had a lot of communication with Xiao Yi because W boson was overweight, and Frank Wilczek, who once discovered the asymptotic freedom in the strong interaction theory.
It can be said that there is no one in the physics community who would not be excited by this discovery.
Of course, these people are basically Theoretical Physicist, and for experimental physicists, the excitement in their hearts is even greater.
Just like CERN, they have begun to prepare for another maintenance and upgrade of Large Hadron Collider, and they have begun to prepare to release the liquid helium inside.
Every time Large Hadron Collider is run, it needs to add 120 tons of liquid helium to cool down the superconducting line to maintain its superconducting state. It can be said to be a huge cost.
In addition to this matter, they are also preparing to try to synthesize a carbon nanoporous material with a pore size of 26nm as described in the paper. According to the data in the paper, the probability of pore acceleration is greater in 26nm pores. Therefore, in order to ensure that when their collider is started, the particles have a greater probability of being accelerated, so it is necessary to synthesize carbon nanoporous materials with a larger pore size of 26nm.
Of course, in this case, they need to apply for the relevant patent from Xiao Yi first.
Because only the carbon nanoporous material patent of Xiao Yi can help to stably synthesize materials with this pore size.
Of course, Xiao Yi naturally did not reject their application and was even willing to license it to them for free. Of course, there were only two requirements. The first requirement was that they could only use the patent for research on this matter and not for any other purpose, such as providing this material to battery manufacturers. The second requirement was that after they successfully synthesized such a material, they needed to tell him the synthesis method and other various methods, and the resulting series of patents also needed to be granted to him unconditionally.
CERN naturally agreed to these requirements.
After all, Xiao Yi is even willing to license the patent to them for free, and these requirements are very reasonable.
In this way, Xiao Yi can be regarded as using a restricted patent license in exchange for work from a bunch of top teams.
When the CERN team succeeded in the end, he could use their results to further study the phenomenon of aperture acceleration, especially the 26nm aperture, as to why there is a greater probability of aperture acceleration effects.
Of course, it remains to be seen when CERN will succeed.
Xiao Yi is not in a hurry about this. Anyway, the aperture acceleration effect cannot help him study the first wall material of nuclear fusion. It can only be said to have provided some help for his understanding of carbon elements.
Of course, as the discoverers of this phenomenon, he and Liu Xiaodong have also received a lot of attention.
This achievement, in terms of potential, is fully worthy of a Nobel Prize.
However, since the fundamental principle of this phenomenon has not yet been understood, the Nobel Prize will certainly not be awarded directly to them.
If the final principle is explained by others, then they may end up sharing the Nobel Prize equally with another person.
But no matter what, this achievement does have the potential for the Nobel Prize. When Yang Zhenning Yang learned about this, he said excitedly, "This discovery is definitely the most important discovery in physics in the past 50 years! It is completely worthy of a Nobel Prize! The most important thing is that if this is a new basic force, it means that humans will once again obtain a basic force that can be used extensively in daily life! Just like the electromagnetic interaction force."
Yang Lao's words hit the point.
A new fundamental force that can be utilized by humans simply by allowing electrons to pass through nanometer-level apertures is undoubtedly a very important thing.
At present, the only basic force that humans can use on a large scale is the electromagnetic interaction force. As for the weak force and the strong force, they can only be observed in nuclear reactions and high-energy physics.
Among them, the reference to nuclear reactions directly brought weapons to mankind that could destroy entire races and civilizations.
As for gravity, it cannot be seen or touched. Probably its only use to humans is to be able to stand stably on the earth without getting further and further away from the earth.
Therefore, the phenomenon of aperture acceleration is now not only of significance to the world of physics, but also to its significance to the entire human race.
The major media outlets also began to give out various eye-catching headlines amid the commotion.
"The opportunity for humans to break out of the earth and enter the universe?" X particle, or X force?"
"Power amplified 100 times out of thin air?" Magic or reality? The mysterious X particle, the miraculous X particle"
"The Fifth Basic Power!" The miraculous effect brought by X force!"
"Aperture acceleration?" Energy amplified 100 times? Click the link to take you into the past and present life of X particle"
"Shocked!" This new physical particle that has not yet been discovered can actually make humans..."
All kinds of news have kept the popularity of this matter high.
Likewise, Science Island Laboratory became popular again.
Such an important new discovery was born in their Science Island Laboratory. It is difficult to think about it or not.
For a time, other laboratories around the world couldn't help but turn their attention to this laboratory, which had just been built less than two years ago.
In fact, this laboratory really only has one experimental building.
People have to sigh, so no matter how high-end the laboratory's specifications are, people still need to decide the value of the laboratory.
Science Island Laboratory owns Xiao Yi, which has made it one of the most important laboratories in the world.
No matter what, this aperture acceleration phenomenon can be regarded as allowing Science Island Laboratory to enter the ranks of world-renowned laboratories. Although it is at the bottom level, it has already proven its value.
Of course, in addition to these reputations, reporters from all walks of life also came here, wanting to interview Xiao Yi and Liu Xiaodong.
However, Xiao Yi was not very interested in these interviews and rejected a bunch of media, leaving only one interview with CCTV. Then he turned around and handed over the interview to Liu Xiaodong.
Liu Xiaodong is miserable about this.
He is a typical introverted science and engineering man, otherwise he wouldn't have been honest for so long.
He has never experienced speaking in front of the camera, let alone in front of CCTV's camera?
Although he also knew that this was an opportunity to become famous.
But there is no way, the Lord's appointment cannot be violated.
So he had no choice but to accept the interview honestly and wait for the show to be broadcast in the evening.
In the lounge, a bunch of researchers from Science Island Laboratory were gathered around. There were all kinds of food on the table in front of them, including barbecue, fried vegetables, etc. It was like a small party.
At the front, there is a TV, and the program on it has been transferred to CCTV, waiting for Xinwen Lianbo to be broadcast.
Today, they all came here just to witness how their friends who were in the same laboratory with them performed on CCTV.
Because there are currently less than 50 researchers in the laboratory, and they are all in the same building, even those with different research directions basically know each other.
So after they learned that Liu Xiaodong actually received an interview from CCTV, they all wanted to see it with their own eyes.
Fortunately, the lounge is quite big, and there were more than 20 people who didn't come, so the remaining 20 people were sitting here, so it wasn't too crowded.
"You kid, how did you discover this aperture acceleration in the first place?"
While waiting for Xinwen Lianbo to start, on the other hand, Tang Chunming, one of the other three people who participated in the lithium-sulfur solid-state battery project with Liu Xiaodong, couldn't help but ask.
Liu Xiaodong chuckled and said, "Luck, luck, you also know that I was responsible for the carbon nanoporous materials. At that time, I found that some of the data looked a little strange. Later, Professor Xiao asked us to sort out all the experimental data and hand it over to him. I couldn't help asking at that time, and that's what happened after that."
"Of course, the main thing is Professor Xiao's analysis. If it weren't for Professor Xiao's analysis, I would never have thought that this thing was related to X particle. At that time, I completely thought that this thing was some special properties of the electromagnetic interaction force."
Upon hearing this, everyone else present could not help but feel even more envious.
What is luck?
This is called luck!
By luck, this Nobel Prize-level discovery was discovered.
And it's fortunate that their boss is Xiao Yi and not someone else. Otherwise, it is estimated that this result will not fall on Liu Xiaodong's head.
They all also know what happened to Liu Xiaodong.
At this moment, the door to the lounge was opened.
Xiao Yi walked in.
Everyone inside was stunned for a moment, then stood up and shouted.
"Professor Xiao!"
"Director Xiao!"
"Scholar Xiao!"
Obviously, they all didn't expect that Xiao Yi would also come.
Xiao Yi smiled at them, nodded, and said, "I'm here to join in the fun with you guys and see how Liu Xiaodong's interview went."
Liu Xiaodong chuckled and said, "Don't worry! You will definitely not embarrass our laboratory."
Tang Chunming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Be energetic and don't lose your status!"
Xiao Yi nodded, then found an empty seat and sat on it. Someone next to him handed him a cup of milk tea.
Well, the local Kawangka milk tea from Hui Province.
"There are other drinks. Do you want anything else? There is also wine here, including liquor."
Xiao Yi took the milk tea, rolled his eyes and said, "That's it, forget about the wine. In our laboratory, it's better not to drink wine. At most, we can just drink some beer."
Those who were drinking liquor quickly hid the liquor in their hands when they heard what he said.
Xiao Yi glanced at it and said, "Okay, it's okay to have a drink today, but just don't come here to drink in the future."
"Yes! Director!"
The group of people then started drinking again with laughter.
Of course, from today on, the only liquor that can be found in Science Island Laboratory is probably the alcohol in the storage room.
At this time, the time finally came to seven o'clock, and the familiar prelude sounded on the TV, Xinwen Lianbo officially started.
The usual practice is to start with a few international news, and then finally move on to social news.
Host Li Mengmeng said, "Then let's turn our attention to the field of science."
"Recently, in Fei City Science Island Laboratory, Hui Province, China, the team of Professor Xiao Yi discovered a new physical effect that exists at the nanoscale, named the aperture acceleration effect. This discovery is considered to be one of the most important discoveries in the physics community in the past fifty years, and related papers have been published in the internationally renowned journal Science."
"It is reported that when electrons are controlled to pass through the nanopores of a carbon nanoporous material, the speed of the electrons will be greatly increased. This phenomenon is believed by the physics community to come from a particle that has not yet clearly existed, X particle. The existence of this particle was first predicted in 2022 by Professor Xiao Yi."
"According to the speculation of some physicists, this phenomenon may not only represent the existence of X particle, but also represent a new fundamental force of the universe waiting to be discovered."
Then, the screen jumped directly to the outside of Science Island Laboratory, and Liu Xiaodong finally appeared in front of the camera.
Subtitles introducing his identity appeared next to it.
[Science Island Laboratory-Liu Xiaodong]
Everyone present laughed.
"Old Liu, why do you look so nervous?"
Liu Xiaodong rolled his eyes. "It's your first interview, how can you not be nervous? Try it instead of you?"
Everyone laughed again, and the lounge was filled with a happy atmosphere for a while.
Then, under the reporter's interview, Liu Xiaodong also focused on how he discovered the aperture acceleration phenomenon and what significance this phenomenon brings to science and society.
Although he looked very nervous, his answer was still very organized and clear.
I said everything that needed to be said and got to the point, very professional.
As for whether ordinary people can understand it, I don't care about him.
Finally, everything on the screen turned to the current society's evaluation of this matter, and at the same time, there was also the opinion of Academician Xue Kun, a domestic leader in the Quantum Mechanics field.
And this Academician Xue also gave a very high evaluation.
Finally, back in the studio, host Li Mengmeng gave a concluding comment before moving on to the next news item.
And there was a round of applause in their lounge.
"Awesome! You kid!"
Others were convinced by Liu Xiaodong. At least, his interview went smoothly.
Xiao Yi also smiled and patted Liu Xiaodong on the shoulder, and said, "Yes, you are quite talented in accepting interviews. It seems that if there are any interviews in our laboratory in the future, we can let you do it."
Liu Xiaodong: "Huh?"
"No!"
Suddenly, the entire lounge was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Xiao Yi At this time, he picked up a bunch of barbecued meat from the table. After eating it, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I'll leave first. You continue."
Then, he picked up the unfinished cup of milk tea and left the lounge.
Everyone said, "Director, walk slowly!"
After Xiao Yi left, they felt a little more relaxed again.
Although Xiao Yi looks quite young, in their eyes, he is not much different from those respected old professors in their fifties and sixties.
"Speaking of which, I always feel that Professor Xiao has been very busy recently."
"Indeed, I feel that way too."
Everyone else nodded.
"As if he was stumped by some problem."
"It can't be X particle, right?" someone speculated.
"That's it... I guess only X particle can make it difficult for him."
Just as everyone nodded, Liu Xiaodong shook his head and said, "I don't think so."
"He should be working on something else."
He thought about the situation when he met Xiao Yi before, and said, "The thing he is studying now, although I don't know how difficult it is, it is definitely a very important thing, and maybe its influence will not be inferior to that of X particle."
"So awesome?"
"That's how awesome he is."
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but use their imagination.
However, they soon stopped worrying about it.
As someone nearby removed the projection cloth, turned on the projector, and started playing the movie, their second activity tonight - watching a ghost movie - began.
So everyone's attention was shifted to the projection cloth, and they began to judge these ghost films from a scientific perspective.
Time also passed quietly.
About half a month has passed again.
In the office of Xiao Yi.
Looking at the newly built model on the draft paper, Xiao Yi showed a satisfied expression.
Based on analysis and predictions based on various theories, he has now solved many mysteries of carbon.
With this framework model, he can predict some undiscovered properties of carbon under various existing theoretical systems!
Including structures that can withstand the impact of high-energy neutrons and high-temperature plasma flows!
"As for the naming of this model..."
After a moment of thinking, Xiao Yi made a decision. "Let's call it Carbon Deconstruction Diagram!"
