Compared with the quantum Hall effect and magic-angle Graphene, both currently hot topics in condensed matter physics, electron flow theory did not seem all that cutting-edge. And with Materials Science still struggling to make breakthroughs, many people could not see its practical prospects.
After all, finding a Room Temperature Superconductivity material was already so difficult. How much harder would it be to find a material that could meet the requirements of electron flow theory?
So the international community was still watching and waiting, while domestic discussion remained limited.
Of course.
Whether anyone was secretly following up behind the scenes and turning it into a research competition was impossible to know.
A week later, Du Ke received a response from P.R.L requesting minor revisions.
"Minor revisions? A few inappropriate word choices? Great, great. Just polish it up a little! Just as Professor Chen predicted, P.R.L had to put on some airs. They wouldn't let a complete newcomer like me publish the full paper without changing a single word."
Du Ke was in high spirits. It was only minor revisions; even internationally renowned scholars often had their papers sent back for minor or major revisions.
His publication process had gone fairly smoothly. This was the first time he had encountered minor revisions, but considering that P.R.L was a top physics journal, the request was probably the other side's last bit of stubbornness. He only needed to revise it according to the editor's comments. If they refused to give him any face and sent it back for another round of revisions, then Du Ke would get angry. At that point, he would not revise it at all and could simply submit it to another SCI journal of the same rank.
He revised the paper himself according to the editor's comments, but he was
