Exchange (Second Update)
No two people have ever won the Fields Medal twice.
In the history of the Nobel Prize, four individuals have won the prize twice.
The most famous is Madame Curie, who won both the Physics Prize and the Chemistry Prize.
John Bardeen and Fred Sanger were the most dedicated to their respective fields, winning two Physics Prize and two in Chemistry Prize, respectively.
The most successful cross-disciplinary scientist was American chemist Pauling, who won the Chemistry Prize and then the Peace Prize shortly afterward.
No one has ever crossed over from the Fields Medal to the Nobel Prize, winning both the Fields Medal and the Nobel Prize.
The fact that Nobel did not establish Math Prize gave Shen Qi an opportunity to make history.
Vice President Lu the School of Mathematical Sciences asked Shen Qi, "The Nobel Prize announcement is coming soon, you have a good chance, right?"
"Hold on to hope, accept reality," Shen Qi said calmly.
Don't get excited or put too much pressure on yourself, otherwise your energy will drop again.
When Old Lu was in high spirits, he wrote a calligraphy scroll and presented it to Shen Qi, which contained four characters: "May you achieve success as soon as you arrive."
Shen Qi had recently been practicing calligraphy, and in return, he presented Lao Lu with a piece of calligraphy. "Success and failure are fleeting, but the green hills remain."
"Where's the idiom solitaire? You have a good attitude, but your calligraphy skills are just average. Look, the stroke of the calligraphy stroke must be vigorous, powerful and integrated." After Lao Lu became the vice-president, he devoted himself to studying calligraphy and maintained a good attitude.
Shen Qi and Lao Lu spent the whole day studying calligraphy. They had to practice their brush calligraphy well so they wouldn't panic when signing their names.
After finishing the "Ode to the Bronze Sparrow Terrace, "Shen Qi received some news that surprised him.
The Duncan Haldane team from the Physics Department at Princeton University will soon visit Chinese Capital, for friendly visits to Yenching University and Tsinghua University.
The organizing body is neither Yenching University nor Tsinghua University, but the Chinese Physics Association.
"What exactly is Haldane's team trying to do by coming to China at this time?" Shen Qi observed quietly, waiting for Haldane's team to arrive.
At the end of August, Haldane and his party of seven arrived in the capital, including three Nobel Prize in Physics, Haldane and two of his students.
Haldane's team's first stop was Yenching University, where they visited under the arrangement of the Chinese Physics Association.
The president of Yenching University, the director of the Shen Qi Mathematical and Physical Research Center, and the dean of the School of Physics received Haldane and his delegation.
"Duncan, have you been to China before?" Shen Qi accompanied Haldane on a tour of the Yenching University campus, with Principal Lu and Dean Ning of the School of Physics following behind, accompanying Haldane's two Nobel laureates.
Haldane said, "I've been to China before, but this is my first time at PKU. Oh, it's a very beautiful school."
As they walked, Shen Qi asked, "I imagine you came to China at this time not just to admire the beautiful scenery of Peking University, right?"
The chubby Haldane said with a smile, "Oh, of course, my team would like to discuss some topics with you."
Shen Qi then asked, "What kind of research topic?"
Haldane: "Metallic Plastic."
"Okay, I'd be happy to exchange ideas with you." Shen Qi thought to himself, "The Nobel laureates from Princeton are really tough; they're trying to steal my job right here on my doorstep."
Looking back, I saw Principal Lu, Dean Ning, and Haldane's two Nobel laureates chatting and laughing.
None of the three Nobel laureates from the American team, including Haldane, were nominated for this year's Nobel Prize.
The only Nobel Prize in Physics nominee from Haldane's team this year is Harry Clark.
Accompanying Harry Clark was Yang Ding Tian, a student of Shen Qi.
"Hey, Yang, you're very young." Clark was a passionate middle-aged white American of Irish descent.
Yang Ding Tian nodded. "Hmm."
Clark spoke significantly more than Yang Ding Tian: "Yang, your English is quite good."
Yang Ding Tian: "Hmm."
Clark said with great interest, "Before coming here, I also learned some Chinese."
"Hey, have you eaten yet!" Clark said this in Chinese, and quite fluently.
"I can't eat," Yang Ding Tian replied in Chinese.
Clark asked, puzzled, "You can't eat? Why? Are you sick?"
After strolling around the campus, everyone arrived at the Physics Department's conference hall to begin the academic exchange.
Shen Qi, representing the Chinese side, spoke first, "We warmly welcome Professor Haldane's research team. I was informed earlier that both sides would be conducting comprehensive discussions on Condensed Matter Physics, and we have prepared some conference materials. Professor Haldane just told me that everyone wants to focus on the sub-field of Metallic Plastic. So, shall we go straight to the Metallic Plastic topic?"
"Okay, that's settled," Haldane said.
"As the hosts, let's start," Shen Qi said, glancing at Yang Ding Tian.
Yang Ding Tian, who was already prepared, stood up and began to play the PowerPoint presentation. He was giving a report on behalf of Shen Qi Team.
Haldane's visit to China may have been partly aimed at showcasing his students.
Anyone can be a good student. Shen Qi also has students with exceptional talent and extraordinary potential.
This PPT was created by Yang Ding Tian, who probably knows the specific experimental data of the FASTER project even better than Shen Qi.
Yang Ding Tian was very familiar with his PowerPoint presentation, and his report flowed smoothly, "In the first half of this year, our laboratory successfully prepared Cerium Aluminum Copper system Metallic Plastic with a Tg of 349K, τ1 of 129.8ps, and I1 of 16.9%... The experimental data shows that this material has commercial potential and is predicted to be applicable in civilian fields such as automobiles and home appliances. Thank you, that concludes my report."
After Yang Ding Tian finished his report and sat down, Shen Qi looked at the group of American physicists across the conference table. "Now, we invite the American experts to ask questions or offer their valuable opinions."
The first American expert to ask a question was Clark: "Hey Yang, wasn't that the article in Today's Physics that you just presented? We're very familiar with that article; we read it months ago."
Shen Qi spread his hands and said, "We haven't made any major progress in the past few months. Our latest research result is the article reported in <Today's Physics>."
Shen Qi instructed Yang Ding Tian to share yesterday's news with the American team, which was not due to a lack of sincerity.
The latest research progress of the FASTER project needs to be kept strictly confidential, Shen Qi could not possibly share national scientific research secrets with outsiders at this time.
Haldane's team was quite sincere; they shared their latest research findings from two weeks prior with the Chinese team.
Of course, this latest achievement, which came about two weeks ago, is what the US claims to be the latest.
Clark, representing the US side, reported, "Two weeks ago, our laboratory successfully prepared Cerium Niobium Binary System of Metallic Plastic with a Tg of 340 K, τ1 of 127.2 ps, and I1 of 20.1%... In an atmosphere without vacuum or gas protection, we precisely processed the Cerium Niobium Binary System Metallic Plastic sample at the 100-micrometer scale, obtaining micro-gears with clear and complete outlines and precise dimensions. This demonstrates that this Metallic Plastic has good filling ability in the supercooled liquid phase region, and the sample strength is sufficiently high. Please see the actual product image."
100 micrometers is 0.1 millimeters, a size that is difficult to see with the naked eye.
In the actual images Clark presented, the gear, with a diameter of 100 micrometers, was magnified to a level that could be clearly seen by the human eye.
The American team naturally couldn't reveal all the experimental details and core parameters; instead, they shared their conclusive findings with Shen Qi Team.
Shen Qi's heart skipped a beat; he felt a mix of nervousness and pressure.
They had agreed to let go of mental stress during the recovery period, but Shen Qi had no choice. The research results presented by Clark didn't seem like fabrications. The Princeton team's research and development progress in high-end Metallic Plastic materials was ahead of Shen Qi Team.
