Chapter 229: The Nobel Prize Choice(2/2)
[Extended application of xu-weyl-berry theorem] Two pages.
The chairman of the selection committee kept placing sticky notes on his desk, counting them while placing them.
When the fifth convenience note fell, the voice of voting also sounded.
[Breakthrough in the field of laser physics] Three pictures...
After the words fell, there was silence in the office. A bright smile appeared on Professor Wolfgang Kettler's face. He had won.
This great achievement, a breakthrough in the laser field, finally received the glory of its application.
Of course, he also attaches great importance to the expanded application of xu-weyl-berry theorem, but compared with the former, it is too young and needs some time to settle.
Maybe the future belongs to it, but not now.
Across the desk, Professor George Smoot looked in disbelief.
He never believed that the expanded application of Xu-Weyl-Berry's theorem would lose to breakthroughs in the laser field.
It is obvious that the expanded application of the Xu-Weyl-berry theorem is of greater importance and value, and it is obvious that what it brings to mankind is a broad future.
Why does the Nobel Prize give up the future of mankind?
In the front row of the desk, the chairman of the selection committee just smiled indifferently, took out a sticky note from his hand, and put it solemnly on the desk.
[Extended application of xu-weyl-berry theorem] Three pictures.
The calm words came out of his mouth, but they aroused everyone's surprise.
Everyone in the conference room looked at the selection committee chairman with blank expressions.
Isn’t there only five people on the selection committee for the Nobel Prize in Physics?
Where did this sixth ticket come from?
Feeling the attention of everyone, the chairman of the selection committee smiled indifferently and said: "These two achievements are indeed excellent, and both are worthy of the Nobel Prize."
“When it’s really difficult to make a choice, why don’t we award this year’s Nobel Prize to these two people at the same time?”
"After all, the Nobel Prize has never stipulated that it can only be awarded to one achievement at a time, and it has never stipulated that the selection committee can only vote for one person or one achievement."
In the conference room, the other four selection committee members reacted instantly.
The chairman of their selection committee voted for [Breakthrough in the field of laser physics] and [Extended application of xu-weyl-berry theorem] respectively.
Three to three, the two parties had a tie.
This means that this year's Nobel Prize in Physics will be awarded to two different results.
In the history of the Nobel Prize, this is not something that has never happened before, but correspondingly, those research results basically belong to the same framework or are close to each other.
For example, the 1978 Physics Prize was awarded to the two fields of "Basic inventions and discoveries in the field of low-temperature physics" and "Discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiation."
Or it was awarded in 1983 to 'Theoretical research on important physical processes related to stellar structure and its evolution' and 'Theoretical and experimental research on nuclear reactions that form chemical elements in the universe'.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! These different results basically complement each other, or the former promotes the emergence of the latter to a certain extent.
It has never happened before that the Nobel Prize is distributed to two completely unrelated fields like this year.
This is also the main reason why no one has ever thought of awarding the physics prize to both at the same time.
But I have to say that this is the most appropriate method.
...
In the Magic City, after screening the first batch of scientific researchers, Xu Chuan began to assign work.
Unlike the 'Chuanhai Materials Research Institute', he needs to personally preside over nuclear energy research to prevent unexpected situations from occurring during the research process.
If something goes wrong in the research process of lithium batteries, in the hands of formal researchers, they will usually catch fire and burn down the equipment.
What's more serious is that it explodes.
However, in formal research, even if it explodes, it will be difficult to harm the researcher.
After all, there are warning signs before a lithium battery explodes, such as the temperature of the battery rising, expanding like a balloon, etc. This period of time is enough for researchers to prevent and deal with it.
But research on nuclear energy is different.
This thing is much more dangerous than lithium batteries, and big problems can occur if you are not careful.
To take precautions, Xu Chuan had to keep an eye on it personally.
Regarding the "Nuclear Energy Beta Radiation Energy Concentration and Conversion into Electric Energy Mechanism" project, Xu Chuan's first arrangement was to develop a material that can resist nuclear radiation.
In fact, it is the ‘atomic circulation’ technology that has been studied in previous lives.
This technology had already been brought out when he met the old man in the capital.
Of course, what is presented is just a theory. In fact, no one except Xu Chuan knows what kind of effect this technology can achieve.
But this does not prevent us from turning this theory into practical results with the support above.
