Stanley's reporting continues.
After all, the theme of this conference, in addition to theoretical chemistry, is also computational chemistry, so he also wants to talk about computational chemistry.
When it comes to computational chemistry, Li Mu’s paper still cannot be avoided.
"I haven't done much research on computational chemistry, but I couldn't help but be shocked by the effect of Li's "Computational Chemistry Model of Interface Reactions of Two Types of Conductors"."
"With an accuracy of more than 80%, it is almost possible to allow computer simulation experiments to replace the chemical experiments we conduct in the laboratory."
"I dare say that this is definitely the greatest effect it has had on us since the invention of the computer."
"But unfortunately, the computational chemistry model mentioned in Li's article is still very limited and can only be applied to electrochemical reactions between two types of conductors."
“So, fellow computational chemists, this is going to be left to you.”
"After our first watoc conference was held in 1987, only a few people realized that computational chemistry would play an increasingly critical role in the future."
"Even today, our chemistry community still wears colored glasses when it comes to computational chemistry."
"But from today on, I hope you can change this situation, and I also hope that Li's paper can bring you guiding experience!"
"The future of chemistry has infinite possibilities, and this possibility is in my hands."
"So, please keep moving forward!"
There was thunderous applause, and Stanley's report officially ended.
Next comes the communication stage.
Many hands were raised in the audience, and then Stanley pointed out one of them.
The man said: "Hello, Professor Stanley, what changes do you think Li's four papers will bring to our chemistry world?"
Stanley smiled and said: "It's very simple. If you look at the extra half of the people in this meeting, this is the most obvious change."
Amidst the laughter, Stanley coughed twice and returned to seriousness: "Of course, the more important change is that our chemistry is entering a new chapter."
Stanley's answer caused another uproar in the audience.
Every chemist participating in the meeting had an excited face.
In this new chapter, they will become the protagonists!
…
After the watoc conference ended, many media who participated in the conference began to write articles.
"Nobel Laureate Stanley: Chemistry will enter a new chapter"
"The Rise of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry"
"Study Mathematics, Chemists"
etc.
Such a grand occasion also attracted the attention of other academic circles.
Especially the physics community.
After all, you must know that Li Mu’s papers include a lot of use of physics, especially the “Electrodynamic Analysis of Electronic Behavior at the Interface of Two Types of Conductors” among the four papers.
This paper can be called a purely physical paper, and the various methods used in this paper are unique in the analysis of electrodynamics.
As a result, with this paper, Li Mu also received a lot of attention in the physics community.
Nobel Prize winner in physics Duncan Haldane made a very high evaluation after seeing Li Mu's paper: This paper's use of mathematics can be regarded as top-notch, and its use of exquisite mathematics The formula reveals the behavior of electrons in chemical reactions and fully demonstrates the infinite possibilities of mathematical physics. When I knew that its author was a mathematical genius who proved the hail conjecture, I was relieved and everything made sense. .
Edward Witten, known as the best physicist among mathematicians and the best mathematician among physicists, also said when talking about this paper with a friend: If Li Mu is willing to be my student, I will I must pick him up at the airport in person to express my welcome.
The physics community was so surprised, and people in the mathematics community were delighted to hear it.
Just kidding, although Li Mu studied physics, in the eyes of people in the mathematics community, he is a math person.
Geniuses in mathematics have conquered the worlds of chemistry and physics, which of course makes people in mathematics feel a sense of disciplinary pride.
We are really good at math!
…
While the academic world is bustling, major journals are not idle either.
After all, Li Mu's four papers were first published on arxiv, which means that his papers have not yet passed the review of other journals.
As long as the copyright agreement has not been signed, it means that the publishing rights of these papers can be exchanged.
For any journal, it is obvious that a paper with such great influence needs to be strived for.
…
As one of the three most well-known journals in the scientific community, CSN, the submission rate of "nature" is only 21%, and the probability of acceptance of articles after submission is only 33%.
This means that only 7% of submissions can be accepted by "nature".
Such a low rejection rate not only represents the strict review of Nature, but also represents its authoritative status in the academic world.
It can be said that it is the dream of countless scientific researchers to have an article published in "Nature".
Like a much desired goddess.
But sometimes, the goddess also becomes proactive.
"nature" editorial department.
"None of these four papers have been accepted by any journal?"
Editor-in-chief Joss Winston's exclamations came from his office, attracting the side glances of the editors outside the office.
"Yes, Mr. Winston."
Parker Scrooge nodded. As an intelligence expert at "Nature", he is responsible for finding high-value papers on various preprint websites, and then checking the submission status of these papers.
"This paper has not yet been submitted to any journal, whether it is "Science" or "JACS". I even asked "PRL" and it seems that this Chinese genius has not even published an article. Throw it out.”
"Is this still the case?"
Joss Winston looked surprised, such a paper hadn't been submitted yet?
Logically speaking, the author should have submitted such a top-notch paper long ago.
Besides, even if it hadn’t been submitted, wouldn’t other journals have been frantically looking for it?
After all, they are not the only ones with such intelligence personnel.
Parker Scrooge spread his hands and said: "Maybe other journals thought the same as us and thought that this author had already been submitted."
But then he said: "Mr. Winston, I think we should contact Li Mu immediately and discuss with him the issue of inviting submissions... Because I am asking the editors of the journals, maybe they have also thought of this at this time. Something happened."
Joss Winston immediately clapped his hands: "Yes!"
He stood up suddenly: "Now, immediately, immediately, find me Li Mu's contact information, and I will call him personally."
"Nature" is indeed "nature". With Joss Winston's order, they found the contact information within 3 minutes.
Then, Joss Winston’s phone call came.
After a while, the phone call came through.
"Hello Mr. Li, I am Joss Winston, the editor-in-chief of "Nature". I am calling you because we heard that the four heavyweight papers you recently published on arxiv have not been given to any company. Journal submission, so we at Nature sincerely invite you to submit your manuscript to us, and we will arrange for your manuscript to be published in the journal as soon as possible. What do you think?"
Then, he heard a calm voice coming from the other side: "Oh, sorry, I'm about to defend my undergraduate thesis now. Please call back later. Thank you."
The phone was hung up.
Joss Winston was stunned.
Undergraduate...thesis defense? ?
…
[There are two more chapters in the afternoon]
