Chapter 293 Academician Chen Xianhui

"Oh, lion head, I haven't had a bite like this for a long time." Cao Yuan looked at the dishes and said in surprise, then picked up his chopsticks and picked one up.

After taking a bite, Cao Yuan said with a satisfied look on his face: "Everything else is fine at MIT, but I really miss the school cafeteria."

"Is the food not good over there?" Wu Bin asked curiously.

"It's definitely not bad. On the contrary, it should be said that it is very exquisite. There is even a special Chinese food provided. It's just that they seem to have some misunderstanding about Chinese food... As for Western food, I thought it was quite good at first, but I got tired of it quickly. , after all, I always feel uneasy without some rice in my stomach.”

"Haha, me too." Wu Bin said, picking up a mouthful of rice and stuffing it into his mouth.

"Here's soup."

Qin Simeng placed two boxes containing tomato and egg soup in front of the two of them.

"Thank you." They both said at the same time.

After devouring for a while, Wu Bin suddenly put down his chopsticks and looked at Cao Yuan and asked: "Senior, how long do you think this research interest in using the relative displacement of two-layer two-dimensional materials to produce property changes can last?"

"Let's talk about five years at least." Cao Yuan took a sip of soup: "Although it is unknown whether it will eventually become an epoch-making electronic device, we should still be able to find a lot of theories about superconductivity from this phenomenon."

"Five years..." Wu Bin nodded thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" Cao Yuan asked strangely.

"Oh, I thought that graphene's original high conductivity, light transmittance, mechanical strength, stability, etc. have been verified long ago, but superconductivity has not been realized. Now the senior's research has once again detonated the concept of graphene. field, maybe it can attract more talented people, which is definitely a good thing for my research field.”

After hearing this, Cao Yuan laughed and said: "Hahaha, you made so much noise in the beginning. I believe that given time, the explosion you can cause will be much bigger than mine."

Wu Bin quickly raised his hands and said, "I don't dare. Seniors are the role models of our generation."

"I never compliment people." As he spoke, Cao Yuan suddenly stared at Wu Bin seriously and asked, "Are you really not considering joining our team? I think it will be very pleasant if we can work together."

"In the future, I will definitely consider this issue seriously." Wu Bin answered seriously.

Hearing Wu Binsi's polite refusal without hesitation, Qin Simeng on the side couldn't help but think that he was worthy of the legendary man who refused offers from various top schools. You must know that Senior Cao Yuan is very popular now. If you can join his team, at least nothing else. Qualifications are diamond-encrusted.

Shaking his head helplessly, Cao Yuan picked up the soup bowl and said to Wu Bin: "I look forward to you making more dazzling results in China."

When Wu Bin saw it, he immediately picked up his soup bowl and touched it with Cao Yuan and said, "Then I also wish the senior to make further progress."

…

On the next day, Cao Yuan and several of his teachers went to have dinner, while Wu Bin was recruited by Academician Pan Jianwei, who also came back because of the Guo Prize.

"Professor, are you looking for me?" Wu Bin opened the door and walked into the office and asked.

"Yes, come in." Professor Pan Jianwei waved towards Wu Bin.

When Wu Bin walked in, Professor Pan Jianwei smiled at him and said, "I heard that you helped Professor Zhang solve another problem just after you returned to school?"

"I don't dare take it seriously. I just helped with some finishing work."

"Modest." Professor Pan Jianwei shook his head, "You are very powerful now. I have heard many professors talk about you since I came back. What I am talking about is the problem in front of you, which professor do you plan to choose as your professor?" Master Instructor?"

Wu Bin was stunned after hearing this, thought for a long time and said, "I really haven't thought about this."

Because of their research fields, Wu Bin has had academic exchanges with many professors at HKUST and feels that each of them has a lot worth learning.

After finishing speaking, Wu Bin added: "Besides, I haven't passed my graduation defense yet."

"Defense?" Professor Pan Jianwei raised his head and glanced at Wu Bin with squinted eyes: "Isn't it just a formality for you? With the topic you proposed, it is really not easy to find a professor at HKUST who can stump you. "

"Well..." Wu Bin laughed twice, "Professor Pan, do you have any suggestions for mentors?"

"Don't you have a suitable one in your mind?"

Wu Bin quickly shook his head: "It's not that there are none, it's that there are too many."

You must know that the strength of the Physics Department of HKUST is not because of the strong laboratories, but because of the gathering of masters here!

"Hmm..." Professor Pan Jianwei thought for a while after listening, "How about Academician Chen Xianhui? Have you ever communicated with him?"

"I've heard of Professor Chen, but I haven't had many interactions with him." Wu Bin nodded.

As a professor of condensed matter physics, Chen Xianhui has been persisting in the exploration of new unconventional superconductors and the research of superconductivity and strong correlation physics since completing his PhD.

New superconductors have been discovered successively, including cuprate superconductors, fullerene superconductors, iron-based superconductors and organic superconductors.

But although Wu Bin is also very interested in superconductivity, this is not his main research direction, so he has never had an academic conversation with Professor Chen.
