Starting from South Korea's room temperature superconductivity, how many people are misled by tape tearing out the Nobel Prize-winning poisoned chicken soup?

  Recently, a private research institute with only two researchers in South Korea claimed to have developed superconducting materials at room temperature. This news quickly became a global hotspot and even stirred up the Chinese and American stock markets. The concept of superconductivity in Chinese and American stock markets has gone up and down like a roller coaster, and even many listed companies have to make a statement that their products have nothing to do with the concept of room temperature superconductivity.

  Regardless of the qualification of this superconducting research institution in South Korea, even if we count the Korean professors who have been endorsed by them, this team's superconducting research ability can't rank in the world. Compared with so many universities, enterprises and research institutions that study superconductivity, their level and research ability are far from perfect, but even so, miracles can't be ruled out. After all, heroes don't ask the source.

  Surprisingly, the South Korean team claimed to have prepared room temperature superconducting materials, but it was unable to verify them. Neither the data in the paper nor the released video can prove the discovery of superconducting materials. Inventing or discovering superconducting materials can win the Nobel Prize, which will trigger a new round of technological revolution, but undergraduates and even middle school students can be competent to verify whether superconducting materials are ordinary. There are also many videos and materials of low-temperature superconducting experiments on the Internet, at least magnetic levitation can be realized, and zero resistance is not difficult to verify.

  South Korea's team has the Nobel Prize level and the invention ability that caused the industrial revolution, but it does not have the experimental ability that middle school students have? Not to mention that the whole research and development process is full of more doubts. It is easy to verify whether there is superconductivity, but the original team can't do it, but other teams can do it? This logic is very funny.

  There is also an industry analysis of American room temperature superconductivity patents, but the problem is that American room temperature superconductivity and South Korea's room temperature superconductivity are two completely different materials. It stands to reason that if South Korea's room temperature superconductivity succeeds, American products will not be competitive, and that patent will be of little use. As a result, the stock market will soar. These are not subject to scrutiny.

  Many people will say that although there are many doubts, it is better to let the bullets fly for a while. After all, some people have torn out graphene with tape and won the Nobel Prize. Maybe the Korean team has really developed superconducting materials.

  A casual search on the Internet reveals many legends of the Nobel Prize torn by tape. Some, like romance novels, say that British physicists accidentally glued graphene with tape one day, and found that they could form multiple layers of graphene, then kept pasting the tape, and finally made a single layer of graphene, which won the Nobel Prize.

  This is actually a kind of poisoned chicken soup. If the Nobel Prize is so simple, it will not have such great influence. With regard to the 2010 Nobel Prize, the Nobel Prize Committee clearly stated that the physicists Professor Andre Geim and Professor Konstantin Novoselov from the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom were awarded the physics prize for their research on graphene and revealing its properties. A detailed introduction can be downloaded from the official website of the Nobel Prize Committee. This 10-page material introduces in detail the discovery process of graphene and the outstanding contributions of two Nobel Prize winners.

  Graphene materials were proposed by scientists as early as 1947. Single-layer graphene was well known to human beings in the 1960s, and several or even single-layer graphene structures can be obtained by lightly stroking paper with a pencil. But the difficulty is to make a large graphene structure whose properties can be measured.

  The technology of obtaining graphene by adhesive tape was done by a team in the 1990s, but there is still no structure to measure the properties of graphene. The Nobel Prize team finally obtained a single layer of graphene by optical method.

  Therefore, it is a very high-tech thing to stick out a single layer of graphene that can be used for experiments with tape. Some teams have done this before, but they can't do it. If you can stick it out as soon as you stick it, humans can draw it out on paper with a pencil long ago.

  However, even if a single layer of graphene is prepared, it can't win the Nobel Prize. Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov obtained two major papers, which were published in Science and Nature respectively.

  The citation data of these two papers are very scary and are the most famous papers in the industry. After the Nobel Prize team made the single-layer graphene structure, they added electrodes to graphene, and then did a lot of experiments, including realizing the quantum anomalous Hall effect of graphene.

  A few months after the publication of the first paper, many institutions around the world have designed various methods to produce single-layer graphene and done a lot of related experiments.

  It can be seen that at the beginning, scientists mainly thought that it was impossible to have a stable single-layer graphene structure in practice. Many methods including adhesive tape were tried to make graphene with experimental value, and the application prospect of graphene was unclear. The Nobel Prize team used pioneering methods to create graphene monolayer structure, and determined various properties of graphene, which proved that graphene has a wide application prospect. Inspired by this, many research teams around the world quickly devoted themselves to this field. In a few months, they invented a variety of methods to manufacture single-layer graphene and did a lot of follow-up experiments. In the following years, the industry applied for more than 15,000 patents on graphene, and China alone applied for as many as 13,000 patents on graphene.

  Therefore, the manufacturing process of single-layer graphene is by no means as simple as accidentally tearing it out with tape, and it cannot win the Nobel Prize. The process of discovery, manufacture and characterization of graphene is a process that scientists have spent more than half a century. From the 1940s to the 21st century, several generations of scientists have been continuously exploring. There is not so much mysticism in scientific innovation, and the poisoned chicken soup that can be a great success casually will only mislead people.

  The first patent authorization case of gene technology drugs affected hundreds of millions of industries.
