Chapter 214 Ye Fei’s research is targeted by many laboratories

Jinling, Southeast University!

Suzhou Key Laboratory of Micro-Nano Biomedical Device Design and Manufacturing!

Director's office!

The chief scientist and director of the research laboratory were sitting across the desk from each other and having a conversation.

"The director, Academician Ye Fei of Zhonghu University, wants to study carbon nanotubes. If we have carbon nanotubes, our laboratory's research will enter a new level."

The director frowned and thought: "Carbon nanotubes do play a great role in the medical field. It can be said that the emergence of carbon nanotubes can treat many diseases."

Carbon nanotubes are one of the most perfect technologies currently created by mankind.

Make, not discover.

Carbon nanotubes are a member of the graphite family, but are different from graphene and fullerene.

Carbon nanotubes do not exist in nature, but are manufactured artificially.

Carbon nanotubes were created in 1991 by Japanese nanoscientist Sumio Iijima.

The mass of carbon nanotubes is one-sixth that of steel and its hardness is one hundred times that of steel.

Therefore, it can create a space elevator.

But because of its strong flexibility.

So, it also has many other applications.

Such as nanorobots, synthetic muscles, and robotic arms.

You should all know that the Iron Man in the movie Iron Man from North Korea has his armor made of carbon nanotubes.

Light weight, strong hardness and high flexibility.

Ordinary people wearing such armor can smash a wall with one palm, and punch a hole in a mountain with one punch.

Let’s talk about nanorobots. Carbon nanotubes can create nanoscale robots that match the patient’s disease.

After being injected into the patient's body, the nanorobot can destroy the disease cells and then disintegrate itself in the patient's body.

Because it is made of carbon, it will not cause any harm to the human body after digestion.

The Jiangsu Provincial Key Laboratory of Micro-Nano Biomedical Device Design and Manufacturing wants to study nanorobots based on carbon nanotubes.

If nanorobots appear, many diseases will be cured.

Scientists predict that nanorobots offer new possibilities for treating cancer.

Of course, it is only possible. Before the emergence of nanorobots, it is not yet known whether cancer can be treated.

The chief scientist said: "I agree with this, so I came to ask if I could contact Academician Ye Fei."

"If possible, when he develops carbon nanotubes, our laboratory hopes to use carbon nanotubes as soon as possible to conduct medical device research."

The director said: "Academician Ye Fei has just started studying carbon nanotubes. Let's go now, as if we are urging him to study. Will this affect his research?"

The chief scientist shook his head and said: "Director, it will be too late if we don't go. Do you know how many research laboratories across the country are currently focusing on Academician Ye Fei's research on carbon nanotubes?"

Carbon nanotubes can be used to create more than just nanorobots, space elevators, synthetic muscles and robotic arms.

It also plays a great role in other fields.

Such as catalyst carriers, hydrogen storage materials, material batteries, supercapacitors and semiconductors.

Although these are just a few words, the application fields are very broad.

Such as supercapacitors.

Lithium-sulfur batteries made of carbon nanotubes have three times the endurance of traditional lithium-ion batteries. The material cost is 1% of the cost of lithium-ion batteries, and the manufacturing cost is 10% of that of lithium-ion batteries.

This can be applied to mobile phones, battery cars, automobiles, aviation, aerospace, submarines, electric locomotives and solar antennas.

Let’s talk about semiconductors. Carbon nanotubes can make semiconductor integrated circuits, and their performance exceeds that of silicon transistors.

It will allow Xia Guo to achieve overtaking in corners in the semiconductor field.

Therefore, laboratories in many fields are now staring at Ye Fei's research.

As long as Ye Fei researches carbon nanotubes and can produce high-quality carbon nanotubes in large quantities.

They immediately used carbon nanotubes for various applied research.

Carbon nanotubes are called the king of new materials, and we don’t just say it casually.

When the director heard this, he asked in shock: "How many are there?"

"As far as I know, our Xia State has more than 300 research laboratories focusing on Academician Ye Fei's research."

"What I don't know is just more."

"This is just the Xia Kingdom, there are more abroad."

As the king of new materials, carbon nanotubes are actually very simple to make and can be made by ordinary people in their daily lives.

And not only carbon nanotubes, graphene and fullerene can also be produced.

The method is to use a graphite electrode to generate an arc, and there will be some carbon dust at the anode.

To put it bluntly, there are two positive and negative wires made of graphite. After power is applied, current will be generated when the two wires are close to each other. If the positive wire is burnt, there will be carbon ash.

This experiment has been around since elementary school, and many elementary school students have done this experiment.

In these carbon ash, there will be powdered carbon nanoparticles, spherical fullerene, flake graphene and tubular carbon nanotubes.

Although carbon nanotubes are easy to make, they are only made in small quantities.

And the quality of the carbon nanotubes produced is not high.

The current problem for all countries is how to mass-produce carbon nanotubes and produce high-quality carbon nanotubes.

The director said in surprise: "There are so many laboratories."

The chief scientist nodded and said: "Yes, so I asked the director to contact Academician Ye Fei as soon as possible!"

"Okay!" said the director, "I will listen to you."

Japan, Kyoto Electric Co., Ltd.!

General Manager's Office!

The general manager and Sumio Iijima were sitting on their knees drinking tea across a small table.

The general manager said: "Iijima-kun, do you know Ye Fei from Xia Country?"

Sumio Iijima, the creator of carbon nanotubes, is 89 years old this year, with silver hair and wrinkles on his face.

But it can be seen that he is still strong now.

Therefore, he can work on the front line of scientific research.

Sumio Iijima is currently a principal researcher at the Nanomaterials Research Institute of Kyoto Electric Co., Ltd.

At the same time, he is also a special professor at Nagoya University, a professor at Meijo University, an honorary member of the Nagoya Institute for Advanced Study, an academician of Japan, a foreign academician of Japan, a foreign academician of Norway, and a foreign academician of Xiawai.

Iijima Sumio nodded and said: "I know, he is a newly emerging genius scientist in Xia State in recent years. I have heard many people talk about him."

The general manager said: "I heard that he is researching carbon nanotubes. Have you heard about it?"

"I haven't heard of that." Iijima Sumio shook his head.

The general manager said: "I heard that Ye Fei's research ability is very strong. As long as the technology he researches, there will be no failure."

"Do you think he can develop high-quality carbon nanotubes that can be mass-produced?"

After saying that, the general manager stared at Sumio Iijima with worried eyes.

He was worried that Ye Fei could develop high-quality carbon nanotubes that could be mass-produced.

Then many areas of Xia Kingdom will achieve breakthrough development in the next few years.

Especially in the field of communications, Xia Guo used to rent the patents of Kyoto Electric Co., Ltd.

If Xia Guo makes a breakthrough in the field of communications, he will not rent patents from Kyoto Electric Co., Ltd.

The losses here are too great.

Iijima Sumio shook his head and said: "Carbon nanotubes are not that easy to study. Although I was the first to create carbon nanotubes, I still haven't been able to figure out how to mass-produce carbon nanotubes."

"If carbon nanotubes were so easy to mass-produce, many technologies would have been developed long ago."

"Yes!" The general manager nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Carbon nanotubes are not that easy to research, so Ye Fei will not develop a mass production method of carbon nanotubes in the short term.

Then, Xia Guo will also rent patents from Kyoto Electric Co., Ltd.

Beili country!
