I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 432 International Dynamics

For a long time, the state has supported universities to carry out scientific research activities, and a simple employment relationship has been formed between the government and university scientists.

The government provides funding, and scientists make inventions, apply for patents, and publish articles.

After the assignment, the scientist went to apply for the next government funding, and then made new inventions, and then it was a new cycle.

As of 2005, the country found that such an operation is not possible, and the patent conversion rate is only 5%. Let alone comparing with the United States, it is even inferior to Germany, Italy, Japan, Britain, France and Australia.

So there was the Chinese version of the Bayh-Dole Act, the Scientific Progress Act.

Shen Qi and the others are doing similar things, making inventions, applying for patents, and publishing articles.

But Shen Qi wouldn't just leave things alone. After greeting Principal Lu, he found Director Qi, the person in charge of Yanda Technology Transfer Center.

Director Qi is the leader of Yanda Technology Transfer Center, but he is not a technical background, but a legal expert, and Yanda invited him back from the United States.

What does the Yanda Technology Transfer Center, a new department that has been established for more than five years, do?

Internally, they are the service department, serving Yanda scientists and scientific research teams with professional legal knowledge in patent application, intellectual property protection, technology transfer, etc.

On behalf of Yanda, they also relied on professional legal means to negotiate with enterprises, and finally facilitated the transaction of patent development rights.

Scientists are not necessarily proficient in patent laws. In actual work, front-line scientific researchers often have a one-sided understanding of patents, and even have some mistakes.

For example, if you don't know the know-how of patent application, you don't know how to use patents to protect your own innovations, and the scope of claims for submitted patent applications is generally very small, and in many cases there is only one independent claim.

Precisely because they are not professional enough in law, it was a common phenomenon in the past for patent inventors to argue with companies.

Enterprises often say that inventors are dishonest, and the patents they buy have no practical value at all.

The inventor complains that the company does not respect intellectual property rights, has no reputation, and the company does not pay the license fee that should be paid according to the sales commission.

The mistrust between buyers and sellers has caused the dilemma that the conversion rate of Chinese patents is only 5%.

Shen Qi is very clear that professional things must be done by professional people, so he found Director Qi: "Director Qi, this is probably the case with my project, and I will trouble you next."

Director Qi, who graduated from Harvard Law School, patted his chest and assured: "Academician Shen, please rest assured that our Technology Transfer Center will provide you with one-stop services. Over the past five years, we have done many successful cases, helping Yanda to transfer technology More than 250 achievements have been made, and the cumulative income for schools and inventors has exceeded 27 billion yuan, and the complaint rate of inventors and enterprises has been lower than 1%.

Look, what is professionalism, this is professionalism.

Director Qi's department is a very professional intermediary service department. Their first home is a scientist like Shen Qi, and their next home is an outside company.

However, the intermediary service department of Yanda Technology Transfer Center does not charge intermediary fees, and they serve scientists and enterprises with a heart.

If an industry wants to develop healthily and rapidly, systems and talents are the most important indicators.

Shen Qi's stay at Yanda University has the advantage of staying at Yanda University. In terms of system, Yanda University enjoys certain preferential treatment, and Yanda University has no shortage of professional talents in various fields.

Under the professional operation of professionals, the Ce-Al-Cu metal plastic of Shen Qi's team quickly applied for patent protection.

Because the FASTER project is state-funded, the resulting intellectual property remains owned by the state.

However, with the support of the legal provisions of the "Scientific Progress Act" and the support of Yanda's preferential policy, the patent development right of Ce-Al-Cu metal plastics, that is, the commercial development right, belongs to Yanda's invention team.

If the commercial development rights of Ce-Al-Cu metal plastics are sold, Shen Qi's team will pay part of the money to the school.

Shen Qi can understand this rule, after all, Yanda University is a national university rather than a private institution.

As for how much money to pay, that is an internal matter of Yan University, and everything is easy to discuss.

As for things like writing a thesis, there is no need for Shen Qi to do it himself now. He has so many doctors under his command, so he can grab one at random, and it's OK to post it after writing it.

"Research and Preparation of Ce-Al-Cu Metal Plastics" was written by Tang Yuan. After he finished writing, he put Shen Qi's name on it and sent it out.

The system's setting is that regardless of whether the thesis is written by Shen Qi himself, as long as it is published and Shen Qi's name is included in the author list, then Shen Qi can get Xueba points.

"Research and Preparation of Ce-Al-Cu Metalloplastics" was published in "Physics Today" sponsored by the American Physical Society.

I don’t know whether it’s because of data brushing or what’s going on, but the latest IF value of Physics Today is as high as 27.928, which is the highest among physics journals in the world and more than twice that of the famous physics journal Physical Review Letters.

The abbreviation of "Physical Review Letters" also sponsored by the American Physical Society is PRL, and Shen Qi is an old friend of this journal.

This time, Shen Qi chose his new friend "Physics Today" for only one reason, his IF value is high.

A high IF value means more Xueba points, and Shen Qi has gained nearly 140 million Xueba points.

A high IF value also means that the journal has been viewed and cited more times.

February 2st has passed, and the work of recommending candidates for the Nobel Prize will end on December 1th this year.

From now to mid-October, the Nobel Prize Selection Committee will conduct a rigorous review of the recommended candidates who meet the criteria.

The review process is confidential, and the review results will be announced in mid-October.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences pays close attention to international authoritative academic journals, but it is not clear how they pay attention to them. Anyway, there is such a thing.

"Physics Today" reported the research and preparation of Ce-Al-Cu metal plastic by Shen Qi's team, combined with the theoretical system of condensed matter physics proposed by Shen Qi before, and the news that Shen Qi is a candidate for the Nobel Prize, Shen Qi became a The focus of attention of the international physics community.

In 2005, the team of the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported the new amorphous material metal plastic for the first time on PRL.

In the same year, the British "Nature" magazine partially quoted the article by the Chinese team on PRL, and commented on this new research discovery under the title of "softening".

This year, "Nature" quoted Shen Qi's team's article "Research and Preparation of Ce-Al-Cu Metal Plastics" on "Physics Today" for the first time, and published comments.

"The Chinese key is self-invented, he proposes the theory, and he verifies the theory. From this article published in "Physics Today", it can be seen that Ce-Al-Cu metal plastic has broad prospects for commercialization."

Shen Qi collected the latest issues of "Physics Today" and "Nature", and the top journals in the United States and the United Kingdom have said that the research results obtained by our team in the laboratory have broad commercial prospects.

"Tang Yuan, hand over "Physics Today" and "Nature" to Director Qi of the Technology Transfer Center. He is a legal expert and may not usually read non-legal professional journals." Shen Qi arranged for Tang Yuan to do such a thing .

Not long after, Tang Yuan came back with these two journals: "Director Qi has a team, all of whom are technically educated, and they read the top ten journals in the world in terms of physics, chemistry, medicine, biology, computer, engineering, etc. journals. "Physics Today" and "Nature" are their regular reading materials."

"It's really professional!" Shen Qi praised Director Qi, and now he fully trusts the professionalism and professionalism of Director Qi's team.

"Wait a minute, they don't read journals on mathematics?" Shen Qi asked, but thinking about it, the transformation of mathematics research results is too difficult. It takes more time to read a mathematics paper than a paper on physics, chemistry and biology. time.Technical personnel who are not majors in mathematics may not be able to understand highly professional mathematics articles.

A few days later, the journal "Chemical Review" sponsored by the American Chemical Society commented on the article published by Shen Qi's team in the physical journal "Physics Today".

The IF value of "Chemical Review" is as high as 47.251, which is higher than that of "Nature" and "Science".

As the name suggests, Chemical Reviews does not publish original articles, they only publish reviews.

"Shen Qi's team synthesized Ce-Al-Cu metal plastic doped with Ge and Sn for the first time. The specific composition ratio and detailed experimental preparation technology are unknown. From the performance data and physical pictures, we can find that this amorphous The alloy has good application prospects."

After reading the report in "Chemical Review", Shen Qi was stunned. The American Chemical Society is so busy, isn't it?

That's right, condensed matter physics is very cross-cutting, especially in the subdivision of the synthesis and preparation of amorphous materials, it is difficult to make a clear distinction between physics and chemistry.

But what the "Chemical Review" did can easily remind Shen Qi of Rutherford.

If you find an introduction about Rutherford in any material, it is usually written according to this template: Rutherford, a famous British physicist, the father of nuclear physics.Academically recognized him as the greatest experimental physicist after Faraday.

Rutherford is a real physics guru, and he can even be said to be a physics madman. His famous saying is: "Science is either physics or stamp collecting."

In that special era, Rutherford didn't pay attention to numbers, chemistry, and life at all. He only had physics in his heart.

However, on a cool autumn day in 1908, Rutherford, the greatest experimental physicist since Faraday, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

The international chemical community named the 104th element Rutherfordium in recognition of the outstanding physicist Rutherford's important contributions in the field of chemistry.

This element is translated into Chinese as a gold character + a Lu.

Until his death, Rutherford failed to win the Nobel Prize in Physics, which he coveted and fought for all his life.

There is also a similar figure in contemporary times, that is, Shen Qi's physics tutor, the famous physicist Edward Witten who won the Fields Medal.

According to historical records, at the end of 1907 and the first half of 1908, the chemical community frantically called Rutherford. This may be an important factor for Rutherford to finally win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is very concerned about the latest developments in the international academic community, especially journals like Chemical Review, which has a high IF value of 47.251 and is famous in the international academic circle for its sharp commentary style.

Shen Qi drank a cup of coffee to suppress his shock. He never thought about winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He only has one goal in the near future: the Nobel Prize in Physics.
