The study of graphene foundation of Chinese and American universities
When it comes to the global attention to graphene, if China is the most enthusiastic, it is America that is relatively calm. Even so, there is good news on the basis of the research and development of graphene. So how do American colleges and universities maintain the innovative energy of basic research in a relatively calm atmosphere? With these problems, science and technology daily reporter interviewed several universities of China and the United States first-class experts, engaged in research on basis of graphene hope through analysis and calm thinking, to further stimulate and promote the domestic great potential for innovation in basic research in colleges and universities. Mentality: orderly rationality and fast driving force the United States to research and development of graphene although very important, but compared to the European Union, it seems that it does not mention its height in strategy; More unlike China, the study of graphene is not a priority. Associate professor of materials science and engineering at northwestern university of science and technology journal reporter Dr Jia-xing huang said, in spite of this, the research in the field of graphene maintains its position as the leading edge, has trained a lot of the corresponding reserve talented person, also promoted the related to research progress in the field of graphene, such as 2 d material preparation, processing and performance research, as well as scientific instruments on the characterization of graphene synthesis production, also promote the creation of a batch of small company. He said, the United States at the university of scientific research basic completely by external funding, and the relevant departments of the review application of graphene research project rational and rigorous, with only "graphene research is important," said don not approve; It is a cliche to say that "graphene can be applied to energy or healthcare". This will require university researchers to apply, in particular, to explain what fundamental issues their research can address, and where it can be applied. Therefore, it is becoming more and more difficult to apply for the project of graphene project, which makes the professors in colleges and universities exert higher creativity. To his analysis, the current domestic heat of graphene is very high, on the one hand, money is more fully, it is opportunity for researchers, but the future could be like the United States "overcrowded," application of scientific research funds become more strict; On the other hand, there are some confusion of concepts. Graphene products have yet to appear and their stock is crazy, which will make the young scholar's mind restless, and just want to get the results and benefits quickly. Therefore, for the research mindset, keep calm and rational mind, encourage more attempts, will be more ordered. Orientation: basic research is the easiest to surprise and provide the original driving force for applied research. For the study of graphene, Chinese universities and research institutes focus on application direction, while American universities pay more attention to basic research. Professor kang feiyu, dean of the shenzhen graduate school of tsinghua university, told science and technology daily that the research on the application of graphene in tsinghua university was relatively early, involving a wide range of fields. His team has done a lot of work on the application, mainly including battery, heat conduction and heat dissipation, and has applied for more than 30 patents, of which more than a dozen have been converted. Basic research, however, need money to support, support and cooperation of enterprises in the target with a certain identity, consider is application and scientific research can quickly win profit, but not the source of basic research innovation which have the future ahead! In addition, in terms of entrepreneurship, professors can't bridge the gap between research and industry, which is one of the reasons why domestic papers and applications are so many, but the results are relatively few. According to huang, American universities are encouraging the idea to be restored to the most creative research, and therefore more important in basic research. , a professor at the university is not generalists, don't push the industrialization of each professor to do best, should give it a choice, would be able to watch the "bench" focus on basic research, without having to livelihood concerns. The United States divides scientific research into three parts and forms a certain pattern: complete basic research, from foundation to application transformation and result transformation. A college professor is not necessarily involved in three paragraphs. He can participate in the first two paragraphs, and the last paragraph needs to be done by someone with skill and vision. If some laboratory research results need to translate, the teacher and the students' union is scheduled to accept the marketization of training, as long as through the review, the feasibility of the project can be obtained to apply for a small venture funds. Objective: unique and chasing hot spots Not long ago, was held at the graduate school of tsinghua university in shenzhen 2016 graphene peak BBS, the first time for the majority of young students set up a "my families' words" competition. More than a dozen Chinese and foreign athletes, the only female students 閆欣 won the second place, she is from wuxi jiangnan university junior faculty of science major in photoelectric information, on the spot, a famous overseas, a professor at the university of active invitation to her, and hope that the future can enter oneself for an examination of his doctoral students, to join the team. Why should a foreign professor accept a student's ten-minute speech? One of the judges of the competition, vice President of the energy research institute, dalian university of technology professor qiu js told science and technology journal reporter said: "Chinese students 閆欣 is unanimously recognized the judges is its clear logic thinking, leisurely, interpretation, and fluent in English, foreign teachers more weight is given to the research methods." He further pointed out that compared with foreign students, Chinese students overall comprehensive scientific research quality there is a big gap, only about 10% of the people is good, most of the lack of independent innovation ability, the teacher dependence is very big, and the team in the school teachers and students hope more promotion, will inevitably follow hot, do not agree with the goal of our basic research. However, high-quality graduate students are the key and foundation to realize the national science and technology development goals. Teacher and students are required to expand, as soon as possible to cultivate and enhance students' interest in scientific research and understanding, and needs of the state and society, and their subject areas key problems to be solved, do, system and in-depth research. And American universities are very focused on whether the study is unique. "There is a tradition at northwestern university that encourages students to get their targeted results while doing research, to create or make a solid push for a research direction," said huang. After graduation, each student has a "research card" of his own, which shows that the research has played a key role in relevant fields. It makes them feel that doing basic research is something to be proud of and meaningful, and is also a key step for future students to find work."
