320 In The Academic World, Ideas Are The Least Valuable

Lu Zhou had always been paying attention to his peers.

On the arXiv website, theses regarding hollow carbon spheres and sulfur composites started to pop up.

Although biology and chemistry were in STEM, an innovative idea did not have any value. Therefore, compared to pure mathematics, theoretical physics, or computer science, biology and chemistry scholars had far less enthusiasm for submitting papers on arXiv. However, trending topics still influenced the academic community.

At the same time, Lu Zhou could use academic search engines to find out whether there had been an uprise in hollow carbon spheres related results.

However, these results weren't as groundbreaking as HCS-1.

Of course, some large research institutes had made significant progress. However, they were more ambitious and didn't want to publish in-progress research.
