With White Sheridan's help, the patent number was obtained quickly. This was even faster than Lu Zhou's previous lawyer team in China.

However, even though the field of superconducting materials was a popular academia topic, it wasn't very attractive to the market.
This was obvious in Pablo Jarillo Herrero's research team.
