十歲男孩合著科學論文

A chemistry professor in Sweden， who had been struggling with a complex problem for about eight years， has finally managed to solve it， but only with the help of his 10-year-old son.

瑞典一位化學教授歷經八年努力終于攻克了一個復雜的難題，只不過助手竟然是他10歲的兒子。

Linus Hovm?ller Zou helped his father， Sven Hovm?ller， discover the 1)atomic structures of a type of crystals called “approximants.” The boy is now co-author of a paper published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.

Linus: (via translator) It feels pretty good. It feels fun. And the fact that I’m one of the youngest is fun.

Professor Hovm?ller had asked his son for help after he noticed his 2)aptitude for solving Sudoku puzzles. His father says that the fact that Linus knew nothing about chemistry or crystals probably helped in solving the problem.

Sven: (via translator) I think I know too much about this. I…I know so many things. Keeping so many pictures and knowledge in my head can get a bit 3)muddled. You don’t see the forest for the trees. But Linus， who did not know anything about chemistry or 4)crystallography， came with a clear and 5)unspoiled brain.

With his first paper already published in a scientific journal， Linus now dreams of becoming a scientist or an artist.

萊納斯·霍夫穆勒·喬幫助他的父親斯文·霍夫穆勒發現了一種叫“approximates”的晶體的原子結構。這個小男孩和他父親共同撰寫的論文發表在了《皇家社會哲學報》上。

萊納斯：（通過翻譯）感覺太棒了，非常好玩。有趣的是，我是年紀最小的作者之一。

霍夫穆勒教授發現兒子在數獨游戲方面的天賦后，便邀請他協助解決難題。萊納斯的父親稱，萊納斯對化學和晶體學一無所知，這也許反倒有助于他解決難題。

斯文：（通過翻譯）在這方面我知道得太多，我知道的東西太多了。掌握的信息和知識太多，反而桎梏了我的頭腦，只見樹木，不見林。但萊納斯不同，他在化學和晶體學方面的知識一片空白，這讓他保持清晰的頭腦。

有了第一篇發表在科學雜志上的論文后，萊納斯開始憧憬著日后成為一名科學家或藝術家。
