A solid solvent for unique materials
E-Mail IMAGE: The synthesis of new material using a solid solvent. A substrate covered with a system of uniformly distributed anchors is immersed in a solution containing the desired atoms or molecules,... view more Credit: (Source: IFJ PAN) Materials impossible to obtain with existing methods can be produced using a solid, nanostructured silica solvent. Scientists from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Cracow presented an innovative approach to the production of substances with unique physical and chemical properties. A team of physicists from ...
