Substances trapped in nanobubbles exhibit unusual properties

Tuesday, April 14, 2020 - 09:51 in Physics & Chemistry

Skoltech scientists modeled the behavior of nanobubbles appearing in van der Waals heterostructures and the behavior of substances trapped inside the bubbles. In the future, the new model will help obtain equations of state for substances in nano-volumes, opening up new opportunities for the extraction of hydrocarbons from rock with large amounts of micro- and nanopores. The results of the study were published in the Journal of Chemical Physics.
