UIC physicists find hidden flaw in century-old, common chemical extraction technique
Tuesday, March 26, 2024
For nearly a century, a technique called liquid-liquid extraction has been standard practice in science and industry. It’s used to purify rare earth metals, treat nuclear waste and make perfumes and other consumer…
Effect of increasing pressure on electron localization in the body-centered cubic structure (top) and face-centered cubic structure (lower) of elemental sodium from 0 to 110 GPa (effectively 1 atmosphere to 1.1 million atmospheres). The electronic changes drive the formation of more complex structures under pressure in this and other elements.
