Atomic-scale motion of molten inorganic salts revealed

Published:

Scientific Achievement: The atomic-level motion of inorganic molten salts at high temperatures was revealed for the first time using a novel experimental approach to study the real-space dynamic nature of highly disordered liquids.

Significance and Impact: This research could revolutionize our fundamental understanding of condensed matter in extreme environments and generate new ways to control their physical properties relevant to emerging carbon-free solar energy storage and nuclear reactor technologies.
