Noble Gasses Trapped in 2D Porous Structures for First Time

Scientists have discovered atoms of argon gas trapped inside a 2-D structure’s nanosized pores. Argon and other noble gases have previously been trapped in 3-D porous materials. This discovery, corroborated at NERSC, could help the design of new materials for gas separation and nuclear waste remediation. Calculations at the NERSC corroborated the research team’s findings. More>
