Top Papers in Environmental Science, First Runner-Up: Minerals get more complex

摘要

"Interfacial Forces Are Modified by the Growth of Surface Na.no-structures" by Chongzheng Na and Scot Martin, Harvard University, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, 2008, 42 (18), 6883-6889; DOI 10.1021/ es800839a.rnScot Martin and Chongzheng Na of Harvard University published a study about a simple method that has shed new light on the variability that nanostructures create on mineral surfaces. This work is part of a series of studies examining the interfaces of minerals common to some soils. The nano-structure maps, described in one of ES&Ts best papers of 2008, could lead to new ideas about how sorption and other interactions in soils actually work.
