Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

and the salt crystals re-forming. Dissolving a solid in a liquid depends on the interactions and attractions between the molecules of the liquid (solvent) and the particles of the solid (solute).

an inert aluminum fluoride salt—to a liquid electrolyte containing aluminum ions, creating a solid-state electrolyte. Well, more than a pinch of salt, really. The salt has a porous 3D structure ...

The salt helps block the ability of the water molecules to form solid ice crystals, which prevents the roads and sidewalks from becoming slippery. If there is already snow and ice on the ground ...

Italian researchers have turned light into a quantum ‘supersolid’, an achievement which they called “pretty awesome”.

Initially developed in the 1950s, molten salt reactors have benefits in higher efficiencies and lower waste generation. Some designs do not require solid fuel, which eliminates the need for ...
