A slow dance at the heart of materials

Professor Simone Napolitano's (ULB) laboratory is studying a new molecular process called "slow Arrhenius process (SAP)". It is a slow dance that allows materials to stabilize, even at low temperatures. This research opens the way for new applications in areas such as organic electronics and pharmaceuticals. Relaxing to reach balance The molecules inside the materials do not remain immobile: they constantly adjust to achieve stability. This proc…
