Shown here is a PNNL illustration of the phenomenon, «solvent cavitation under solvo - phobic confinement,» which PNNL researchers saw occur with carbon - rich nanorods they mistakenly created.
PNNL researchers Satish Nune and David Heldebrant are corresponding authors on a Nature Nanotechnology paper that describes the first experimental viewing of a phenomnenon called «solvent cavitation under solvo - phobic confinement.»
