Tuesday publication update! 📖 Selective urea extraction from urine is crucial for urban wastewater treatment, but traditional methods lack efficiency and scalability. Using the Fusion AX for in situ heating experiments, authors captured the real-time conversion of urea into percarbamide, a valuable crystalline peroxide derivative.
What was seen using the Fusion AX system?
🔬 Tracked real-time transitions from an ordered crystalline state to a semiparacrystalline and finally a disordered state
🔥 Integrated molecular dynamics (MD) modeling to map nucleation and growth stages
By watching the transformation unfold, the authors were able to understand details of the nucleation and growth processes for orbital hybridization manipulation processes! This gives fundamental ideas about how localized graphic bonding changes.
