Our research: ENTROPY MATTERS!

The scientific team of Prof. Šob from our Department of Chemistry and Prof. Lejček from the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic has made a fundamental contribution to the research of the accumulation of impurities at the interface between crystals. This phenomenon, for example, in the 1960s caused a series of accidents at nuclear power plants in Great Britain. The study published in the prestigious journal Progress in Materials Science opens up new possibilities for the development of more durable alloys or new technological processes for their production.
