Substances trapped in nanobubbles exhibit unusual
properties

Skoltech scientists modeled the behavior of
nanobubbles appearing in van der Waals heterostructures and the
behavior of substances trapped inside the bubbles. In the future,
the new model will help obtain equations of state for substances in
nano-volumes, opening up new opportunities for the extraction of
hydrocarbons from rock with large amounts of micro- and nanopores.
The results of the study were published in the Journal of Chemical
Physics.
