    Vanderbilt research shows how a gel that “melts” at cold temperatures can be used to start chemical reactions

    A new study by Vanderbilt researchers demonstrates the ability to initiate chemical reactions by cooling materials instead of heating them— a counterintuitive process that could open new vistas for applications ranging from monitoring shipping conditions to developing smart clothing that guards against dangerously low temperatures. The paper, published in August… Read More
