Description
Andrea Vitale and co-authors made salts that melt to a loose, plastic state in a 2026 study. Such salts can carry protons, a use in fuel cells. Three kin salts were made: one plain, one mixed-hand, and one one-hand form of a ring base.
The plain salt kept a neat form at room heat and never turned plastic. The mixed-hand salt stayed loose at all heats tried. The one-hand salt turned from plastic to neat when cooled. Blends of the forms were also probed. Hand mix, it turns out, can freeze or free the loose state, a knob for stuff design.
