Fumed silica, an inexpensive commercial product, is supposed to have particles of between 4 and 50 nanometers. It's very strange stuff, forming a gel with common liquids, including water. Whether the material would be useful for this type of experiment, I have no idea.
I've often wondered if palladium or nickel vapor deposited on fumed silica would make for an interesting Arata type experiment. A teaspoon of fumed silica is said to have the surface area of a tennis court. --- On Mon, 7/13/09, Jones Beene <jone...@pacbell.net> wrote: > From: Jones Beene <jone...@pacbell.net> > Subject: RE: [Vo]:motor mix heavy water cement and polymer heavy water mix > To: vortex-l@eskimo.com > Date: Monday, July 13, 2009, 8:43 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Frank, > > > > There are several > companies that specialize in nano-powders.
