The question of silicate glass chemical durability is at the heart of many industrial and
environmental issues, with certain glasses, such as bioglasses, needing to transform rapidly …

High-level radioactive waste is accumulating at temporary storage locations around the
world and will eventually be placed in deep geological repositories. The waste forms and …

The extent to which carbon dioxide (CO2) mineralization (“carbonation”) using alkaline
solids can reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations is dictated by the rate of divalent alkaline …

Glass is a versatile material with a remarkable history and many practical applications. It
plays a critical role in our everyday lives, the advancement of science, and the development …

The chemical durability of borosilicate glass used to confine nuclear wastes is known to vary
nonlinearly with their composition, making glass dissolution rate predictions difficult. Here …

In this study, we used ReaxFF reactive force field molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to
investigate the dynamics associated with reactivity at the sodium aluminosilicate (NAS) …

The irradiation of glass by heavy ions induces structural damage, generally leading to a
decrease in its chemical durability whose amplitude strongly depends on the glass chemical …

Abstract Quantitative Structure Property Relationship (QSPR) analysis based on molecular
dynamics (MD) simulations is a promising approach for establishing the composition …

Current plans for the River Protection Project envision starting to vitrifying low-activity waste
