Molecular structure of hydrogel specimens as obtained through theoretical modeling (IMAGE)
Caption
Despite the use of chemical treatment for strnegthening sandy soils, an understanding of how it gains strength is lacking. Now, scientists have studied how sandy soil is made stronger through the injection of chemicals. The image above shows the dynamic changes in the molecular structure of hydrogels over time, as revealed through theoretical modeling.
