  • IIT Madras research have shown that the common minerals be broken into nano-sized particles in milliseconds by charged tiny water droplets or microdroplets.
  • These minerals are including river sand, ruby and alumina, which are very hard.
  • Microdroplets are known to enhance the chemical reactions, and as a result new chemical bonds form.
  • Soil forms through gradual weathering of rocks, a process that takes 200-400 years to produce one centimetre of soil comprising different sized particles.
  • With the new innovation, in just 10 ms, the mineral microparticles broke up into nanoparticles.
