👉 The Smithsonian Fluid, also known as the "Smithsonian's Supercritical CO2 Fluid," is a unique and environmentally friendly solvent developed by researchers at the Smithsonian Institution. This fluid operates at supercritical conditions, where carbon dioxide exists in a state between a liquid and a gas, exhibiting properties of both. It is non-toxic, non-flammable, and has a wide range of solubility properties, making it highly versatile for various applications such as cleaning, extraction, and chemical synthesis. The Smithsonian Fluid offers a sustainable alternative to traditional organic solvents, reducing environmental impact and enhancing safety in industrial processes.
