[NewCandle] that which reacteth not and is clear

[Keith Nagel]

Hey Nick,

How's about acetone? I've had pretty good luck drying
it with molecular sieve sufficient to be able to plate
sodium out of it. I think you'll end up with an
oxide layer on those particles whatever you do but
perhaps you have some clever handling/storage
techniques you've developed.

Hey folks,

I need some materials selection advice.  The topic is
a casimatter experiment, liquid phase.

Are there any (hopefully low viscosity) liquid
compounds that:

1.  Would be able to non-reactively suspend / enclose
micron to submicron spherules of aluminum...

AND

2.  Have as low an absorption or high a transparency
as possible, out past 250nm heading blue-ward.

Sam Faile suggested ethanol... but a really GOOD
anhydrous high purity grade of ethanol.

Any other suggestions?

The Holy Grail 'neath ancient Roslin waits.
The blade and chalice guarding o'er Her gates.
Adorned in the masters' loving art, She lies;
She rests at last beneath the starry skies.
