A team of scientists from the Czech Academy of Sciences and Masaryk University has made a major contribution to research into the accumulation of impurities at the interface between crystals, a phenomenon having caused e.g. a series of accidents at nuclear power stations in the UK in the 1960s.
The value of this success is enhanced by the fact that the team succeeded in doing that without any external reputable scientist from a prestigious western institution “opening the door” into such a journal: the published paper originates exclusively from Czech authors.
