Dynamics of self-reorganization explains passivation of silicate glasses

Deciphering the dissolution process of silicate glasses and minerals from atomic to macroscopic scales is a major challenge. Here, the authors explain the passivating properties of the gel layer by its reorganization, which is a key mechanism accounting for very low apparent water diffusivity.
