"..any debate of any nature can help your work.." Andrei Jitianu (pictured far right) talks with fellow attendees at the XIV International Sol Gel Conference in Montpellier, France. Jitianu described to us how one suggestion made and discussed with a leading expert he met during his attendence at this conference back in 2007 consequently led to a series of studies which will be published soon.
