Very Interesting. In my PhD thesis in the 90s I measured the Soret effect in liquid mixtures whereby a temperature gradient sets up a concentration gradient. Only later did I read that this effect played a key role in WW2 to separate isotopes of Uranium. My thesis work was slightly less consequential for National security and the preservation of the free world.
