“The expected outcome of exothermic reactions, that is, the occurrence of SHS between metals and metal oxides, does not always occur. The reaction between silicon oxide and aluminum is one instance where SHS does not occur. The original prediction of the reaction was incorrect; however, the reaction that does occur requires further study. It was determined that aluminum is acting as a catalyst in the reaction.”

- Michelle Marx
