  "term": "Sonogel",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A gel formed through the application of ultrasound, which promotes the aggregation of particles or molecules in a solution. The acoustic cavitation induced by sonication can lead to localized heating, mixing, and chemical reactions that facilitate gelation. This method is used for synthesizing gels with specific microstructures.",
