Austrian scientists have achieved a breakthrough by embedding individual platinum atoms into an ultrathin material and pinpointing their positions within the lattice with atomic precision for the ...

A research team led by the Department of Energy's (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) designed and fabricated catalysts that can increase the speed of carbon monoxide oxidation ...

Scientists developed a new fabrication technique to fine-tune a platinum catalyst on an atomic level. (Nanowerk News) A research team led by the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. It’s summer, it’s hot, and these atoms are going for a swim. For ...

Crystal lattices are perfect arrangements of atoms and their bonds, repeating infinitely as exact replicas that will react to chemical invaders in precisely the same way — but not naturally. Many ...

Hydrogen and carbon monoxide travel at different speeds due to their molecular size relative to the size of nanoscale tunnels in the structure. While hydrogen binds reversibly, carbon monoxide binds ...

Company’s low-cost high-performance single-atom catalyst for alkaline hydrogen electrolyzers demonstrated higher catalytic ability and better stability compared to commercial platinum-based catalysts ...

Many industrial-scale chemical processes are driven by solid catalysts consisting of tiny chunks of a noble metal such as platinum or rhodium dispersed on a solid support—often a metal oxide. Known as ...
