Pairs Of Atoms Boost A Catalyst’s Activity
July 23, 2020 | Leave a Comment
Stanford University and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory researchers have competed a study that identified which pairs of atoms in a catalyst nanoparticle are most active in a reaction that breaks down a harmful exhaust gas in catalytic converters. The most active particles contained the biggest proportion of one particular atomic configuration – one where […]

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) engineers have synthesized a tiny structure with high surface area and discovered how its unique architecture drives ions across interfaces to transport energy or information. Their ‘nanobrush’ contains bristles made of alternating crystal sheets with vertically aligned interfaces and plentiful pores. ORNL’s Ho Nyung Lee, who led the study said, […]

A Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) theoretical study suggests that small changes in roadway paving practices could reduce efficiency loss, potentially eliminating a half-percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector, at little to no cost. (One suspects that would also mean a half percent reduction in fuel use.) Every time you […]
