Researchers Identify Tiny Gold Clusters as Top-Notch Catalysts

Saturday, September 6, 2008 - 15:28 in Physics & Chemistry

Using a pair of microscopy instruments, researchers for the first time achieved state-of-the-art resolution of active gold nanocrystals absorbed onto iron oxide surfaces. The knowledge from this research could potentially improve the effectiveness of catalytic converters that clean automobile exhaust and breathing devices that protect miners and firefighters.
