A precious metal used everywhere from car exhaust systems to fuel cells, platinum is an incredibly efficient catalyst—but it's costly and carbon-intensive. Now, a serendipitous collaboration between ...

Researchers at ETH have used nuclear magnetic resonance to find out what other atoms are bound to the platinum atoms in a single-atom catalyst and where they are spatially located. The precise ...

A new method in electron microscopy enables sub-20-picometer targeting of individual atoms without prior exposure, opening ...

Now, researchers at the university have developed a brand-new catalyst to improve the process of producing hydrogen. Documented in their study published in March in the journal Small, the team of ...

The coordination environments of different platinum atoms in single-atom catalysts have been measured by researchers in ...

The Catalyst Accelerator has started soliciting applications from U.S. small businesses and startups with dual-use directed energy and electromagnetic warfare technologies for the Fall 2025 Cohort.

The development of efficient alkali-based catalysts for the abatement of formaldehyde (HCHO), a ubiquitous air pollutant, is economically desirable. Here we comparatively study the catalytic ...
