Catalysis research at the nanoscale
Dec 21, 2020 (Nanowerk News) By examining gold nanoparticles with powerful X-ray beams, scientists hope they can learn how to cut down on harmful carbon monoxide emissions from motor vehicles. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and dangerous gas produced by cars, trucks and other vehicles that burn fossil fuels....
