Researchers discovered that isolated platinum atoms in copper surfaces efficiently catalyze the selective hydrogenation of 1,3 butadiene, a reaction important for many industrial applications.1 A new generation of catalysts with one Pt atom for approximate

While palladium, a common catalyst, oxidizes easily, it has now been shown that palladium films grown on ruthenium are surprisingly inert to oxidation when they are thinner than six atomic layers.
The ability to control the binding strength of molecules t
For the first time, researchers have synthesized lateral semiconductor heterojunctions in lithographically patterned arrays within a two-dimensional semiconductor crystal monolayer by a novel process that selectively converted exposed regions
