Platinum is ubiquitous in the production sectors of chemicals and fuels; however, its scarcity in nature and high price will limit future proliferation of platinum-catalysed reactions. One ...

3D images of platinum particles between 2-3 nm in diameter shown rotating in liquid under an electron microscope. Each nanoparticle has approximately 600 atoms. White spheres indicate the position of ...

Based on the atomic coordinates and species identified through steps (I)–(V), we examined every atom and manually adjusted 37 atoms, producing a 3D model of 23,196 atoms with 6,569 Fe and 16,627 ...

"We were excited to find that the platinum metal dissolved in copper, just like sugar in hot coffee, all the way down to single atoms. We call such materials single atom alloys," said Sykes.

Nanoparticles can be assembled with a variety of structures to exploit the catalytic power of individual platinum atoms on the nanoparticle surface (yellow = gold, blue = platinum). Nature Materials ...
