IBM will allow researchers to use the World Community Grid computer system. This service relies on millions of computers and devices of 730,000 volunteers who have signed up to support scientific research. The volunteers download a dedicated application for personal computers and Android devices, and at any moment when the devices are not using all their processing power - it is automatically directed to performing virtual experiments.

Detection of chemical activity on the surface of nanometer-sized platinum particles, which are used as catalysts in the chemical industry, was made possible by focusing infrared light onto a nanometer-sized needle. These measurements showed for the first time how and where chemical activity occurs on the surface of the particles
