Nanoscale chemistry

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

For the first time, chemical activity was observed on the surface of tiny particles used as catalysts in industrial production
