A team of chemists from the University of Wisconsin - Madison has introduced a new fuel cell catalyst approach that uses a molecular catalyst system instead of solid catalysts. (sciencedaily.com)
Being able to analyze samples in such conditions enables a whole new range of studies, such as characterizing materials for carbon sequestration, developing solid catalysts and their action to produce biofuels, optimizing food industry processes, and studying how a disease progresses using intact biological tissues.

The first direct, temporally resolved observations of intermediate steps in water oxidation using cobalt oxide, an Earth - abundant solid catalyst, revealed kinetic bottlenecks whose elimination would help boost the efficiency of artificial photosynthesis systems. (newscenter.lbl.gov)
