Smallest hard disk to date writes information atom by atom
Every day, modern society creates more than a billion gigabytes of new data. To store all this data, it is increasingly important that each single bit occupies as little space as possible. A team of scientists at the Kavli ...

Palladium-gold nanoparticles clean TCE a billion times faster than iron filings
In the first side-by-side tests of a half-dozen palladium- and iron-based catalysts for cleaning up the carcinogen TCE, Rice University scientists have found that palladium destroys TCE far faster than iron -- up to a billion ...

The smell of salt air, a mile high and 900 miles inland
The smell of sea salt in the air is a romanticized feature of life along a seacoast. Wind and waves kick up spray, and bits of sodium chloride - common table salt - can permeate the air.

Mechanism of Cl-initiated oxidation of methacrolein under NOx-free conditions
Chlorine atoms (Cl) are more reactive in the atmosphere than other oxidants. In recent years, researchers have seen increased concentrations of CI precursors in inland areas. The atmospheric oxidation reaction caused by Cl ...
