Stanford engineers find a way to control chemical catalysts with sculpted light
Date Time Stanford engineers find a way to control chemical catalysts with sculpted light Using state-of-the-art fabrication and imaging, researchers watched the consequences of adding sculpted light to a catalyst during a chemical transformation. This work could inform more efficient – and potentially new – forms of catalysis. By Taylor Kubota Like a person breaking up a cat fight, the role of catalysts in a chemical reaction is to hurry up the process – and come out of it intact. And, just as not every house in a neighborho...
