Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: Precious metal nanoparticles of platinum and gold are excellent catalysts. But they are expensive and rare. This new method makes it possible to save material.
Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: Since they are so tiny, it is difficult to investigate single nanoparticles. However, this is exactly what researchers are aiming for in order to tailor their properties. For that purpose, they came up with a trick.
Ang.Chem.Int.Ed.: Nanoscientists have discovered a new reaction mechanism to cleave cellulose efficiently and environmentally friendly. (German version below)
