One molecule, many atoms: Platinum bonds respond to surface features up to 10 nanometers away
Many chemical processes that sustain modern society depend on molecules binding to metal surfaces. The production of synthetic fertilizer, for example, relies on heterogeneous catalysis, in which gases react on the surface of a solid catalyst. Yet, until now, an important questio
