Catalysts Get a Boost with Atomic-Level Tinkering

The left molecular diagram shows how an individual platinum atom (gray) has replaced a cerium atom (green) on a cerium oxide surface. In the diagram at right, hydrogen molecules (white) applied to the surface split into hydrogen atoms that bond with cerium. This atomically tailored catalyst demonstrated impressive performance.
