In the upper right corner, the blue dots represent the layout of tungsten atoms and the red dots represent tellurium atoms. The atomic structure is also shown as a ball-and-stick diagram (yellow and blue, center). (Credit: Berkeley Lab)

Researchers Find a Surprise Just Beneath the Surface in Carbon Dioxide Experiment

Image - Scientists are seeking ways to reduce environmentally harmful levels of carbon dioxide from vehicle emissions and other sources by improving chemical processes that convert carbon dioxide gas into ethanol (molecular structure shown here) for use in liquid fuels, for example. X-ray experiments at Berkeley Lab have helped to show what's at work in the early stages of chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into ethanol. (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)
