A map for single-atom catalysts
Scientists led by Javier Pérez-Ramírez and Christophe Copéret, together with colleagues at the Universities of Lyon and Aarhus, have studied the atomic environments of single platinum atoms in solid supports as well as their spatial orientation using nuclear magnetic resonance. In the future, this method can be used to optimize the production of single-atom catalysts.
Better images for humans and computers
Maksym Kovalenko and his team, affiliated with both ETH Zurich and Empa, have developed a new image sensor made of perovskite. This semiconductor material enables better colour reproduction and fewer image artefacts with less light. Perovskite sensors are also particularly well suited for machine vision.
