DESCRIPTION
Scientists at Rice's Laboratory for Nanophotonics have demonstrated a new catalyst for making clean-burning hydrogen from ammonia. Reporting this week in Science, they describe a plasmonic effect that lowers chemical activation barriers, improves efficiency and could be of general use in other catalysts.
