- Why gold never tarnishes has finally been explained
Researchers discovered that gold atoms reorganize into patterns on surfaces to block oxygen, preventing oxidation by up to a trillion-fold. This finding explains gold's resistance to tarnishing and could lead to advanced gold-based catalysts for manufacturing and clean energy.
- A ‘volatility spasm’ is set to provide the toughest test yet to the 9-week-old stock-market rally
A 'volatility spasm' could challenge the 9-week-old stock-market rally as SpotGamma highlights potential catalysts causing market tremors this month.
- Breakthrough discovery reveals hidden oxygen flow deep inside catalysts
Researchers have discovered that oxygen atoms can move through the interior of catalysts, not just their surfaces, revealing that bulk material actively participates in reactions. This breakthrough could lead to more efficient catalyst systems by utilizing hidden internal pathways.
