Scientists at Penn State University
and the Virginia Commonwealth University have discovered a way to produce hydrogen
by exposing selected clusters of aluminum atoms to water. The findings are important
because they demonstrate that it is the geometries of these aluminum clusters,
rather than solely their electronic properties, that govern the proximity of
the clusters' exposed active sites.
Neil Young said it in 1979: Rust never sleeps. Today, Battelle
researchers have taken his words to heart. In their innovative heads, they have
