Cobalt film produces feed for fuel cells A Rice lab produces a thin-film catalyst for both hydrogen and oxygen generation. The material could replace expensive metals like platinum in water-electrolysis devices that produce hydrogen and oxygen for fuel cells. James Tour, the T.T. and W.F.

Water makes wires even more nano
April 13th, 2015
Water makes wires even more nano Rice University researchers create sub-10-nanometer wires from a variety of materials by using water as a mask in a simple etching process. The process is promising for microelectronics manufacturers who seek to shrink the circuits in their devices. James Tour, the T.T. and W.F.
