Regarding glass-forming ability (GFA), Pd42.5Ni7.5Cu30P20 (PNCP) is regarded as the best bulk metallic glass, although the atomic arrangements that result in its attributes are still unknown.
The hydrogenation of metal-adsorbed formate was determined experimentally by University of Tsukuba researchers and collaborators. This innovation will make it easier to convert carbon dioxide pollution into usable methanol fuel.
