Quantum atomic motion on metals leads to insights

Researchers at the Max Planck Society, Munich, have been exploring how atoms and molecules diffuse and react on metallic surfaces in a variety of technological applications related to chemical energy generation and storage. Their ability to simulate and predict this motion is crucial to understanding material degradation, chemical selectivity, and to optimizing the conditions of catalytic reactions.
