Metallic nanoparticles light up another path towards eco-friendly catalysts

Scientists have produced subnano-sized metallic particles that are very effective as catalysts for the oxidation of hydrocarbons. These catalysts can be as much as 50 times more effective than well-known Au-Pd bimetallic nanocatalysts. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181115154943.htm

Climate, life and the movement of continents: New connections

A new study has demonstrated a possible link between life on Earth and the movement of continents. The findings show that sediment, which is often comprised from pieces of dead organisms, could play a key role in determining the speed of continental drift. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181115165023.htm

Overflowing crater lakes carved canyons across Mars

Today, most of the water on Mars is locked away in frozen ice caps. But billions of years ago it flowed freely across the surface, forming rushing rivers that emptied into craters, forming lakes and seas. New research has found evidence that sometimes the lakes would take on so much water that they overflowed and burst from the sides of their basins, creating catastrophic floods that carved canyons very rapidly, perhaps in a matter of weeks. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181116164505.htm
