Einblick in die Ultrahochvakuumkammer (Katalysatorprobe in der Mitte)
In chemistry, atoms can usually only affect their immediate neighborhood. At TU Vienna, a novel effect with astonishing long-range action has been discovered, which can make automotive catalytic converters more effective. Team (left to right): top: Yuri Suchorski, Sergey M. Kozlov, Ivan Bespalov, Martin Datler. bottom: Diana Vogel, Zuzana Budinska, Konstantin M. Neyman, Günther Rupprechter 3D-picture and a model drawing of a Pd-ZrO2 catalyst. The essential interface/borderline is colored green in the model. View into the ultrahigh-vacuum chamber (catalyst sample in the middle) and "in situ" PEEM image of a CO reaction front. The taste of the chocolate cake's icing should not depend on whether it is served on a porcelain or a silver plate.
