Based on quantum mechanical calculations, MIT researchers have developed this series of pictures showing how sulfur dioxide on a platinum catalyst converts to sulfur trioxide--a compound that poisons advanced catalytic converters for new fuel-efficient engines. Platinum atoms of the catalyst's surface appear as blue spheres, oxygen atoms are black and the sulfur atom is white. In successive pictur...

MIT's smart surface reverses properties

January 29, 2003

Schematic showing the creation of MIT's "smart surface." Steps include creating a field of molecules topped with "hats" (top), then removing the hats so the molecules stand at a precise distance from each other (middle). When a positive electrical potential is applied, the water-loving tops bend down. The loops now exposed are water-repelling (bottom). Reverse the electrical potential and the mole...
