Researchers observe nanoscale water formation in real time
Water bubbles coming out of palladium nanocubes. Observed with a transmission electron microscope. Scale bar corresponds to 50 nanometers. Credit: Vinayak Dravid/Northwestern University For the first time, researchers have witnessed hydrogen and oxygen atoms combining to form tiny nano-sized water bubbles in real time and on a molecular scale. The incident occurred as part of a new study at Northwestern…
