Over the past three decades, fleet-average emissions for nitrogen monoxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrocarbons (HC) have shown a significant downward trend and have remained particularly low after the phase-in of the US EPA Tier 2 standards in the mid-2000s.

An international group of physicists led by the University of Arkansas has created an artificial graphene-like structure with transition metal atoms in place of carbon atoms. Graphene, discovered in 2004, is a one-atom-thick sheet of graphite. The U of A-led group published its findings in Physical Review Letters. and Meyers, D.
