The improved catalyst has already released four times the amount of hydrogen ever produced by MoS 2 from water. To determine what was happening, and the best way to make it happen, the Sandia team used computer simulations generated by coauthor Na Sai from the University of Texas at Austin that suggested which molecular changes to seek.

In deepwater drilling, controlling pressure in the oil well is crucial, as excessive pressures in the drilled hole can result in blowouts, leading to events such as the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010.
