Satellite method provides insight into ozone-NOx-VOCs sensitivity for different locations

Green Car Congress

With a combination of computer models and space-based observations, Xiaomeng Jin at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University and her colleagues used the concentrations of ozone’s precursor molecules to infer whether ozone production increases more in the presence of nix, VOCs, or a mix of the two, for a given location.

Scientists create “buckydiamondoids”; union of buckyballs and diamondoids function as rectifier

Green Car Congress

An international team led by researchers at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have joined two unconventional forms of carbon—diamondoids and buckyballs—to create “buckydiamondoids”. They were then shipped to Germany, where chemists at Justus-Liebig University figured out how to attach them to buckyballs.
