A new study by researchers from Washington State University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has found that a catalyst using a single or just a few palladium atoms removed 90% of unburned methane from natural gas engine exhaust at low temperatures. The work is published in the journal Nature Catalysis. While more research needs to be done, the advance in single-atom catalysis has the potential to lower exhaust emissions of methane, one of the worst greenhouse gases that traps heat at abo
