Co‑Atom Design Turns Water into Hydrogen Peroxide Efficiently

Scientists have found a new way to make hydrogen peroxide directly from water using tiny metal atoms. The trick is to arrange the atoms in a special pattern before heating them up, so that when the metal (cobalt) sits next to three nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom it works best. This pattern is ca
