Appropriately titled \u0022Nanocatalysis,\u0022 the book explores the properties of catalysts, mainly gold, when they are reduced in size to the nanometer scale. At this size, gold, which is notorious for being inert in its bulk form, becomes highly reactive and able to assist in promoting chemical reactions.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe 500-page book was edited by Uzi Landman, director of the Center for Computational Materials Science, Regents\u0027 \u0026amp; Institute professor and Callaway chair of physics at Georgia Tech, and Ueli Heiz, professor of chemistry at the Technical University of Munich.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe work contains five chapters, the first, a 220-page chapter on the properties of gold as a catalyst authored by T.M. Bernhardt, Heiz and Landman. The other five chapters were penned by noteable researchers in the field of nanocatalysis.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0022This is important book because nanocatalyis is a field that introduces the uniqueness of nano-sized materials. It\u0027s not simply an extension of surface science,\u0022 said Landman.  \u0022It focuses on the effect of dimensionality and size as bringing new and unique chemical properties.\u0022\n\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Georgia Tech physicist Uzi Landman, along with a colleague from Technical University of Munich, has written the first book in the field of nanocatalysis.","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Work is the first in its field"}],"uid":"27310","created_gmt":"2007-02-02 01:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:01:37","author":"David Terraso","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2007-02-02T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2007-02-02T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"72350":{"id":"72350","type":"image","title":"Nanocatalyis, the book","body":null,"created":"1449177454","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:17:34","changed":"1475894656","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:44:16"}},"media_ids":["72350"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.phys.chemie.tu-muenchen.de\/","title":"Ueli Heiz"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.physics.gatech.edu\/people\/faculty\/ulandman.html","title":"Uzi Landman"}],"groups":[{"id":"1214","name":"News Room"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"},{"id":"141","name":"Chemistry and Chemical Engineering"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"1302","name":"book"},{"id":"2507","name":"catalysis"},{"id":"2506","name":"catalyst"},{"id":"1631","name":"landman"},{"id":"2286","name":"nano"},{"id":"2508","name":"nanocatalysis"},{"id":"960","name":"physics"},{"id":"2251","name":"uzi"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EGeorgia Tech Media Relations\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ELaura Diamond\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:laura.diamond@comm.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Elaura.diamond@comm.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E404-894-6016\u003Cbr \/\u003EJason Maderer\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:maderer@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Emaderer@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E404-660-2926\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["david.terraso@comm.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
