ITHACA, New York, July 19 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
To remove micropollutants such as pesticides and trace chemicals from the environment, you need something equally small and cunning. One potential method is photocatalysis, which uses semiconducting nanomaterials powered by sunlight to adsorb toxic chemicals on the materials' surface and degrade them.
A Cornell team used a new form of high-resolution optical imaging to better understand how adsor . . .
