Toxicologist Discovers Shortcomings in Studies on Risks Associated with Nanoparticles

Empa toxicologist Harald Krug has lambasted his colleagues in the journal Angewandte Chemie. He evaluated several thousand studies on the risks associated with nanoparticles and discovered no end of shortcomings: poorly prepared experiments and results that don’t carry any clout. Instead of merely leveling criticism, however, Empa is also developing new standards for such experiments within an international network.

Researchers Study Why Ag-Rh Alloy Nanoparticles Possess Hydrogen Absorbing/Storage Property

A research team consisting of Osami Sakata, the director of the Synchrotron X-ray Station at SPring-8, Research Network and Facility Services Division, NIMS; Professor Hiroshi Kitagawa, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University; and Professor Michihisa Koyama, Inamori Frontier Research Center, Kyushu University, made the first observation of the electronic structure in silver-rhodium (Ag-Rh) alloy nanoparticles to investigate why the alloy possesses a hydrogen absorbing/storage property like palladium (Pd) does, given that bulk Ag and Rh do not form an alloy, and that neither element alone is a hydrogen absorbing/storage metal.
