OK, no conflict there the article doesn't claim to have invented the computational method but does appear to do more with it in terms of meaningful and robust application with ridged controls and latest gen of data sampling. I hope they find a correlation between void geometry and catalytic activity level. Fran

Harvard looking at catalysts in a new way representing a paradigm shift in catalyst discovery. computational modeling exploring the use of nanoporous silver-gold alloys as improved catalysts. Their models applied to nanoporus Ni [Rayney Nickel] could be a breakthrough tool. Fran
