Catalytic Compounds Made More Powerful with Uniform Detergent

Scientist David Rosenberg inspects images of a white powder using a robust scanning electron microscope. At close range, the powder resembles coarse gravel, a pile of similar but uneven chunks. Then he studies a second image—the same material created by colleague Hongyou Fan instead of buying from a catalog—and he observes flawlessly smooth, uniform spheres.
