All that glitters is not gold : A powerful computational approach using density functional theory and kinetic modeling leads the field of nanoparticle catalysis into a new era. Not only gold exhibits unique properties on the nanoscale, but also other noble and transition metals should show similar effects for a variety of catalytic reactions.
