DNA, Moscow, Jan 2017: Scientists are creating a new silver catalyst to purify the air that can decompose toxic carbon monoxide and other harmful substances into harmless components, an advance that could help fight smog in cities like New Delhi and Beijing. This nanostructure catalyst may be effective even at room temperature and could be used as a filter for ventilation.
