Abstract
Nanoparticle synthesis gets a shock Nanoparticles are useful in a wide range of applications such as catalysis, imaging, and energy storage. Yao et al. developed a method for making nanoparticles with up to eight different elements (see the Perspective by Skrabalak). The method relies on shocking metal salt-covered carbon nanofibers, followed by rapid quenching. The “carbothermal shock synthesis” can be tuned to select for nanoparticle size as well. The authors successfully created PtPdRhRuCe nanoparticles to catalyze ammonia oxidation. Science , this issue p. 1489 ; see also p. 1467
