Gold nanoballs for a cleaner world

Gold nanoballs for a cleaner world

Gold can help make the world cleaner by acting as a catalyst, converting pollutants into cleaner substances. Hidde Nolten is looking into whether he can speed up the process by using small gold balls instead of one large ball.

Goud kan helpen om de wereld schoner te maken door als katalysator verontreinigende stoffen om te zetten in schonere stoffen. Hidde Nolten onderzoekt of hij dit proces kan versnellen door kleine goudbolletjes te gebruiken in plaats van één grote bol.
