Five U of T Engineering projects receive funding boost for state-of-the-art research tools

In this simulation, atoms of five different chemical elements within nanoparticle are represented by different coloured spheres. A computer algorithm developed at U of T Engineering analyzes thousands of possible geometric configurations of these elements in order to predict which ones will have the best performance as industrial catalysts.
