Okay... this article is basically cut and pasted from eurekalert and the original article appears to be authored by the professor who's work the article is about, yet it is not written in the first person.

That being said... despite the article being written by a professor, there are some significant errors and/or half truths in the article, which I'm not gonna bother pointing out for him.

I'm a PhD chemical engineer and I work in nanocatalysis... right now I'm working on (you guessed it) Pt catalyst for hydrogen fuel cells. degradation mechanisms are well understood for Pt fuel cell catalysts, in general, and several solutions, that work experimentally and not just in theory, have already been reported in peer reviewed journals (which the guy from Madison obviously did not bother to recognize).

This is piece of shit technical journalism to say the least... but when it comes to actual science on dailytech this seems to be par for the course.




Oops, looks like the paper is out:

I don't have access to the full article though...
