In this episode, we talk with Dr. Yufei Ma about a breakthrough in clean energy research. Their team has developed a new kind of catalyst made of single platinum atoms and a thin layer of molybdenum that makes splitting water into hydrogen much more efficient.

We explore how arranging atoms in just the right way can unlock record-breaking performance, why this matters for producing green hydrogen, and what it could mean for the future of renewable energy.
