Scientists in Japan claim to have employed nanoscience to create an artificial form of palladium.
A technique developed by Professor Hiroshi Kitagawa and researchers from Kyoto University has generated a synthetic form of the rare metal.
It was produced by combining molecules of silver and rhodium - two metals that usually do not mix together - to create particles of an alloy that has similar properties to palladium.
The nanoparticles were used to develop a fine solution spray of the alloy, which it is thought could be used in industrial applications rather than relying on Chinese imports of palladium, Professor Kitagawa told newspaper Yomiuri.
He explained further research is now taking place with auto manufacturers and electronics companies to develop the process.
In related news, RNCOS has forecast a compound annual growth rate of 19 per cent for the global nanotechnology industry from 2011 to 2013 in its latest forecast.
