UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa., Aug. 13 -- Pennsylvania State University issued the following news release:

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - To turn abundant carbon dioxide into valuable fuel, researchers need a fast and efficient way of determining which catalysts work best over the longest time. Artificial intelligence (AI) models have the potential to help guide catalyst selection, but as with internet chatbots, AI models are only as good as the data put into them.

By convening four laboratories from across the nation to test an experimental carbon monoxide-producing catalyst, a key first step in turning carbon dioxide into fuels, scientists at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, alongside two researchers from Penn State, have demonstrated the importanc...
