The Heat Is On

Caption

Heat is transferred from a particle undergoing an exothermic reaction (red) to a particle undergoing an endothermic reaction (blue). A thermal probe excites a particle with infrared light, and the particle emits green light, providing a more accurate form of temperature measurement for the surfaces of catalysts than researchers were previously able to achieve.
