Size and shape do matter sometimes: Nanocrystals of noble metals are attractive for use as catalysts because of their high surface-to-volume ratios and high surface energies, which result in their surface atoms being highly active. Recently reported platinum nanocrystals with a novel tetrahexahedral shape reveal an enhanced catalytic activity over their "amorphous" nanoparticle counterparts.
