The full title of this article is:
"The Effect of Magnetic Field on Catalytic Properties in Core-Shell Type Particles"
But, that title occludes at least somewhat, it being an example of what can only be called:
"Magnetic Chemistry".
In Chemistry, we already have the ideas of Temperature AKA "Heat" being able to influence chemical reactions (an ancient idea), but more recently (in history) we have the idea of Electricity being able to influence some types of chemical reactions (AKA "Electrochemistry")...
So why not add Magnetism to that mix -- as well?
When/where/why does Magnetism influence chemical reactions -- and why?
What specific kinds of chemical reactions can Magnetism influence -- and which other kinds does it not influence at all?
I don't know; but I believe in earnest we are on the forefront of many more potentially very interesting future discoveries in this nascent field of "Magnetic Chemistry"...
Anyway, it's a very interesting article!
