Scientists discover unsuspected intermediates in the chemistry of combustion

Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories' Combustion Research Facility are part of an international team that has detected a new class of compounds previously unknown in flames, a breakthrough that could lead to soot reduction, decreases in flame pollutants, improved fuel cells, and enhanced modeling of planetary atmospheres and interstellar chemistry. A cover story on the discovery is scheduled to appear in the June 24 edition of Science magazine.
