Recent research led by Jack Binysh from the University of Amsterdam has questioned the long-held belief that enhancing the activity of microscopic components in solid materials leads to better properties.
The findings suggest that more activity does not necessarily translate into improved performance, challenging previous assumptions in the field.
This study, published on April 25, 2026, may prompt a reevaluation of how scientists approach the development of active materials.
