Researchers have created a form of platinum that can remain liquid at room temperature, by mixing tiny amounts of the precious metal with gallium. This new liquid platinum performs catalytic reactions more efficiently than a solid platinum catalyst, using far less of the metal.Platinum is a powerful catalyst for many different reactions, most commonly used in fuel cells and in catalytic converters to clean up vehicle emissions. The problem, however, is that it’s one of the rarest and most expensive metals on Earth,…

Scientists have figured out how to make platinum more affordable as a catalyst: turn it into a low-temperature liquid.It's been known for centuries that noble metals like platinum, gold, ruthenium, and palladium make excellent catalysts for chemical reactions, because they help break the chemical bonds between atoms more efficiently than other metals.  But noble metals are rare and expensive, so large-scale industrial manufacturers generally opt for cheaper, less effective alternatives like iron. (Iron is used as a…

Arifur Rahim, UNSW SydneyCatalysts are substances that can speed up chemical reactions, which is very important for industrial chemistry. However, for some reactions, platinum makes an excellent catalysts, but it is quite expensive. In fact, it is the most valued precious metal and is worth more than gold.Because of this, it is very useful to create new catalysts…

Jötunn, the exotic fusion rifle in Destiny 2, is known for its ability to erase Hive wizards and oppose guardians in an instant. It’s a controversial weapon, one that can turn moderately skilled hands into a Guardian wrecking machine. And now it’s getting even better, with a brand new catalyst. We have everything you need to know about how to unlock the Jötunn Catalyst and what it does.

Visual of two variations of the catalyst, with a segment of the shell removed to show the interior. The white sphere represents the silica shell, the holes are the pores. The bright green spheres represent the catalytic sites, the ones on the left are much smaller than the ones on the right. The longer red strings represent the polymer chains, and the shorter strings are products after catalysis. All shorter strings are similar in size, representing the consistent selectivity across catalyst variations. Additionally,…

Source: Renee Ritchie / iMore When it comes to a game's aesthetic, I'm usually pulled in if there are fantasy or sci-fi elements and luckily for me Catalyst Black supplies both. This online multiplayer centers around teammates wielding guns to take down large beasts and opponents in various modes. Players can also temporarily transform into powerful beasts known as Primals when a gauge counts down, which allows them to inflict far more damage for a short period. I've been playing Catalyst Black on my iPad Air 5th Gen and…

The platinum market should move closer to balance in 2022, according to a Johnson Matthey report. It said platinum demand growth would be driven by rising consumption in catalysts for heavy duty trucks, and increased use of platinum (in place of palladium) in petrol engine catalysts. South African platinum supplies would contract by 9%, with plant maintenance at the country’s two largest PGM refiners, and mining activity hit by…
