    WHY so many O2 #sensors.

    All you need is up from #catalytic converter and downstream. Even if you got a V #engine, a single cat converter would be plenty adequate, along a single downstream sensor.

  3. "Here, we report a rationally designed #organometallic #catalytic system using earth-abundant metals that achieves Nylon-6 #depolymerization under mild and benign solvent-free conditions at unprecedented rates and selectivity. This process is effective for diverse commodity end-of-life articles such as fishing nets, carpets, clothing, and #plastic mixtures."

  5. Tuning up #photosynthesis with red Rubisco: Rubisco from the red #algae Griffithsia monilis has substantially greater #catalytic activity than the version found in #vascular #plants but cannot be successfully expressed in them. Grafting a small number of regions from GmRubisco into the enzyme from Rhodobacter sphaeroides preserves the greater carbon-fixing activity while also allowing expression of the #chimeric #protein in plants: nature.com/articles/s41477-023

  6. "Here, we use x-ray crystallography and cryo–electron microscopy to chart the structural changes undergone during the progress of the #enzyme through the reaction. We identify a single active site that has evolved to bind, individually and sequentially, substrates that satisfy structural and #chemical criteria to position reactive parts next to the #catalytic triad for reaction"

  7. Catalytic converter thefts are rising as the prices of precious metals soar. The devices, which reduce harmful emissions from cars, contain platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which can fetch hundreds of dollars on the scrap market. Car owners are left with hefty repair bills and insurance claims, while some states are cracking down on the illegal trade.

  9. Researchers have developed a new strategy to help build materials with unique #optical, #magnetic, #electronic and #catalytic properties. These pinwheel-shaped structures self-assemble from #nanoparticles and exhibit a characteristic called #chirality
