Pricey platinum does not do well as catalyst when exposed to fuel-cell reactions for long. So, to avoid the frequent use of pure-platinum catalysts, a team of chemists at Brown University has created a unique core and shell nanoparticle that continues to operate through the oxygen reduction reaction at the cathode end of a fuel cell. The nanoparticle is a five-nanometer palladium (Pd) core enveloped by a shell that consists of iron and platinum (FePt).
While retaining its original shape, the shell requires the smallest amount of platinum for an efficient reaction. The team decomposed iron pentacarbonyl [Fe(CO)5] to reduce it to platinum acetylacetonate [Pt(acac)2]. The shell used only 30 percent platinum.
anoparticles generated 12 times more current than traditional catalysts, consistently over 10, 000 cycles. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy funded the research that was conducted by Brown graduate student and co-author Vismadeb Mazumder and researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee.
Interesting automotive fact
The broker is responsible for conducting the optimum price to fit the client need. As brokers connect to the National Dispatch System, they have an access the dispatch list of the car owners’ route and at the same time check the cost listing for other vehicles. Making so, the broker can offer a reliable auto shipping quotes that fit the customer’s budget.
Is what we see based on what we believe?

Because I believe
1 Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
That means I see that, because the cell's nanotechnology and complexity on multiple levels is unmatched by all the engineers on the earth combined, it is a paradox if it comes from a natural cause
But Science does not they say there two ways to get a efficient design?
1.Designers apply their energy and intelligence to trial and error and create a efficient design like the motor of the space shuttle
2
It is a trust in knowlede and it's source

One who loves God will see what they believe and the ones who trust science will believe what they see

Nanotechnology is not ready . how about
by bionecrPeople move some of their interest to something that could be ready sooner. Nanotechnology has been given alot of press, and that may have caused us to over look the possibilities of accupuncture. Or most people are idiots and a small percentage of us do most of the creative thinking Why havent we brought the technique of accupuncture into the 21st century. Hollow micro needles delivering anti biotics to localized areas of the body, or chemotherapy delivered into the closest cappilaries. Such a waste of accupuncturists today. What if this technique were used in areas around the lungs for tuberculosis would we have cleared up infections with less risk of creating drug esistant strains
