In a paper published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society , they reported demonstrating for the first time that CO 2 captured from air can be directly converted to CH 3 OH in 79% yield using the new homogeneous catalytic system. They recycled the catalyst over five runs without significant loss of activity (turnover number > 2000).

In four campaigns over the year-long study, the team from the University of Toronto measured emissions 15 meters from the roadway, then converted the measurements to fuel-based emission factors (EFs). Some projections expect the 2016 market share of new LDVs with GDI engines to exceed 50%. —Zimmerman et al. Wallace, and Greg J.

Fast neutrons—that is, ones with 1 megaelectron-volt or more of kinetic energy—split the plutonium atoms, releasing secondary neutrons that are captured by the U-238 and convert some of that U-238 into plutonium. Breeder reactors use plutonium as the fissile fuel in the core, which is surrounded by a blanket rich in U-238.
