The effective elimination of NO from automobile exhaust at low temperatures poses significant challenges. Compared to other materials, supported RhO catalysts exhibit high NO decomposition activities, even in the presence of O, CO, and HO. Metal additives can enhance the low-temperature NO decomposition activities over supported RhO catalysts; however, the enhancement mechanism and active sites require further investigation.

Article Synopsis
  • * In an experiment, genetically similar mice on a high-fat diet were either isolated or housed together for 12 weeks to study the effects on heart health and metabolism, using various biological analyses to measure changes.
  • * Findings revealed that socially isolated mice developed more severe atherosclerosis due to disrupted lipid metabolism and reduced oxytocin levels, suggesting that social connections enhance lipid management and overall cardiovascular health through a brain-liver communication pathway.
