Nano-Driven Catalytic Converter
NanoScienceWorks: Japan's Mazda Motor Corp. is using nanotechnology to deliver what it says is a new generation of catalytic converters that use 70 to 90 per cent less of the precious metals which help to purify exhaust emissions. The converters use nanoparticles of the catalytic metal, less than five nanometers, studded onto the surface of tiny ceramic spheres.
