Mazda to Showcase 2010 MAZDA3 Featuring World's First Vehicle Catalyst Constructed with Single Nanotechnology

The new 2.5L engine, as well as the 2.0L engine also available on the MAZDA3i 4-Door sedan, features the world's first vehicle catalyst to be constructed with single nanotechnology, which controls even finer material structures than nanotechnology. This new development enables Mazda to reduce its use of scarce resources such as platinum and palladium. Environmental qualities were top of mind during vehicle development, including efficient powertrains and aerodynamics that place the MAZDA3 amongst the best in class.

MIT Researchers Show How Cell Motor Protein Exerts Force to Move

MIT researchers have shown how a cell motor protein exerts the force to move, enabling functions such as cell division.Kinesin, a motor protein that also carries neurotransmitters, "walks" along cellular beams known as microtubules. For the first time, the MIT team has shown at a molecular level how kinesin generates the force needed to step along the microtubules.
