New Catalysis Breakthrough Could Unlock Massive Energy Savings
In a significant breakthrough for the field of computational chemistry, chemical engineers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have created a model that elucidates how catalytic reactions work at the atomic level. This newfound understanding could enable engineers and chemists to design improved catalysts and optimize industrial procedures, possibly resulting in enormous energy savings.

"Toronto's waterfront is NOT FOR SALE.
As Mayor, I will stop the province’s plan for a private spa by withholding the 16 acres of City-owned property at Ontario Place that is needed by the Ford government to proceed with its plans for the site." -Josh Matlow -Toronto mayoral candidate
If Tennessee is the new template for accountability and ethics then those in Congress and the Senate who were part of Trump’s J6 coup should also be expelled.
Basically, Doug Ford is building a five-storey underground parking garage and a giant concrete battleship on the #Toronto waterfront.

Sometimes I read these alternative history novels with the premise of “What if the USA lost the American Revolution?”
The plot is always super dystopian.
