yeah, I agree that the CNN guy was a little aggressive. I have to say your research sounds really interesting, but I have one question. Can you recycle the aluminum alloy? Or is the turnover rate high enough the alloy will catalyze lots of reactions?
aluminum -> aluminum oxide -> hall process to get it back to aluminum (industrial process, wikipedia it). and the gallium is recoverable. yay!
but yeah you used some big words... not quite sure what you mean... i hope the above answers your question?
When you look at enzyme rates, you determine the number of reactions the enzyme will do (catalyze) before the enzyme/substrate complex falls apart (turnover). Glad to here that the alloy is recoverable.
