Yes - pretty expensive, but as Daniel Rocha points out, they might be able to claim the $1M prize with an investment of $60,000. Also, it's worth noting that the nanoparticles are not pure Pd. Perhaps, too, if Miley were to accept the challenge, a Pd supplier might provide it just for advertising value. And, lastly, if the Miley group could win the $1M, then they would probably be deluged with offers of investment money.
Also, let's not forget Miley also works with Ni-H - so an analogous cell might work with nano-Ni as well. Peter Gluck wrote: > I hope that at the 25th Anniversary of CF, palladium will be history.
