Lanthanum, Actinium & Dysprosium redesigns

Actinium is courtesy of @ichibin-irish, the rest are by me with help from @sciphonpylon

Lanthanum's design has many more of the element's applications incorporated in it. His eyes are now lights as well, and he wears glasses since lanthanum compounds - particularly lanthanum(III) oxide - are used as additives in glass (though not in actual glasses but yknow, cute). His tail is a welding electrode, his body is a scintillation crystal/detector, and between his ears is a LaB6 cathode.

Actinium's design is mainly based on this particular isotope's potential use for radioisotope thermoelectric generators in things such as spacecraft. His backpack is such a generator according to Irish.

Dysprosium has a laser pointer tail, a hard drive on her back, wind turbines on her ears and a dosimeter in her forehead. Her blush and tongue are a bright green in reference to dysprosium oxide, though more saturated for the sake of looking nicer.

Also Rhodium has a catalytic converter tail now!

Rhodium pixel art type shit. Hope I did well.

Day 45&46: Rhodium & Palladium!

Y’know I just have to join the catto kissing bandwagon that’s going on in the community :DDD

I love the catalyst couple so much!! Very cool design, really hard to draw though haha

Scientists build arsenic-lined crystal pore framework to boost rhodium catalyst performance

Rhodium is one of the most powerful catalytic metals known to chemistry. Small amounts of it can drive reactions that produce millions of tons of useful chemicals every year. But getting rhodium to work well—quickly, selectively, and without degrading—depends heavily on the ligands surrounding it. In a paper published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, my colleagues and I show that swapping the usual phosphorus-based ligands for arsenic-based ones, and locking them inside a crystalline porous material, gives rhodium catalysts a significant performance boost.

Which team is your best bet?

Oh hell yeah, more catto teams! Now we don't just have Team Sponch and Team Ytterby... this looks like a gameshow, which is awesome! This is a great idea, and I love the names too! Team NOKIA, with Neon, Tech, Bismuth and Berkelium... seems like quite the interesting bunch! Interesting to see how they'd interact. Team PEARS, with Francium, Arsenic, Iron and Palladium... even more of a group than NOKIA! A catto who cannot speak English, the manager of the hotel, Arsenic, and one of the sweetest and softest cattos. Team MOCKS with Iodine, Titanium, Darmstadtium and Rhodium... having two robotic cattos on one team seems interesting! However, having Rhodium and Palladium on opposing teams might lead to some issues... I'm sure their marriage will survive it though. They've been through so much worse. And Team WINDY with Molybdenum, Aluminium, Fermium and Scandium... seems like quite the tricky few... someone who spends most of 'his' time pondering 'his' gender, a conspiracy theorist, a super radioactive catto and a total airhead... interested to see how they fare. Anyways, seems like an awesome show! Reminds me of that old object show, BFDI... anyways, let the game begin, because It All Starts With The..
