I have been trying to figure out this Chinese character
But I don't read Chinese and it's calligraphic
So it is hard to count the strokes.
Then I wondered if it could be purposefully ambiguous

Rhodium is a catalyst used for a lot of things. If you look at what Platiunum and Palladium are used for like LENR, I suspect some advance in energy or spaceship drives
Rhodium-catalyzed decarbonylation cross-coupling reactions of aromatic aldehydes and arylboronic acids via CC bond activation directed by a guide group chelation
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1387700320306559
Abstract
A rhodium-catalyzed decarbonylative cross-coupling reaction of benzoquinoline-10-carbaldehydes with arylboronic acids through chelation-assisted sp2 CCHO bond activation has been developed. A variety of functional groups substituted phenylboronic acids or benzoquinoline-10-carbaldehydes are compatible with the reaction under the optimized reaction conditions, the corresponding 10-phenylbenzo[h]quinoline derivatives were obtained in moderate to good yields. The method affords a useful strategy for the synthesis of N-heterocyclic biaryl compounds via rhodium-catalyzed sp2 CCHO bond activation.

Duke University researchers have engineered rhodium nanoparticles (blue) that can harness the energy in ultraviolet light and use it to catalyze the conversion of carbon dioxide to methane, a key building block for many types of fuels.
Duke University researchers have developed tiny nanoparticles that help convert carbon dioxide into methane using only ultraviolet light for the energy source. With the catalyst discovery in hand to do this important chemistry using ultraviolet light, the team now hopes to develop a version that would run on natural sunlight, a potential boon to alternative energy.
The team’s paper has been published in Nature Communications.
Chemists have long sought an efficient, light-driven catalyst to power this reaction, which could help reduce the growing levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere by converting it into methane, a key building block for many types of fuels.
Jie Liu, the George B. Geller professor of chemistry at Duke University said, “The fact that you can use light to influence a specific reaction pathway is very exciting. This discovery will really advance the understanding of catalysis.”
The researchers say the rhodium nanoparticles are made more efficient when illuminated by light and they have the advantage of strongly favoring the formation of methane rather than an equal mix of methane and undesirable side-products like carbon monoxide. This strong “selectivity” of the light-driven catalysis may also extend to other important chemical reactions.
Despite being one of the rarest elements on Earth, rhodium plays a surprisingly important role in our everyday lives. Small amounts of the silvery gray metal are used to speed up or “catalyze” a number of key industrial processes, including those that make drugs, detergents and nitrogen fertilizer, and they even play a major role breaking down toxic pollutants in the catalytic converters of our cars.
Rhodium accelerates these reactions with an added boost of energy, which usually comes in the form of heat because it is easily produced and absorbed. However, high temperatures also cause problems, like shortened catalyst lifetimes and the unwanted synthesis of undesired products.
In the past two decades, scientists have explored new and useful ways that light can be used to add energy to bits of metal shrunk down to the nanoscale, a field called plasmonics.
Henry Everitt, an adjunct professor of physics at Duke and senior research scientist at the Army’s Aviation and Missile RD&E Center at Redstone Arsenal, AL explains, “Effectively, plasmonic metal nanoparticles act like little antennas that absorb visible or ultraviolet light very efficiently and can do a number of things like generate strong electric fields. For the last few years there has been a recognition that this property might be applied to catalysis.”

We should trust you because?
Oh, that's right. You're an anonymous asshole on a board full of anonymous assholes. Why that makes it so clear. Why would I ever trust anybody else when I've got you?.
