source:CBCIn the push to transition from fossil fuels to greener energy, a key piece of the puzzle is accessing materials to help accelerate the technological shift — namely, rare earth elements.The group of 17 metallic elements has the potential to be a key economic driver for countries mining and processing them. They are crucial for building components for everything from wind turbines and electric-vehicle batteries to cell phones and other products.But they also come with lingering questions over the short- and long-term environmental impacts associated with the mining process.Canada curre...

Pronounced interplay between intrinsic phase-coexistence and octahedral tilt magnitude in hole-doped lanthanum cuprates source:natureAbstractDefinitive understanding of superconductivity and its interplay with structural symmetry in the hole-doped lanthanum cuprates remains elusive. The suppression of superconductivity around 1/8th doping maintains particular focus, often attributed to charge-density waves (CDWs) ordering in the low-temperature tetragonal (LTT) phase. Central to many investigations into this interplay is the thesis that La1.875Ba0.125CuO4 and particularly La1.675Eu0.2Sr0....

source:recyclingtodayThe Remade Institute, a public-private partnership established by the U.S/ Department of Energy (DOE), has announced a new technology license involving an innovation that enables easier and more cost-effective precious metals recovery from end-of-life electronics.Developed with support from West Henrietta, New York-based Remade, the technology is part of a research and development project it first funded in 2020. The project, “Low-Concentration Metal Recovery from Complex Streams Using Gas-Assisted Microflow Solvent Extraction (GAME),” is in progress and is led by Wencai Z...
