source:entrepreneurransitioning to a green economy is a key goal for many countries today and India is no exception. Multiple factors have been coming together for India in its commitment towards ecological sustainability, the latest being the discovery of 5.9 million tonnes of lithium in the Salal-Haimana area of Reasi district, Jammu & Kashmir by the Geological Survey of India. This finding is being lauded as a game-changer and a major step towards achieving India's electrification goals.This is because a single electric vehicle (EV) has around 10 kilograms of lithium in it and over ...

Rare earth elements or minerals are a group of 15-17 elements referred to as the lanthanide series in the periodic table of elements.But why are they important?These metals have unusual fluorescent, conductive, and magnetic properties.“They’re always found together. You don’t really find them separately. So, in North Dakota, we have all of those groups and then we have a number of other critical minerals: germanium, and gallium. They’re used in semiconductors. Those semiconductor metals, germanium and gallium in our lignite, is where I think the key opportunity lies,” said UND Senior Research ...

source:physicsworldA new type of fractal has appeared unexpectedly in a class of magnets known as spin ices. The new fractals, which were observed in clean three-dimensional crystals of dysprosium titanate (Dy2Ti2O7), appear to come from excitations of magnetic monopoles in the material, and could have applications in magnetocalorics, spintronics, information storage and quantum computing.Fractals are ubiquitous in nature and exist at many scales, from the macro to the nano. Everyday examples include snowflakes, networks of blood vessels, mountain landscapes and coastlines. To qualify as a fra...

source:umaineIn his career as a University of Maine geologist, Martin Yates has been recruited to help investigate geologic anomalies, but none like the one found last year on Pennington Mountain in Aroostook County. His work contributed to a major discovery of critical mineral resources of rare earth elements and trace metals that was the first of its kind in the eastern half of the U.S. Chunzeng Wang, a professor at the University of Maine at Presque Isle, and John Slack, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist emeritus from Farmington, met with Yates at his microprobe lab in the Bryand Glob...
