source:university of HoustonSuperconductivity, where electrical resistance vanishes, remains a technology that both powers science and mystifies scientists. It charges MRI scanners, enables new drug discovery through advanced spectroscopy machines, and is used to create the kind of powerful magnets that help smash atoms as scientists work to uncover how the universe is made and how it works. In all of these and more disparate uses, the next-generation machines could have one common connection: the kind of unique wire, or superconducting material, necessary to enable the development ...

source:Ming.comResearchers at the French Geological Survey are looking at ways to extract rare earth elements from mine slag heaps using bacteria found in the subsoil.According to a report by the agency AFP, the process starts by pulverizing mine tailings and dissolving them in liquid.SIGN UP FOR THE BATTERY METALS DIGESTThen, the scientists inject different bacteria depending on the metal they are looking for. They also inject oxygen and nutrients like potassium or nitrogen to feed the microorganisms.These solutions are immediately heated at between 30 and 50 degrees Celsius and agitated by a...

source:GirstAt a laboratory inside a Google data center in Mayes County, Oklahoma, researchers spent the fall of 2019 disassembling old hard disk drives by hand in order to extract a 2-inch-long component known as the magnet assembly. Consisting of two powerful rare earth magnets, the magnet assembly is a critical muscle within the hard drive, controlling an actuator arm that allows the device to read and write data. Over the course of six weeks, the scientists harvested 6,100 of these magnetic muscles, all of them effectively good as new. The magnets were then shipped to a hard drive man...
