Consortium secures UK funding to create low-carbon alloys using recycled aluminum strengthened by scandium. In a significant move toward sustainable automotive manufacturing, an industry consortium including Aston Martin, Boeing UK, and NioCorp Developments Ltd. has secured approximately $3.8 million in UK funding to develop lightweight aluminum alloys and cast components using recycled aluminum strengthened by scandium. This collaborative initiative, dubbed Project Pivot...
Australian automation teams up with Swedish coupling to increase safety, efficiency, and uptime in crushing plants. In crushing plants, where frequent tool changes often cause production delays, Total Rockbreaking Solutions' integration of BoomSafe's boom control technology with Steelwrist's quick couplers steps in to improve efficiency and safety by enabling fast, hands-free attachment changes to keep operations running smoothly. Based out of Perth, Australia, Total...
Accurate and verifiable data provides a path to improving economics, optimizing resources, engaging stakeholders, and attracting talent. With a warming planet and unpredictable extreme weather events, all business leaders are faced with increasing and more complex challenges, costs, and regulatory oversight. Having access to accurate and verifiable real-time information about business impacts and activities is quickly becoming a necessity in navigating budgeting and...
Joins a growing number of mining companies leveraging Fleet Space's satellite-enabled and AI-powered mineral exploration technology. Toward its longstanding commitment to finding a better way to provide the minerals and metals the world needs, Rio Tinto is leveraging Fleet Space Technologies' satellite-enabled ExoSphere mineral exploration solution to gain greater insights into what lies below the surface at its Rincon lithium mine project in Argentina. "Rio Tinto and Fleet...
Tapping the massive underground resource will hinge on landowner royalty agreement. The promise of lithium beneath Arkansas and five neighboring states cannot be overstated. Arkansas' little corner of the Smackover Formation – a massive permeable limestone geological extending from Florida to Texas – was estimated earlier this month by the U.S. Geological Survey to host between five and 19 million tons of lithium reserves. With such a massive lithium discovery and big names ea...
Granite Creek assembles the catalyst-rich projects, scientific expertise to become a first mover in the geological hydrogen space. A belt of rocks spanning the Southeast Alaska Panhandle hosts at least a dozen prospects and deposits enriched with nickel, copper, and platinum group metals (PGM) needed for the energy transition. Could these projects also host hidden stores of geological hydrogen that could offer a clean-burning fuel for the 21st century? Granite Creek Copper...
Distinct particle shapes can regulate, improve performance in technologies that use light. Researchers at Curtin University have found that flat shapes in nanomaterials allow for improved molecular attachment – a discovery potentially leading to advancements in optoelectronics, which involve devices that either produce or use light to perform their functions. This includes a wide range of everyday technologies such as LEDs and TV screens, medical diagnostics and solar p...
Researchers merge light and sound on microchips, unlocking a new frontier in data processing, sensing, and communication. Microchips have always relied on electricity to process data, but what if they could harness sound instead? In a groundbreaking twist, researchers have managed to confine high-frequency sound waves to a chip's surface that ripple like a miniature earthquake – an unexpected breakthrough that could redefine everything from data processing to advanced sensing,...
Photovoltaic cells made from the right combination of materials could break through the limited potential of solar power. With today's common commercial and industrial solar cells converting sunlight into energy at a rate of 30-40% maximum, a 60% efficiency power conversion potential is groundbreaking. After 15 years of trial and error, a team of researchers at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in Spain has fabricated an intermediate band (IB) solar cell using gallium...
Pentagon-backed testing to demonstrate company's rare earths separation tech outperforms its antiquated predecessor. With the backing of the U.S. Department of Defense and the Canadian government, Ucore Rare Metals Inc. is making headway toward establishing a North American plant that will deliver a secure supply of the rare earth elements essential to a wide array of household goods, high-tech devices, military hardware, and clean energy technologies. Developing a technology...
