A groundbreaking method of recycling electronic waste could revolutionize the extraction of precious metals for green technologies. Gisele Azimi, a professor at the University of Toronto and an expert ...

See how NC State Scientists are using plants to clean up mining waste while also extracting rare, valuable metals.

Copper smelting - a critical process in metal production - often generates slag, which contains valuable metals. This slag has historically been thrown away, causing harm to the environment and ...

Lithium Universe will deploy and sub‑license the technology globally as part of its expanding precious metals recycling strategy.

A new study led by researchers in Canada introduces a novel process for the extraction and separation of metals from spent alkaline batteries, offering a promising solution for efficient recycling of ...

Scientists develop an electrocapillary method to selectively separate metals from liquid alloys using surface energy differences, opening a new path in metal purification. (Nanowerk News) A team of ...

The heaviest known elements are the so-called "superheavy" elements, those with atomic numbers greater than 103. These elements are found only in laboratories, where they are made by fusing together ...

The use of renewable energy systems, such as solar panels, wind turbines, electric cars and hydrogen fuel cells, will minimize greenhouse gas emissions and reduce global warming. But use of these ...
