Chile, known for its vast mineral resources, is making moves to solidify its position in the global lithium market. With a recent deal signed between Codelco and SQM, there are high hopes for the expansion of lithium production in the Salar de Atacama region. The partnership between Codelco, the world’s largest copper producer, and SQM,
In a groundbreaking study published in Science, Prof. Bozhi Tian’s lab has unveiled a cutting-edge prototype for “living bioelectronics” that combines living cells, gel, and electronics in a revolutionary new way. This innovative approach represents a significant leap forward in the integration of electronics with the human body, offering promising new possibilities for the future
The Geneva International Motor Show, a prestigious event in the automotive industry with a history spanning over a century, will no longer be held. The first show took place in 1905, attracting thousands of visitors. Despite facing challenges such as an economic crisis and World War I, the show resumed in 1923 and continued to
In a groundbreaking discovery by scientists at UC Riverside, a new process has been identified that could revolutionize the cleanup of “forever chemicals” in drinking water. These forever chemicals, known as PFAS, have been a growing concern due to their links to various health issues and the contamination of groundwater. With new federal standards in
Freshwater mussels play a crucial role in indicating the cleanliness of their environment as biomonitors. They have the ability to absorb contaminants from their surroundings, reflecting the state of their habitat. A recent study conducted by researchers from Penn State’s Department of Civil and Environment Engineering found alarming levels of radium in mussels downstream of
In a groundbreaking development at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), researchers have achieved a significant milestone in optical imaging technology. The newly developed all-optical complex field imager has the capability to capture both amplitude and phase information of optical fields without the need for digital processing. This innovation holds the promise of revolutionizing
Auxetic materials are a marvel of engineering, defying common sense with their unique properties. When stretched, these materials become wider and fatter, rather than narrower and thinner like conventional materials. This exceptional characteristic opens up a wide range of applications, from sneaker insoles to bomb-resistant buildings. The Challenge of Bringing Auxetic Products to Market Despite
In a groundbreaking study published in Science, researchers from the Paul-Drude-Institute for Solid State Electronics (PDI) in Berlin, Germany, and the Centro Atómico Bariloche and Instituto Balseiro (CAB-IB) in Argentina have observed a time crystal on a microscale semiconductor chip. This observation revealed exceptionally high non-linear dynamics in the GHz range, demonstrating a strong connection
