Our technology loses a lot of energy as heat. For computing technology, the heat isn’t only a problem because the energy is ...

Toronto-based Cyclic Materials, a metals recycling company targeting rare earth elements (REEs) and other critical metals, has signed a multiyear offtake agreement with Glencore. Through the agreement ...

A promising solution relies on materials that capture heavy metal atoms, such as copper ions, from wastewater through a separation process called adsorption. But commercially available ...

Copper is one of the most widely used metals, but extracting and refining it into a useful form can be energy intensive and requires harsh chemical treatments. But now, researchers at the University ...

For more than a century it has been recognized as one of the best heat conductors in nature, and this property made copper ...

A team of scientists has designed a new material -- called ZIOS (zinc imidazole salicylaldoxime) -- that targets and traps copper ions from wastewater with unprecedented precision and speed. The ...

Two-dimensional metal borides have long been predicted to possess exceptional properties but have remained experimentally inaccessible due to the lack of a viable synthesis method. Northwestern ...

As OPN Architects, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, set out to design a new library for the residents of Moline, Ill., they acknowledged the library as an institution has evolved from a traditional space reserved ...
