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 new artificial intelligence (AI) tool could make it much easier to discover better materials for clean energy technologies.

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 ...

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

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 ...

Delivering nearly three times the heat conduction of copper, this discovery could ease one of the biggest bottlenecks in ...

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 ...
