Researchers have identified a new physicochemical principle governing liquid–liquid phase separation in polymer solutions.

New solvent-based method extracts lithium faster and cleaner from brines, cutting water use and unlocking hard-to-tap ...

As the demand for lithium-ion batteries escalates with the proliferation of mobile phone, electric vehicles and even pacemakers, key components in these powerhouses, like cobalt, face significant ...

Using an integrated analytical framework that separates surface flow, subsurface flow, and baseflow, the team quantified how each pathway contributes unevenly to nitrogen export. Their findings show ...

Rare earth elements are vital to new technologies and industry but hard to obtain. A new project led by UC Davis and funded by a grant from ARPA-E aims to develop acid-tolerant bacteria that can ...

Nuclear fusion reactors, if and when they become practical, will need a steady supply of fuel. The source of that fuel is the uncommon lithium isotope lithium-6. And the established process to obtain ...

ABSTRACT: Due to the colonial partition, many rivers in Africa are transboundary rivers shared by several riparian countries. Transboundary rivers in Africa have serious river basin management ...

Nanomembranes are a type of nanomaterial with ultra-thin structures at the nanometer scale and lateral dimensions that can extend to millimeters or even centimeters. These membranes are strong enough ...
