Around 5,000 years ago, people in what is now Iran began turning dull stone into shining metal. By heating copper ore until it melted, they learned to pull liquid metal from rock, a skill that helped ...

A major breakthrough in battery science reveals why promising single-crystal lithium-ion batteries haven’t lived up to ...

A gustnado may look like a tornado, but it’s a different weather phenomenon. Learn what a gustnado is, how it forms, and why it’s usually weaker.

Scientists have discovered a fern from South China that naturally forms tiny crystals containing rare earth elements (REEs). This breakthrough opens the door to a promising new way of "green mining" ...

Primordial nucleosynthesis during the early universe generated hydrogen, helium, and minor lithium-7 before the cosmos cooled, halting further fusion. Stellar interiors synthesize elements up to iron ...

All the world’s discarded phones, bricked laptops, and other trashed electronics are collectively a treasure trove of rare earth elements (REEs). But separating out and recovering these increasingly ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are using the 88-Inch Cyclotron to help steady the famous periodic table of elements one atom at a time where it's gone a ...

Rare earth elements sustain the Information Age, and securing a supply of these metals has become a matter of national and economic security. They’re ubiquitous in our smart technologies, high ...

After securing approvals in the U.K. and Europe early last year, Element Science has now claimed a green light from the FDA for its wearable defibrillator patch, offering a non-invasive option for ...
