A new critical-metals hub in British Columbia's West Kootenay region is creating 10 new jobs while positioning local businesses to lead Canada's clean energy future. The $300,000 initiative will help companies turn recycled materials into high-value products needed for batteries and green technology.
An MIT spinoff just cracked the code on producing gallium domestically, tackling China's 99 percent control of a metal crucial to defense and semiconductors. Found Industries turned a supply chain problem into a national security solution.
Scientists can now vaporize old electronics at 3,000°C to extract gold, silver, and other precious metals without toxic waste. The process costs 13 times less than traditional mining and uses up to 500 times less energy.
Scientists discovered a never-before-seen metal alloy in tiny particles preserved in Hiroshima's beach sand, formed by the intense heat of the 1945 atomic blast. The find opens new doors for materials science and shows how extreme conditions can create materials impossible to make in laboratories.
Three metal detector hobbyists in Maryborough, Australia, tracked down a World War II veteran's family to return his dog tags after seven decades. The lost military identification had been buried and forgotten until the detectorists discovered them and made it their mission to reunite them with their rightful home.
A Korean company just cracked the code on recycling rare earth metals from discarded smartphones, motors, and drones. The breakthrough could help countries reduce their dependence on mining these critical materials.
Australian researchers built a tiny motor that spins using liquid metal flows instead of rigid parts, reaching 320 revolutions per minute. The breakthrough could revolutionize soft robotics and medical devices that need to bend, stretch, and move through tight spaces.
A California startup has invented a pollution-free way to refine rare earth metals using plasma reactors, potentially ending China's stranglehold on materials critical for electronics and clean energy. The breakthrough could reshape global supply chains while eliminating toxic waste.
Thrash metal legends Megadeth are ending their 40-year run on their own terms with a powerful self-titled final album. Frontman Dave Mustaine and his band prove they're still at the top of their game as they close this legendary chapter.
A Shanghai surgical team has developed the world's first metal-free knee implant that could transform care for aging patients worldwide. The breakthrough polymer device allows clearer medical scans and better cancer treatment than traditional metal joints.
Scientists just built a squad of AI agents that work together to extract valuable metals from dead batteries, turning electric vehicle waste into a domestic supply of critical materials. The breakthrough could eliminate millions in metal imports while slashing chemical waste.
Researchers discovered a way to change how metals conduct electricity by tweaking their atomic structure at incredibly tiny scales. This breakthrough could make our phones, computers, and future devices faster while using less energy.
Scientists built a simple metal plate that can capture and separate three different sound waves simultaneously, like a radio tuning into multiple stations at once. This breakthrough could make inspecting buildings and machines faster, cheaper, and more accurate.
Researchers discovered they can dramatically control how metals behave by adjusting their thickness by just a few nanometers. The breakthrough could transform everything from smartphones to quantum computers.
Physicists just achieved what sounds impossible: they showed tiny metal particles can exist in multiple places simultaneously, proving quantum mechanics works even on surprisingly large objects. This record-breaking experiment pushes the boundaries of what we thought possible in physics.
Scientists captured the first-ever measurements of swirling metal winds inside a massive cloud orbiting an unknown object 3,000 light-years away. The breakthrough reveals how planetary systems continue evolving billions of years after formation.
