A simple laboratory experiment at the University of Michigan has revealed an unexpected way to extract lithium from brines long dismissed as uneconomical. The discovery could unlock vast lithium ...

Magnesium could be extracted from the ocean in a process being developed at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to provide lightweight metal to reduce fuel use in cars and planes. The Department of ...

Artwork created by students at the Monash Suzhou Research Institute symbolising the technology's innovative extraction of both lithium and magnesium. Demand for lithium - critical to powering ...

Scientists have made an accidental breakthrough using charged membranes to extract lithium from magnesium-rich brines more ...

New research shows that magnesium and other metals in mine waste can be solubilized and recovered thanks to acid-producing bacteria. Researcher Nathan van Wyk believes that the method has great ...

Tiny, disordered particles of magnesium chromium oxide may hold the key to new magnesium battery energy storage technology, which could possess increased capacity compared to conventional lithium-ion ...

Historically, lithium has been produced using two approaches: hard rock mining of spodumene deposits, as seen at the ...

Into each of the 500-odd warplanes produced in the U.S. last week went many times as much magnesium as the total U.S. production of this soft, silvery metal in 1914. And thereby hangs a tale: > Of how ...
