Richard Vaughan+FollowNew Tech Pulls Lithium Straight from SaltwaterDid you know scientists just invented a membrane that can filter lithium out of salt water? This could totally change how we get the metal that powers our phone and EV batteries—without trashing the environment like old-school mining. The best part? It’s scalable and could make clean energy tech way more sustainable (and cheaper). Imagine a future where our oceans help fuel our gadgets and cars! Would you be down for ocean-powered batteries? #CleanEnergy #Innovation #Sustainability #TechNews #EVs #Science41Share
Susan Moreno+FollowWhy Northvolt's $15B Flop Is a Wake-Up CallHeard about Northvolt's $15 billion belly flop?
