Jessica Hodge+FollowLithium from Water? This Tech is WildScientists just figured out how to pull lithium (the stuff that powers your phone and EV) straight out of water using a special clay membrane. This could mean cheaper electric cars, less reliance on foreign suppliers, and even cleaner drinking water for millions. Plus, the tech might help us recover other valuable metals and filter out nasty pollutants. Imagine getting crucial resources from places we never even thought to look! #Science #Innovation #Lithium60Share
Marisa Pope+FollowLithium Gold Rush: Albemarle’s Surprise WinAlbemarle, the big name behind the batteries in your phone and EV, just shocked Wall Street with a profit this quarter—even though lithium prices have tanked. The twist? Demand for electric rides and gadgets is still booming, so Albemarle sold more lithium, even if it’s cheaper. They’re tightening their belts by cutting jobs and pausing projects, but the company’s cash flow is looking up for 2025. If you’re eyeing battery stocks, keep an eye on this lithium rollercoaster! #Business #Market #lithium00Share
awaters+FollowWhy Your Next EV Depends on BoronEver wonder how the batteries in your phone or electric car get their power? Turns out, it’s not just about lithium—it’s also about boron! Scientists just found that boron, not salt, is the real boss in the salty pools where lithium is mined. This discovery could mean smarter, cleaner ways to get lithium, which is great news for anyone eyeing a future EV or greener gadgets. Next time you charge up, thank boron for the boost! #Lithium #EVs #CleanEnergy #Business00Share
James Brady+FollowLithium Extraction Just Got a Major Glow-UpDid you know extracting lithium (the stuff powering your phone and EV) is usually super wasteful and polluting? Penn State engineers just cracked a new method that pulls out over 99% of lithium from rocks in minutes—using way less energy and water, and ditching harsh chemicals. This could mean cheaper, greener batteries for everything we use! The process is patent-pending, but if it scales, our tech and the planet both win big. #TechInnovation #GreenEnergy #Lithium #Science10Share
Amber Stout+FollowIndigenous Voices in Chile's Lithium BoomChile's Indigenous Lickanantay communities are in talks with major miners Codelco and SQM to gain a say in lithium extraction plans. They aim to ensure ethical and environmentally-friendly extraction while being part of the country's development. The talks could set a new precedent for Indigenous involvement in the mining sector. #Lithium #IndigenousRights #SustainableMining #Chile30Share
