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
