If you are intimidated by the periodic table, then this introduction through the first column of elements will give you a feel for how and why the elements are arranged in this order.
Until we cut consumption, we will only shift problems from one natural resource to another.
A year ago, the world’s largest lithium-ion battery began dispatching power to South Australia’s grid. It has been a remarkable success but there are some concerns that have so far escaped scrutiny
Electric cars might be a quick fix to clean up transport, but the problems with cars go beyond just emissions.
A new rechargeable ‘proton battery’ - made chiefly from carbon and water - promises to outperform conventional lithium-ion batteries, while also being more environmentally friendly.
The fossil fuel era won’t last forever. And a new set of countries will find their reserves of lithium, copper and rare earth metals are in high demand.
Lithium is present naturally in many water systems and was once considered an elixir. It has long been used to treat bipolar disorder, but researchers have also started exploring its role in dementia.
In the decades ahead, our mineral supply will still need to double or triple to meet the demand for electric vehicles and other renewable energy technology.
We need to think about the raw materials of batteries – where they come from and their environmental cost.
New lithium stores in Cornwall could give the UK a valuable domestic supply of the expensive commodity.
Alternative technologies are already leaving Tesla’s batteries in the slow lane.
They may be single-celled organisms, but as our distant cousins amoeba can tell us a lot about ourselves.
If Australia investments in technology to recycle and lease lithium, it could capitalise on its increasing use in batteries.
Everyone wants a better battery for longer run-time on electronics and driving range for EVs. What’s the most likely successor to today’s lithium-ion batteries?
The advent of battery storage heralds an even deeper embrace of electric cars and renewable energy. But amid the green tech revolution, we should be wary of creating new pollution problems.
Lithium-ion is currently the leading battery technology for home installation, but others are just over the horizon that might be even better.
On October 27, the last international troops closed their military camp in Southern Helmand Province and left Afghanistan, officially ending their combat role after 13 years of fighting. By the end of…
The history of Australian medical research is an unabashed good news story: it’s led to many astounding yet common medical treatments and to better understanding of disease. In fact, as a society we benefit…
A chemical process has been discovered which allows white sulfur to be transformed into a lightweight plastic that could…
