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 ...

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 ...

Since ancient times, humans have extracted salts, like table salt, from the ocean. While table salt is the easiest to obtain, seawater is a rich source of different minerals, and researchers are ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
