Lithium fluoride (LiF) crystals host point defects known as colour centres, which form when ionising radiation displaces fluorine ions and creates vacancy aggregates. Under optical excitation, these ...
In a study published in Optics Express, a research group led by Prof. Fu Yuxi from Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics (XIOPM) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed the first ...
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are primarily thought of as environmental pollutants, and most research on them focuses on removing them from the environment. Rice researcher ...
Most research on “forever chemicals” focuses on how best to remove them from the environment. But solutions to tricky problems often emerge from the most unexpected of places—as demonstrated by a new ...

MIT researchers find a room-temperature way to pull lithium from hard rock at half the cost
The solvent and reagent could be recovered and reused in a closed loop.
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have gained widespread popularity as energy storage solutions. However, safety concerns—particularly the risk of thermal runaway—have become a significant obstacle to ...
Cornell scientists developed an electrochemical bath that restores spent lithium-ion batteries to 95% capacity, reducing ...
Lithium is a critical mineral used in batteries for electric vehicles, grid storage, and a host of personal electronics. It is also relatively scarce, so being able to efficiently isolate it from ...
