Betavoltaic batteries can power a variety of devices, from aerospace and robots to your future smartphone, for up to a century with no recharging.

Efficient solar energy, here we come.

An area known as Thacker Pass on the Nevada-Oregon border is home to clay that contain tens of millions of tons of lithium.

A more sustainable approach to the Kolbe reaction could reduce chemists' reliance on oil-derived materials

Doesn't "organometallic sandwich" sound appetizing?

A team of scientists recently published a paper indicating that life on Earth is the result of what can only accurately be described as cosmic teleportation. Humankind has long sought ...

Setting up a mine to extract the massive deposit of lithium will require a wholly new process to separate the metal from its natural clay deposit.

A team of chemists and material scientists at the University of Tokyo has developed a new class of interlocking supramolecular systems by combining metal-organic frameworks with rotaxanes. In their study, reported in the journal Nature Communications, the group combined the two structures and found possible uses for the results.

An international team of researchers has uncovered what might be a critical step in the chemical evolution of molecules in cosmic "stellar nurseries." In these vast clouds of cold gas and dust in space, trillions of molecules swirl together over millions of years. The collapse of these interstellar clouds eventually gives rise to young stars and planets.

The price of lithium-ion battery cells, typically the costliest part of an EV, has declined more than 30% since March 2022.
