Forge Nano, Inc., a leading U.S. based semiconductor equipment and advanced materials company pioneering Atomic Layer Deposition ("ALD") technology for artificial intelligence ("AI")-era chip manufacturing and defense battery applications, which has signed an agreement to merge with Archimedes Tech SPAC Partners II Co. ("Archimedes II"), today announced a strategic partnership with Samsung SDI.
A century-long legal and historical analysis shows that critical minerals are defined not only by scarcity but by shifting claims about security, trade, industrial power, and geopolitical control. The paper argues that today’s critical minerals rush is less a simple climate-transition story than a contest over US hegemony, extractive markets, supply chains, and the future of international cooperation.
For more than 30 years, a record in science held firm: minus 220 degrees Fahrenheit.
Researchers developed a voltage-directed method to synthesize alginate-based ionic nanogels inside solid-state nanopores for salinity-gradient energy harvesting. The system achieved a pore-area-normalized osmotic power density of 213 kW/m², while multipore arrays showed promise for scalable blue-energy membranes.
This paper argues that the net-zero transition will require major new investment in energy transition minerals, but supply will remain constrained by financing gaps, geopolitical concentration, demand uncertainty, and ESG risks. It calls for responsible mining, sustainable finance, green premiums, and circular economy strategies to secure mineral supplies while reducing environmental and social harm.
When the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the Genesis Mission last fall, researchers at the DOE’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory were poised to jump on board the national effort to accelerate scientific and technological discovery through artificial intelligence.
Delta Electronics, a global leader in power management and smart green solutions, today announced a microgrid system at its own Detroit-area facility, developed in partnership with DTE Energy and through the seamless integration of its smart energy solutions.
Rising heat and humidity are narrowing the environmental window in which data centers can rely on direct air-side free cooling without active humidity control. The study found growing out-of-spec hours across major data center regions, with tropical markets and parts of the southeastern United States facing the strongest constraints.
Researchers identified galvanic corrosion between deposited zinc and current collectors as a major, previously underappreciated cause of irreversible zinc loss in anode-less aqueous zinc batteries. A PVDF/CeF3 hybrid interface suppressed corrosion, guided dense zinc deposition, and enabled longer cycling, lower self-discharge, and pouch-cell energy densities exceeding 90 Wh L?¹.
Researchers have developed a solar driven catalyst material that harnesses the energy of a single photon to reduce carbon dioxide and oxidize organic waste at the same time, and produce valuable chemicals in both reactions.
