‘Game Changer’ in Lithium Extraction: Rice Researchers Develop Novel Electrochemical Reactor
A team of Rice University researchers led by Lisa Biswal and Haotian Wang has developed an innovative electrochemical reactor to extract lithium from natural brine solutions, offering a promising approach to address the growing demand for lithium used in rechargeable batteries.
Extreme Weather Accelerates Nitrate Pollution in Groundwater
Extreme weather spurred by climate change, including droughts and heavy rains, may increase the risk of nitrates from fertilizers ending up in groundwater, according to a recent study from researchers at the University of California, Davis.
New Species Discovered with Refined DNA Technology
Sometimes plants are so similar to each other that the methods developed by 18th century scientist Carl Linnaeus for identifying species are not enough.
Machine Learning Predicts Highest-Risk Groundwater Sites to Improve Water Quality Monitoring
An interdisciplinary team of researchers has developed a machine learning framework that uses limited water quality samples to predict which inorganic pollutants are likely to be present in a groundwater supply.
