Rapid Flash Joule Heating Technique Unlocks Efficient Rare‑Earth Element Recovery From Electronic Waste
A team of researchers including Rice University’s James Tour and Shichen Xu has developed an ultrafast, one-step method to recover rare earth elements (REEs) from discarded magnets using an innovative approach that offers significant environmental and economic benefits over traditional recycling methods.
Responding to the Climate Impact of Generative AI
The energy demands of generative AI are expected to continue increasing dramatically over the next decade.
Study First to Show if Nesting Heat Affects Sea Turtle Hatchling ‘IQ’
As sand temperatures continue to rise, concerns about the future of sea turtles are growing. Hotter nests not only skew sex ratios – producing more females – but also reduce hatchling survival, slow growth, and increase the likelihood of physical deformities.
Scientists Successfully Recreate Wildfire-Induced Thunderstorms in Earth System Models for the First Time
The breakthrough enhances scientific understanding of the dangerous storms and their long-term impacts on the climate.
Researchers Discover Mechanism That Can Ramp Up Magnitude of Certain Earthquakes
In July 2024, a 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck Calama, Chile, damaging buildings and causing power outages.
