Water-Based Method Recovers 65% Of EV Battery Metals In One Minute At Room Temperature
Authored by Neetika Walter via Interesting Engineering,
Researchers at Rice University have developed a water-based method that recovers valuable metals from spent lithium-ion batteries in minutes, offering a faster and lower-energy alternative to conventional recycling systems.
The new process targets key battery materials including lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese, which are in growing demand as electric vehicle and electronics production expands worldwide.
Battery recycling is becoming increasingly important as mineral supply chains tighten and nations seek to reduce dependence...

Taiwan Tech Insiders Warn Beijing's Germanium Squeeze Is Hitting Production
Taiwan Tech Insiders Warn Beijing's Germanium Squeeze Is Hitting Production
Nikkei Asia reports that China is restricting or delaying exports of germanium- and quartz-based materials to Taiwan, creating "painful supply-chain bottlenecks" across the island's key aerospace, semiconductor, and optical companies.
The supply disruptions reinforce the urgent need for the US and its allies to accelerate supply-chain decoupling and secure alternative sources of critical materials. Beijing's ability to weaponize shipments could prove devastating during a military conflict or allow China to slow Western semiconductor and AI infrastructure buildouts while its domestic AI...

Vistra In Line For $4 Billion Nuclear Loan As Washington’s Lending Spree Continues
The Trump administration plans to offer Vistra roughly $4 billion in loans to uprate an additional 433 MW from its Perry and Davis-Besse plants in Ohio and Beaver Valley in Pennsylvania, Bloomberg reported Friday. Energy Secretary Chris Wright could announce the package Monday during a visit to the Perry plant.
Earlier this year, Meta signed a deal with Vistra for electricity from the same three power plants. The 20-year power purchase agreements (PPAs) cover 2,176 MW of existing...
