Scientists believe they’ve found a window into the dawn of time on Earth, and it’s hidden beneath the Pacific Ocean. A team led by geophysicist Simon Lamb, of the University of Wellington and scientist Cornel de Ronde, of GNS Science, said the key to our past lies in a remoteContinue Reading
Cracking the carbon code Graphite, a crystalline form of carbon, is a critical ingredient in EV battery anodes, but it comes with some baggage. Most graphite is made from fossil fuels, and what’s worse, the vast majority of it comes from China, and establishing reliable sources of supply elsewhere isContinue Reading
