Scientists at the Argonne National Laboratory, in collaboration with the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago, have developed a new membrane technology designed for efficient lithium extraction from seawater and underground saltwater reserves. The membrane utilizes vermiculite clay, a widely available and inexpensive material that costsContinue Reading
Have I mentioned lately that the U.S. no longer has functional federal consumer protection and corporate oversight thanks to Traitor 47? And how that should probably be more of a story across journalism? Last fall you might recall that the FTC created a popular new rule that barred corporations fromContinue Reading

Ice in deep space, such as on Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus, may be partly crystalline based on new research. (Image credit: NASA/JPL) Water ice is everywhere in space, from frozen moons to frosty dust grains in interstellar clouds. However, researchers at University College London (UCL) and the University of Cambridge have recently discovered that iceContinue Reading
(Image credit: NASA DART Team and LICIACube) When NASA’s DART mission crashed into the asteroid Dimorphos, the first stage of the impact saw the spacecraft’s solar panels strike and pulverize two large boulders on the target, debris from which spun off in two directions. That ejection created enough momentum to give Dimorphos an extra kickContinue Reading
