- Chemical Process Produces Critical Battery Metals With No Waste July 8, 2025Olivine is a rather unassuming rock. Olive brown to yellow green in color, this hard yet brittle mineral is thought to be the most abundant in Earth’s upper mantle. Chemically, olivine is magnesium iron silicate, though it contains other elements too. Economically, it’s close to worthless. Its limited industrial utility stretches to gemstones, metalworking, ceramics, […]Laurie Winkless
- Citizen Scientists Help Confirm Distant Exoplanet July 6, 2025Distant exoplanets can be dodgy to spot even in the best of observations. Despite the challenges, a team of astronomers just reported the discovery of a gas giant exoplanet that lies about 400 light-years from Earth. It’s called TOI-4465 b and it takes 12 hours to transit across the face of its star during its […]Carolyn Collins Petersen
