Lime is partnering with Redwood Materials to recycle batteries from its fleet of shared electric bikes and scooters. Redwood was founded in 2007 by JB Straubel, a co-founder of Tesla and close confidant to CEO Elon Musk, with an aim to address the anticipated soaring demand for materials needed to produce electric car batteries. As part of the deal, Lime will send batteries that have reached their end of life to Redwood’s facilities in Nevada, where it will determine how much of the battery—fro

The big picture: China has halted exports of critical rare earth metals and magnets essential to industries ranging from automotive manufacturing to aerospace and defense. The move, which has sent shockwaves through global supply chains, began earlier this month when China placed new export restrictions on these minerals. The suspension comes as Beijing drafts a new regulatory framework for issuing export licenses, a process expected to restrict access to these vital materials for specific comp

Deep-sea mining tech advances but doubts remain 10 hours ago Share Save Chris Baraniuk Technology Reporter Share Save Getty Images They don't look like much but these deep-sea nodules are rich in valuable metals There's one. And another. This robot was hunting for rocks. A three-pronged claw descended from above and plucked a stone off the seabed. All the while, the autonomous machine's on-board camera scanned for creatures that might be resting on those rocks, to avoid snatching an innocent

You've probably heard about the heavy metals that were detected in protein powder as reported by non-profit organization Clean Project Label. It tested 160 protein powders on the market and found that 47% exceeded California Proposition 65 safety thresholds for toxic metals. Its findings showed that plant-based protein powders had three times more lead than whey-based powders, and the chocolate flavors had four times more lead than vanilla. Organic versions also appeared to have three times more

Researchers have identified another great reason to drink tea: it naturally purifies water. Researchers from Northwestern University have found that tea leaves absorb certain harmful metals from water, such as lead and cadmium, preventing us from ingesting them. The researchers emphasize that tea leaves shouldn’t replace water filters, but their work sheds light on how this beloved drink is passively protecting our health. Their study, published Monday in the journal ACS Food Science & Technolo

As the clean energy economy expands, finding the minerals and metals that power it becomes increasingly critical. The answer might lie with artificial intelligence. Electric cars, solar panels and hydrogen fuel cells all have one thing in common: the need for precious metals. Historically, that's required going through the arduous process of finding the metals and then getting them out of the ground. But new technologies from a slew of companies might be changing the game. Kobold Metals, VerA
