The U.S. Department of the Interior said Tuesday that it’s beginning the process of selling deep-sea mining leases after a request from startup Impossible Metals. The agency said the process would “evaluate a potential mineral lease sale in the waters offshore American Samoa.” The administrative procedure requires a publication in the federal register and the solicitation of public feedback before considering any sales. Given the tone of the Secretary of the Interior’s statement on the matter,

Just one of the 230 million iPhones that Apple makes every year. Kerry Wan/ZDNET Could your next iPhone have "Made in America" laser-engraved on the back? Don't hold your breath. President Donald Trump's administration has again raised the idea that iPhone production could shift from China and India to the US. "Remember the army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in little screws to make iPhones?" US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick said last April. "That kind of thing is g

As the trade war between China and the United States continues to escalate, Beijing is responding by turning to one of its favorite retaliation tactics: limiting the export of critical minerals used in many high-tech electronics, from fighter jets to wind turbines. While China’s mineral restrictions may sound scary, the reality is that they haven’t been very effective in the past and stand to become even less so if the US and other countries finally get their acts together. It all started in Ju

Over the past 13 years, the four-wheeled Curiosity rover has traveled approximately 21 miles (34 kilometers) across the Martian surface to gather clues about the possibility of ancient life on the Red Planet. A recent discovery by the metallic explorer could provide an answer to the longstanding question of what happened to Mars’ atmosphere billions of years ago, and how the planet may have transformed from a wet, life-friendly world to a dry and arid desert. The Curiosity rover recently uncove

This story was produced by Grist and copublished with Wired. It was supported by the Pulitzer Center. Greenland’s massive cap of ice, containing enough fresh water to raise sea levels by 23 feet, is in serious trouble. Between 2002 and 2023, Greenland lost 270 billion tons of frozen water each year as winter snowfall failed to compensate for ever-fiercer summer temperatures. That's a significant contributor of sea level rise globally, which is now at a quarter of an inch a year. But underneath

The latest evidence suggests that Mars used to be a wet world covered in oceans, with astronomers uncovering not just icy remnants of this period, but signs of entire reservoirs of liquid water still lurking beneath the planet's arid surface. But we're still far from having a complete picture of what the Martian climate looked like billions of years ago, before these oceans dried up. Now, however, the chance discovery of pale yet unremarkable looking rocks by NASA's Perseverance rover suggest

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

Of all the planet-warming greenhouse gases human activity releases into the atmosphere, carbon dioxide is the most significant emission. As such, experts have suggested that, in addition to drastically lowering our fossil fuel use, we should actively remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. What’s known as carbon capture technology, however, is usually expensive and/or energy-intensive, and necessitates carbon storage solutions. Now, researchers at Stanford University have proposed a su
