Penn State Researchers Suggest Bacteria Could Ease Rare Earths Mining

Rare earth metal mining and processing is incredibly complex. Rare earths rarely occur in large concentrations, instead arising in scattered deposits across the crust. Furthermore, they are often deposited alongside radioactive elements, including thorium and uranium, making it extremely expensive to pull them from the earth and safely separate them from their radioactive companions. This process is so difficult that only one country, China, has the expertise and technology to process rare earth metals such as neodymium, cerium and yttrium in bulk. Mining and processing rare earth metals also has a variety of negative environmental effects that most countries aren’t…

Technology Helping Search for Better Fertilizers

The development of modern fertilizers revolutionized food production around the world and allowed farmers to produce higher quality food in larger amounts. With the world population experiencing a boom in the early 1900s when fertilizers debuted, their invention played a significant role in supporting the growing population on limited farmland. Calcium nitrate was the first-ever synthetic nitrogen fertilizer, developed in 1903 from nitric acid through the electric arc process. The Haber-Bosch process, developed by Fritz Haber in the early 1900s, allowed scientists to manufacture ammonia and deliver high levels of nitrogen to growing plants. Over the following years, scientists developed…

Heat Wave in East Asia Triggers Spike in Coal Use

East Asian nations have cranked up their use of coal in energy generation amid an unexpected heat wave that forced them to increase their energy production. South Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan are expected to increase coal use in their electricity generation as soaring temperatures increase power use by both households and businesses. Asia has experienced record-breaking levels of heat for the past several months, with monitoring stations in Myanmar, Thailand, China, Laos and South Asia reporting record heat levels in April. The region has seen such high temperatures that schools were forced to close and authorities in some regions…
