Nevada’s arid climate and proximity to a potential lithium supply chain are primary reasons why San Jose-based Lyten chose Northern Nevada for its planned lithium sulfur battery manufacturing gigafactory, said Celina Mikolajczak, Lyten’s chief battery technology officer. “I fell in love with Reno a long time ago,” Mikolajczak said. “The developing battery ecosystem is great, […]

The US Department of Energy finalized a $2.26 billion loan for Lithium Americas on Monday to build Nevada’s Thacker Pass lithium mine, one of Washington’s largest mining industry investments and part of a broader push to boost critical minerals production. The loan, provisionally approved in March, is a key part of US President Joe Biden’s […]

A research team led by Professor Bonghoon Kim from DGIST’s Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering has developed a “3D smart energy device” that features both reversible heating and cooling capabilities. Their device was recognized for its excellence and practicality through its selection as the cover article of the international journal Advanced Materials. The team collaborated with Professor […]

Anthro Energy just secured a $24.9 million grant from the US Department of Energy to help bolster the domestic battery supply chain – a move that will have a big impact on US EV production. The Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains grant is part of the DOE’s push to modernize US infrastructure and […]

An enormous lithium mine in the Nevada desert has been granted final government approval, the company that has the concession said Thursday, in a project it predicts will quadruple US production of a mineral critical to the renewable energy revolution. Operations at Rhyolite Ridge will produce enough lithium to supply the batteries for more than […]

The US Interior Department on Thursday gave final approval to ioneer’s Rhyolite Ridge lithium mine in Nevada, the first domestic source of the battery metal to be permitted by President Joe Biden’s administration and one that will become a key supplier to Ford and other electric vehicle manufacturers. Shares of the Australia-based critical minerals miner […]

A new study led by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) found a large amount of lithium reserves in southwestern Arkansas that could help meet rising demand for lithium in electric vehicle car batteries. USGS worked with the Arkansas Department of Energy and the Environment’s Office of the State Geologist to examine a geological unit known […]

Researchers said in a recent article that Arkansas may have 19 million tons of lithium, which is used in rechargeable batteries for important products like phones and electric cars. The researchers said in their article released last month in the journal Science Advances they had “calculated that there are 5.1 to 19 million tons of […]

Smartwatches are packed with so many helpful features that allow you to access convenient, on-the-go notifications, fitness tracking essentials and your favorite apps. But these can quickly drain your battery — not ideal when you’re training or away from home. Fortunately, there are ways to boost the juice you get on many of the best […]
