Researchers developed a multi-phase machine-learning framework to rapidly predict electronic band gaps and screen oxide perovskites for potential photovoltaic applications. Starting from more than half a million candidate structures, the approach progressively narrowed the search to a small group of band-gap-compatible compositions that now require higher-level computational and...

Western Australia increased hard-rock lithium production tenfold between 2010 and 2024, supplying 37% of global lithium production as major projects combined large resources, rapid development, financing, and established mining infrastructure. The study found that project quality, scale, market conditions, and regional capability shaped commercial performance, while domestic lit...

In partnership with A.J. Tuck Company, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a new manufacturing approach that could simplify production of critical components for advanced nuclear reactors and other energy and defense applications.

A new purple cooling fabric developed by Chinese and Australian researchers could help people stay cooler during scorching summer days without having to resort to wearing white.

Nathalie Blanchard and Anne-Sophie Poulin-Girard's SPIE honors highlight ABB's leadership in optical technology and their role in inspiring the next generation.
