Researchers estimated that dormant smartphones in Norway exceeded 10 million devices by 2024, substantially outnumbering the 6.8 million phones still in use. Across three analyzed components, active and dormant devices held about 80 tonnes of critical raw materials, although current recycling systems struggle to recover their rare-earth elements.

Catalyst performance is central to efficiency, selectivity, and process reliability in the chemical and catalyst industries.

The FieldServer Modbus IoT Gateway from MSA Safety enables seamless connectivity between Modbus devices and IIoT, enhancing operational efficiency and security.

Modeling suggests that overlooking lithium, cobalt, and nickel constraints could overestimate China’s EV ownership by 42% in 2060 while underestimating cumulative CO2 emissions by 57% and transition costs by 6%. Recycling and lower-cobalt batteries could ease supply pressures, but net-zero transport would still require carbon-neutral or negative-emissions electricity or carbon r...
