Mining Gold Organically Out From Waste Electronic Components

April 4, 2024 | Leave a Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… ETH Zurich researchers have recovered gold from electronic waste. Their highly sustainable new method is based on a protein fibril sponge, which the scientists derive from whey, a food industry byproduct. The researchers demonstrated this in their paper that has been published in the journal Advanced Materials. Transforming base materials into gold was one […]

A New Simple Metal Alloy Found to Be the Toughest Material

December 27, 2022 | Leave a Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Lawrence Berkeley National Lab scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded of any material. The discovery came while investigating a metallic alloy made of chromium, cobalt, and nickel. Not only is the metal exceptionally strong and ductile, its properties become enhanced as it gets colder. This runs counter to most other materials in […]
