Chinese manufacturer XCMG has secured a record-breaking deal to supply over 200 of its 240-tonne electric haul trucks to Australian mining company Fortescue, marking the largest EV deal and export order for green mining machinery, significantly advancing decarbonization efforts in the mining industry.
Scientists at Penn State have discovered a new mechanism by which bacteria can select between different rare earth elements, which could revolutionize the entire tech sector by fundamentally changing how critical minerals like rare earths are harvested and purified. By figuring out how this molecular handshake works at the atomic level, the researchers have found a way to separate these similar metals from one another quickly, efficiently, and under normal room temperature conditions. This strategy could lead to more efficient, greener mining and recycling practices for the entire tech sector.
