New generation of superconductors use high entropy alloys

In a recent Science Daily article, Japanese researchers presented the first of a new generation of superconductors. These highly-conductive materials incorporate a high-entropy alloy made from not just one or two or even three, but five separate rare earth metals (REMs). The researchers combined layers of bismuth sulfide (BiS2) superconductor with high-entropy REM alloy oxyfluoride. […]

New biochemical leaching process uses corn stover to recover rare earth metals from electronic waste

A study has determined that aside from being used as fodder or bedding, corn stover can be used as feedstock for a new biochemical leaching process. This revolutionary process helps recover valuable rare earth metals from electronic waste. The biochemical leaching process is similar to a mining process and it requires the use of corn stover. […]
