And the method described in a paper released on Monday seems to offer it all: more metal per ore, much lower cost, and far less worry about mining waste. Many of the best rare earth deposits occur ...

Unlike conventional methods where ores are reduced using carbon, which results in carbon-contaminated metals, the team's new method uses hydrogen as the reducing agent. "Using hydrogen instead of ...

Max Planck scientists design a process that merges metal extraction, alloying and processing into one single, eco-friendly step. Their results are now published in the journal Nature. The ...
