Exxon’s lithium operation in Arkansas will likely experiment with a yet unproven lithium extraction method. If successful, this environmentally friendly method could turn Arkansas into a main domestic ...

The solvent and reagent could be recovered and reused in a closed loop.

Emerging research suggests it may be easier to use fusion as a power source if liquid lithium is applied to the internal walls of the device housing the plasma. Past experiments studied solid lithium ...

Brittle, microscopic structures called dendrites form in lithium-ion batteries and can disrupt battery performance. Unlike bulk lithium, which is pliant and supple, dendrites fracture under stress.

Emerging research suggests it may be easier to use fusion as a power source if liquid lithium is applied to the internal walls of the device housing the fusion plasma. Plasma, the fourth state of ...

This view of the inside of LTX-β shows what the donut-shaped plasma containment device looks like after the lithium has been cleaned off the shell walls and several ports were opened. PPPL Staff ...
