New “Atlas” Will Catalog Proteins That Bind to Rare Earth Elements

8 min read

Bioprospecting Tool Could Boost Critical Mineral Refining By Anna Squires Throughout the 1800s, naturalists journeyed to far-flung corners of the world to catalog birds, mammals, minerals, and plants. Now, a team of U.S. researchers is assembling a catalog of their own: an atlas of naturally occurring proteins capable of binding … [continued]

An Energy Research & Social Science paper crossed my screen recently that put structure around something visible to anyone who has compared nuclear forecasts with build rates. Nuclear power has been projected to grow faster, cheaper and more broadly than it actually has, not once or twice, but across decades, … [continued]

Canada’s federal government has finally put electricity where it belongs: at the centre of the national economy. That is the most important thing about Mark Carney’s newly announced National Electricity Strategy. This is not just a climate file. It is an industrial strategy, an affordability strategy, a trade strategy, a … [continued]

Hydrogen Transportation After HVS: Narrow Niches, Big Subsidies, Long Pilots

14 min read

HVS was not a fringe hydrogen truck company with a sketch and a slogan. It had a serious ambition, a real engineering team, public support, private funding, partnerships, prototypes, and a target market that sounded plausible enough: zero-emission heavy-duty freight. Hydrogen Vehicle Systems wanted to build fuel-cell trucks for a … [continued]
