18-08-23 Ganfeng Lithium of China has joined forces with Lithium Americas of Canada to cooperate in opening a lithium mine in Argentina. 中国赣锋锂业与加拿大美洲锂业将合作在阿根廷开采锂矿。 The Cauchari-Olaroz project will see the chemical extracted from bri...

18-08-07 Chinese astronomers have discovered the most lithium-rich giant star ever known, which could shed new light on the evolution of the universe. 中国天文学家发现目前已知最富锂的巨星，这可能对宇宙的进化带来新的见解。 With 3,000 times more lithium than a...

16-05-06 Rechargeable lithium air batteries are a next-generation technology: Theoretically they might be much lighter and offer better performance than current lithium ion batteries. However, currently they run out of steam after only a few charging cycles....

16-01-14 Stanford researchers have developed the first lithium-ion battery that shuts down before overheating, then restarts immediately when the temperature cools. The new technology could prevent the kind of fires that have prompted recalls and bans on a w...

15-07-30 The chemical element lithium has been found for the first time in material ejected by a nova. Observations of Nova Centauri 2013 made using telescopes at ESO's La Silla Observatory, and near Santiago in Chile, help to explain the mystery of why many...

15-04-29 What happens when lithium-ion batteries overheat and explode has been tracked inside and out for the first time by a UCL-led team using sophisticated 3D imaging. Understanding how Li-ion batteries fail and potentially cause a dangerous chain reactio...

15-02-25 Dendrites -- the microscopic, pin-like fibers that cause rechargeable batteries to short circuit -- create fire hazards and can limit the ability of batteries to power our smart phones and store renewable energy for a rainy day. Now a new electrolyt...

14-10-30 Experiments on the DIII-D tokamak that General Atomics operates for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) have demonstrated the ability of lithium injections to transiently double the temperature and pressure at the edge of the plasma and delay the on...
