Oversold Lithium could be about to rally

Green Car Congress

Last year’s 12 percent slide by the Bloomberg Commodity Index —spurred by 20 percent-plus declines by industrial bellwethers like West Texas Intermediate crude, steel and platinum—came in the wake of two years of modest gains. Link to article: [link].

GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

This research article focuses on a highly favored route to the synthesis of controlled nanostructures at high rate, high yield, and low cost by molten carbonate electrolysis. The addition of Zn, such as occurs in a coating on galvanized steel, further lowers the activation energy for CNT formation.

Mattershift scales up CNT membranes; potential for zero-carbon fuels for less than fossil

Green Car Congress

For 20 years, researchers have shown that CNT membranes offer tremendous promise for a wide variety of uses including the low-cost production of ethanol fuel, precision drug delivery, low-energy desalination of seawater, purification of pharmaceutical compounds, and high-performance catalysis for the production of fuels.

How Ted Hoff Invented the First Microprocessor

Cars That Think

This article was first published as “Marcian E Hoff.” Busicom had hired Intel to develop a set of custom chips for a low-cost calculator and had sent three engineers to Santa Clara to work on the chip designs. San Antonio, Texas, which, architected by Computer Terminals, was named the 8008. You’re crazy.”
