Geologists discover new path to rare earth mineral formation; implications for green energy and tech industries

Green Car Congress

Vegetation appears red, grassland is light brown, rocks are black, and water surfaces are green. By considering how water containing REEs interacted with calcite, a mineral that is ubiquitous in nature and often present in hydrothermal environments, the team discovered a new pathway by which bastnäsite formed.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Most of the activity is in Europe , where there are at least 10 major offshore wind and hydrogen projects , including demonstration systems being built or planned in the North Sea, the Atlantic, and off the coast of Ireland. The technology to produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water has been around for more than 200 years.

Will AI Steal Submarines’ Stealth?

Cars That Think

Rose Gottemoeller , former deputy secretary general of NATO, warns that “the stealth of submarines will be difficult to sustain, as sensing of all kinds, in multiple spectra, in and out of the water becomes more ubiquitous.” Lidar sensors transmit laser pulses through the water to produce highly accurate 3D scans of objects.

Powering Offshore Wind Farms With Numerical Modeling of Subsea Cables

Cars That Think

The message above was sent through the first transatlantic telegraph cable between Newfoundland and Ireland, way back in 1858. million km of submarine cables (Figure 1) in service, ranging from a short 131 km cable between Ireland and the U.K. We know what the world of submarine cables looks like today, but what about the future?
