High-throughput and efficient clean-up of viscous crude oil spills
Crude oil spills with high viscosity make the clean-up of oil spills a global challenge in practice, and bring severe threat to the marine environment. In this work, we demonstrate a gel mesh filter interface design coupled with induction heating, for high-throughput clean-up of viscous oil spills.
How to build a circular economy for rare-earth elements
Rare-earth elements (REE) that are crucial for clean-energy technologies are jealously fought over. Policies and programmes to encourage recycling and recovery could reduce tensions. Here we propose a research perspective on a circular economy for REE with three pillars.
