Keeping the costs down on EVs is very challenging, but solutions include improving the supply chain and production networks, and outsourcing to contract manufacturers.
Australia’s biggest competitor has massively expanded nickel production, funded by Australia’s biggest customer. What can Australia's nickel industry do to survive?
Despite existing frameworks such as the UN Guiding Principles, more precise guidance on implementing standards to combat modern slavery are needed.
Deep-sea mining technology is a new field, and researchers want more data on its impacts.
On a new episode of Monash University’s ‘What Happens Next?’ podcast, discover how we can ensure our transition to a decarbonised future is just.
On a new episode of Monash University’s ‘What Happens Next?’ podcast, we examine whether mining and sustainability can go hand-in-hand as we transition to a decarbonised future,
Vehicles of the future won’t just have batteries where the petrol tank used to be. They’ll also require a redesign of fundamental mechanical systems and their power dynamics.
Critical minerals such as cobalt, lithium and rare earth elements abound in Australia, but we’re not making the most of these in-demand resources.
Researchers have taken a giant leap towards claiming the holy grail of renewable energy by creating a lithium-sulfur battery that’s faster, cleaner, and lasts longer.
To supercharge the climate fight, we need to mitigate the environmental and financial impact of producing lithium-ion technology, and develop lower-carbon batteries.
Electric scooters, e-bikes and other forms of micromobility have set the wheels in motion for a revolution in the way we move around cities.
