Solar Applied Plans to Transform Urban Mining by Merging Ecology and Economy

According to the United Nations Environmental Programme, an estimated 50 million tons of electronic waste are generated around the world every year. What's more, the metal deposits found in many types of e-waste can be 40 to 50 times richer than the raw ore extracted from mines. One ton of gold ore, for example, yields 5 grams of gold, on average. However, approximately 150 grams of gold can be found in one ton of phone circuitry.

Researchers Develop Method to Produce Clean, Economical Fuel from Water

An inexpensive method for generating clean fuel is the modern-day equivalent of the philosopher's stone. One compelling idea is to use solar energy to split water into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen and then harvest the hydrogen for use as fuel. But splitting water efficiently turns out to be not so easy.
