A new paper in Nature Communications calls on energy developers to incorporate state-of-art knowledge to ensure decarbonization projects benefit the communities that choose to host them.

Leslie Lamberson, director of the Extreme Structures & Materials (X-STRM) Laboratory, is a co-principal investigator for the new Center for Simulation and design of Heterogeneous Architectures for Performance and Energy absorption (SHAPE).

The findings, published in the journal Science, show that improved recovery of critical minerals such as cobalt, lithium and rare earth elements currently being discarded as tailings of other mineral streams could meet the U.S. demand for energy, defense and technology applications.

A member of the Mines faculty since 2014, Brennecka is the George S. Ansell Chair of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering.

Mines Geophysics Professor Brandon Dugan is co-chief scientist on the international expedition, a collaboration between the International Ocean Drilling Programme and U.S. National Science Foundation.

Mines experts explain wildfire impact from emergency notification to debris flows to snowpack loss, highlighting post-fire recovery.

The Mines Entrepreneurship and Innovation Ecosystem is supporting Mines-grown research that is ready to launch from the lab through the new Faculty Startup Fellowship, which give Mines professors course relief and support from Beck Venture Center to commercialize their technologies.

Omid Beik, assistant professor of electrical engineering, and C. Michael McGuirk, associate professor of chemistry, are conducting research that could power future space exploration.

In the 1960s, scientists were quite surprised when they looked at their data: it clearly showed that there was fresh or freshened water under the ocean floor. How did it get there? How long has it
