Direct lithium extraction pulls lithium from brine with sorbents, membranes or solvents. How DLE works, what the numbers show, and where limits remain.

The battery in your phone contains enough energy to seriously injure you. Understanding it reveals one of chemistry's most elegant solutions.

An EV is dramatically simpler than a petrol car — a battery, a motor, some software. Here's how the parts work together, the trade-offs versus combustion, and what's coming next.

Batteries store electrical energy as chemical energy and release it on demand. The principles are over 200 years old, but the chemistry inside your phone and your EV is still changing.
