Whether ultramarine, cerulean, Egyptian or cobalt, blue pigments have colored artworks for centuries. Now, seemingly out of the blue, scientists have discovered a new blue pigment that uses less ...

In the switch to 'greener' energy sources, the demand for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries is surging. However, their cathodes typically contain cobalt -- a metal whose extraction has high ...

The element cobalt is considered a typical ferromagnet with no further secrets. However, an international team led by HZB researcher Dr. Jaime Sánchez-Barriga has now uncovered complex topological ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Wearing cobalt blue gowns, 175 seniors from Cobalt Institute of Math & Science received their diplomas during a recent ...

Scientists from Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University for the first time obtained cobalt complexes-based self-oscillating gels. Such gels can occasionally change their geometric parameters, thanks ...

Systemic risk and shock propagation in the global cobalt supply chain. This schematic illustrates the multilayer structure of the global cobalt supply chain and how localized disruptions propagate ...

Physicists have been chasing quantum spin liquids for decades, hunting for materials where magnetic moments refuse to freeze into neat patterns even at the lowest temperatures. A new cobalt-based ...

Most magnets are predictable. Cool them down, and their tiny magnetic moments snap into place like disciplined soldiers. However, physicists have long suspected that, under the right conditions, ...

Child labour, human rights violations, and environmental harm. The rush for cobalt sheds light on the downside of the electric dream. And while researchers are looking for technological alternatives ...

175 seniors graduated from Cobalt Institute of Math & Science in Victorville. The ceremony took place at High Desert Church’s Powell Auditorium on May 19. Cobalt is a STEM-focused school and ...
