Iodine? Molybdenum? Cobalt?

Is greigite a metal? It is definitely a more interesting mineral, I'll give you that.

Carbon does not beat metal structurally. Some organic polymers are competitive in tensile strength. In flexural strength and fracture toughness, alloys continue to rule. And when c…

None of these strategies seem to address the other technological issue hiding beneath the surface, which is that EVs are fundamentally simpler (electric vs combustion motor) and he…
