Berkeley Lab is conducting an investigation to better understand the Salton Sea’s geothermal lithium resources.

The Salton Sea geothermal field in California potentially holds enough lithium to meet all of the US’ domestic battery needs, with even enough left over to export some of it. (Earlier post.) There are currently 11 commercial plants at the Salton Sea field producing geothermal energy, a process in which...

BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. 16, 2022 -- Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) scientists have developed a technique to automatically bypass

The Salton Sea geothermal field in California potentially holds enough lithium to meet all of America’s domestic battery needs, with even enough left over to export some of it. But how much of that lithium can be extracted in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way? And how long will the resource last? These are just a few of the questions that researchers hope to answer in a new project sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy.

Optical or photonic coatings are generally used to increase the reflection, transmission, or polarization properties of a component, e.g., prisms, polarizing films, color filters, mirrors, diffraction mosaics, and refractory lenses. Photonic coatings are applied in many sectors, such as medicine, se
