CMI researchers from Colorado School of Mines conducted the activity for this highlight
The CMI technology for electrochemical leaching was developed at CMI Team member Idaho National Laboratory and participated in AMMTO's Energy I-Corps program during Cohort 12. Since graduating from the program, the team’s technology has been licensed in the battery sector and other companies are pursuing licenses including in the mining sector.
A team of researchers from the U. S. Department of Energy Ames National Laboratory developed a magnetocaloric heat pump that matches current vapor-compression heat pumps for weight, cost, and performance.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced an investment of $17 million across 14 projects that will accelerate critical materials innovation while promoting safe, sustainable, economic, and efficient solutions to meet current and future supply chain needs. The projects, which span 11 states, are strengthening and streamlining manufacturing for high-impact components and technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells, magnets for high-efficiency motors, high-performance lithium-ion batteries, and high-yield low-defect power electronics.
CMI research in magnets is noted in the Recycling Today article "DOE to invest $17M in critical minerals supply chain"
Researchers from the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) Ames National Laboratory and Iowa State University are leading efforts to overcome materials challenges that could make commercial fusion power a reality.

Scientists at Ames National Laboratory discovered that confinement effects can be sufficient to reduce the effective coordination number of a metal in grafted organometallic complexes. They applied nuclear dipolar coupling measurements to study the temperature-dependent motions of rare earth amidinate complexes grafted to silica support materials. They observed that ligand dynamics could be hindered, and slowed down, in narrow-pore environments.
Ionic liquids have exceptional properties in separations that may benefit the DOE mission in sequestering CO2 or rare earth elements. Understanding their structure provides a means of exploiting them. Previous investigations have focused on the small (~1-nm) domains formed by ionic liquids. We observe two large domains in tetradecyltrihexyl phosphonium chloride that are stable up to 50˚C.
