Congratulations to our newest doctor, Dr. Foley! Dr. Foley developed techniques to track Cu speciation during electrocatalytic CO2 conversion and new #electrosynthesis of C-N compounds! We are so proud of you and know you will do great things! #PhDONE @jhuartssciences.bsky.social
Rare earth elements power your phone, your car, even MRI machines, but extracting them has an environmental and geopolitical cost. JHU researchers are rethinking that: recycling magnets, using plants as miners. "It's all about the electrons." @grace-panetti.bsky.social hub.jhu.edu/magazine/202...
Heavy metals
Rare earth elements are crucial for our modern age. Crucial, too, is solving the environmental challenges surrounding them.
