Biomass is a renewable resource with abundant reserves, wide distribution, low price and carbon fixation function. It has the potential to replace fossil resources to produce hydrocarbon fuels and chemical products. In recent years, studies have found that biomass such as lignocellulose is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. After pretreatment, carbohydrate raw materials such as cellulose and glucose can be obtained, which can be used to produce high value-added chemicals and organisms’ oil.

With the upcoming construction of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), the study of plasma-facing materials (PFM) used in ITER has become a popular and frontier research direction, as it is a key component of fusion reactor.

According to Bloomberg News, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a conference call: Tesla has mastered the technology to reduce the amount of cobalt metal in lithium-ion batteries. The original words are: We think we can get Cobalt to almost nothing. Tesla is currently mass producing the Model 3, which is powered by a lithium-ion battery pack.

For many years, tungsten alloy has been the best choice for engineers and doctors regarding nuclear medicine. One key reason for this is the high density of tungsten alloy. In fact, it is more than 60% denser than lead, providing superior attenuation characteristics for x-ray and gamma radiation.
