South Korea's Center for Multidimensional Carbon Materials (CMCM), part of the Institute of Basic Science (IBS), has announced that a research team has discovered the core principles affecting the growth of large-area single-crystal dichloride, ANI reports, citing Global Economy. The researchers, in collaboration with a Chinese research group, have successfully produced core dichloride materials such as tungsten disulfide (WS₂) as wafer-level single-crystal transition metal dichloride (TMD), laying a foundation for the development of next-generation semiconductor.

The US and Australia’s officials in Singapore agreed to cooperate further on the rare earth supply, which are critical to the production of clean energy technologies such as electric vehicles.

Australian Tasmanian tungsten producer King Island Scheelite will start its Dolphin tungsten project next month, 31 years after the mine was closed due to low prices. The company changed its name to Group 6 Metals, which previously described Dolphin as "one of the world's richest tungsten deposits".
