Researchers used AI to design a new material that they used to build a working battery – it requires up to 70 percent less lithium than some competing designs.
That’s rare earths. Lithium is spread quite broadly, there is a lot in South America in particular.
In fact rare earths are pretty common as well, it’s just that only China is willing to destroy their environment with the dirty refining processes required to extract them cheaply.
