Now Boston Metal has successfully demonstrated that its Molten Oxide Electrolysis (MOE) industrial cell can be scaled up to ...

Boston Metal has pioneered a process known as molten oxide electrolysis (MOE). This method of producing the metal involves combining iron ore with an electrolyte in a reactor and then using ...

Boston Metal’s approach instead uses electrolysis to convert iron ore into molten iron without directly producing any emissions. As a result, if the electricity used to drive the process comes from ...

When the steel industry rapidly expanded in the 1990s in China, the fashionable research topic was working out how to remove impurities from molten steel. Zhai, instead, turned his attention to ...

David Gatlin found a way to get rid of ants nests and create beautiful art at the same time: he pours 1,400-degree molten aluminum into them. When the metal dries, it creates an intricate sculpture.

Chemists report that radiation-induced chemical reactions may help mitigate the corrosion of metals in a new type of nuclear reactor cooled by molten salts.
