With key metal reserves dwindling, demand soaring from green tech, and production emissions skyrocketing, a materials crisis threatens global infrastructure. Researchers propose five urgent tech strategies—from nanoscale alloy engineering to AI-powered circular systems—to secure sustainable metal supplies critical for computing, energy, and transportation.

A novel chemical process transforms mixed plastic waste into virgin-grade monomers in just 15 minutes at room temperature, potentially ending the plastic recycling crisis. Denovia's technology achieves 86% yield with 65% gross margins, turning landfill-bound waste into high-value materials. This innovation could disrupt the $122 billion recycled plastics market while slashing the 3.4% of global emissions attributed to plastic pollution.
