Lithium (from Greek lithos or stone) is a silvery-white alkali metal that is the lightest solid element. Just one atomic step up from Helium, this magic metal seems to be in everything these days.

Lithium, Servant Metal As a Scavenging Agent, This Lightest of All Metals Makes Possible Alloy Castings that are Stronger, Less Porous, and Higher in Electrical Conductivity.

Since lithium is the lightest metal and the third-lightest element, after hydrogen and helium, a lithium-ion battery can store 50% more energy per unit weight than older rechargeable battery ...

Lithium resources are abundant globally in rock and brine but researchers have discovered a new source in volcanic sediments.

Lithium is the lightest metal on the periodic table, and it is used in a wide variety of applications, including lithium-ion batteries, pharmaceuticals and industrial applications like glass and ...

Lithium, says David Boutt, professor of geosciences at UMass Amherst, the paper's senior author, is a strange element. It's the lightest of the metals, but it doesn't like to be in a solid form.

LLZO-based solid-state batteries show limited energy density gains and face production challenges; hybrid electrolytes may be ...
