News Summary

• A new technology offers a safe, eco-friendly way to extract lithium-6, a key ingredient for fueling nuclear fusion experiments.
• Researchers at ETH Zurich, Texas A&M University, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Canadian Light Source Inc., and the Paul Scherrer Institute are winners of the 2025 Gizmodo Science Fair.
• The system, which the researchers say is “like a battery in reverse,” works by powering a cell loaded with water, where a negatively charged zeta vanadium oxide electrode bonds with and traps Lithium-6 ions.
