Geochemical and Sr–Nd–Hf isotopic evidence for Cenozoic partial melting of mantle beneath Natanz, Central Iran by Babazadeh, S, D'Antonio, M, Raeisi, D, Furman, T, Santosh, M, Di Renzo, V, Klötzli, U, Choi, SH, Ghalamghash, J, Cottle, JM, Palin, R

“…Combined modelling of trace element and isotopic data suggests that the most mafic Natanz magmas could have formed through ∼5% melting of a source comprising 99% depleted mantle +1% sediment, with the melts modified subsequently by ∼3% contamination by Cadomian upper crustal components. …”

Positively-Coated Nanofiltration Membranes for Lithium Recovery from Battery Leachates and Salt-Lakes: Ion Transport Fundamentals and Module Performance by Foo, Zi Hao, Liu, Suwei, Kanias, Lucy, Lee, Trent R., Heath, Samuel M., Tomi, Yasuhiro, Miyabe, Tomotsugu, Keten, Sinan, Lueptow, Richard M., Lienhard, John H.

“…Over 8000 ion rejection measurements are recorded using salt lake brines and battery leachates. The experiments exemplify the coated membrane's ability to reduce magnesium concentrations to 0.14% from salt lakes and elevate lithium purity to 98% from battery leachates, in a single filtration stage. …”

Uncomputability and Physical Law by Lloyd, Seth

“…In particular, the form of the energy spectrum of quantum systems capable of universal computation is uncomputable: to answer whether a Hamiltonian system is gapped or gapless in a particular sector requires one to solve the Halting problem. Finally, the problem of determining the most concise expression of physical laws requires one to determine the algorithmic complexity of those laws, and so, the answer to this problem is uncomputable.…”
