A team led by Cornell researchers has devised an innovative method to recover gold from electronic waste and repurpose it as a catalyst for converting carbon dioxide (CO 2) into organic compounds.

Chinese researchers say they can now strip almost all the gold out of discarded phones and circuit boards in the time it ...

ETH Zurich researchers have developed a sustainable method to recover gold from electronic waste. The method uses a sponge made from denatured whey proteins that selectively adsorb gold ions. The ...
