Germany has developed a salt-and-air battery capable of storing clean energy for decades—without using lithium, cobalt, or rare minerals. The system relies on abundant materials and simple chemical reactions, making it safer and more sustainable. Designed for large-scale energy storage, the battery is ideal for stabilizing renewable grids. Important Details: • Uses salt and air chemistry • No lithium or rare materials • Extremely long lifespan • Low fire and toxicity risk • Designed for grid-sca

Cobalt has been used to make blue glass and ceramics for thousands of years by cultures across the world, including in China, Mesopotamia, and Egypt. The pigment we know today as Cobalt Blue (PB28) was synthesised in 1802 by Louis Jacques Thénard, who described it as ‘a blue colour as beautiful as Ultramarine'.
