Scientists have uncovered unexpected quantum complexity inside cobalt, a metal long thought to be fully understood. Advanced ...

Hexagonal close-packed cobalt, a metal already embedded in rechargeable batteries and industrial magnets, turns out to harbor ...

Equivalent Fermi surfaces generated by density functional theory (DFT) for a specific magnetic space group of cobalt. The theoretical results show strong qualitative agreement with experimental ...

Cobalt sits in countless hard drives and electric motors, and physicists thought they understood it. A new map of its ...

A team of researchers in Japan has created a cleaner alternative to using cobalt—a rare element and key component in lithium-ion batteries—that also improves the battery’s chemistry. SAN FRANCISCO, ...

Cobalt and nickel, bound together in lithium-ion battery cathodes, are difficult to separate during battery recycling. Researchers have now found a way to tease the elements apart electrochemically ...
