Steel bosses warn ′back door′ loophole in UK trade rules could lead to job cuts and closures (The Guardian)

|

New measures will protect Tata and British Steel but allow foreign pre-made parts into the UK, say industry bossesSteel bosses have warned ministers that a “back door” in new trade rules could hit British manufacturers and lead to job cuts and factory closures by allowing a vast array of foreign products to still enter the UK tax-free.The loophole means pre-made steel parts ranging from bridge sections, columns and door frames, all the way to smaller rods and tubes used in buildings, will escape recently announced import tariffs, the Guardian understands.

US Must Boost Domestic Uranium Enrichment To Counter Proliferation Risks
The Export-Import Bank of the United States recently issued letters of interest supporting up to $4.2 billion in financing for enriched uranium sales by General Matter to utilities in Japan and South Korea. This includes up to $2.4 billion for Japanese operators and $1.8 billion for South Korean ones over the coming decade.
As we reported, the deal advances American energy dominance and reduces allied dependence on adversarial fuel suppliers.
This transaction arrives as the United States, and much of the world, pursues a nuclear renaissance. Surging electricity demand from data centers and industry, combined with policy support for clean baseload power, requires reliable domestic fuel supplies.
With Russian enriched uranium imports facing a full ban by 2028, expanding US enrichment capacity is essential to avoid bottlenecks for both existing reactors and new advanced designs.
Yet the strategic case extends beyond ener...

China's Breakthrough Lithium Battery Could Double EV Range To 600+ Miles, Survive -94°F Temp
Authored by Bojan Stojkovski via Interesting Engineering,
A team of researchers in China has unveiled an all-weather electrolyte designed to boost the performance of lithium batteries across a wide range of conditions. Scientists based in Shanghai and Tianjin report that batteries built with the new hydrofluorocarbon-based electrolyte delivered more than twice the energy density of conventional designs when tested at room temperature.
Fluorine-based electrolyte could improve EV and drone battery efficiency.
Beyond efficiency gains, the team says the chemistry remains stable in extreme environments, with batteries continuing to operate effectively at temperatures as low as minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit.
The development points to a potential path for longer-lasting, more resilient batteries suited for EVs and other demanding applications, where both energy density and reliability under stress are cri...
