batteries of mobile phones may now last longer. The circuits, which draw power from batteries, currently run at around 1 volt. Scientists have come up with a technology that will allow circuits to
In 2007, lithium consumption in the United States was estimated to be 2,200 metric tons (t) of contained lithium, 12% less than the estimates for 2006 and 2005. Decreased U.S. consumption was likely the result of the tight worldwide supply of lithium during the fi rst half of 2007.
