Scientists Discover Jadarite Mineral Similar to Kryptonite, Could Power EVs
Scientists discovered a rare white mineral called Jadarite in Serbia in 2004, whose chemical composition closely matches Superman's fictional Kryptonite. Unlike the glowing green Kryptonite, Jadarite is neither green nor radioactive. New research indicates this mineral could supply much of Europe's lithium demand for electric vehicles, but local opposition has blocked mining efforts.
