姆菲凯伊・马卡伊: 寻找关键金属的新兴科学

寻找关键金属的新兴科学

你的智能手机、电脑和电动汽车都依赖于一件事——埋在地下深处的关键矿物。但有一个问题：采矿创新者姆菲凯伊・马卡伊(Mfikeyi Makayi) 表示：采矿业在我们最需要的时候发现新矿床的能力已经大大下降。她介绍了一种新的人工智能技术，可以通过比传统方法快 10000 倍的速度预测矿物位置来解决这个问题，并改变一个对可持续未来至关重要的行业。

Critical minerals are essential for everything from smartphones to electric vehicles, but traditional mining methods have become ten times less effective at discovering new deposits over the past 30 years. Despite this, most ore deposits remain hidden underground, waiting to be found. New AI-driven exploration technology can predict mineral locations 10,000 times faster than conventional methods, enabling smarter, cleaner, and more efficient mining. This leap offers a path forward for building the circular economy that modern life demands.

AI Uncovers Hidden Minerals To Power A Clean Future

The clean energy transition depends on critical minerals, yet traditional mining has become ten times worse at finding new deposits in the past 30 years. With over 400 new mines needed by 2040, most ore deposits remain hidden, not depleted. Innovative AI tools now predict where these metals lie 10,000 times faster than old methods, turning uncertainty into actionable insight. Smarter exploration means more efficient, sustainable, and resilient mining to power tomorrow’s technology.
