After 200 years scientists finally crack the “dolomite problem”

Neat. I wonder what uses we might eventually have for it.

From the article

This concept could help improve the production of semiconductors, solar panels, batteries and other high-performance technologies.

Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolomite_(mineral)#Uses

Sure, but a theoretical use isn't a use, yet. Also, did you happen to read your helpful wikipedia citation? It's mostly used to mix into soil for pH balance. Not really something that makes this a game-changing breakthrough.

But I'm looking forward to seeing what we might figure out for practical applications!

Getting closer to being able to create Bender.

I'm 40% dolomite!
