Global sulfur prices have risen sharply over the past two years, highlighting growing instability in the supply of a critical raw material for the chemical industry. According to market analysts, the tightening sulfur market is not merely the result of recent geopolitical tensions but also reflects deeper structural changes in the global energy sector. These developments are raising concerns about the long-term availability of sulfuric acid, one of the most essential chemicals used across modern industry.SEE MORE
As the global mining industry faces growing challenges, including declining ore grades, rising demand for critical minerals, and increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions, bioleaching technology is emerging as a potential solution to transform mineral extraction and processing toward a more sustainable future.SEE MORE
What is a flow battery? Unlike conventional batteries (such as lithium-ion), which store energy in solid electrodes inside the cell itself, a flow battery stores energy in two separate tanks of liquid electrolyte. When electricity is needed, the two liquids are pumped through an electrochemical reaction chamber, where oxidation-reduction reactions between them generate a current.SEE MORE
Tire manufacturer Titan recently introduced the ITP CrossTrax tire line for utility terrain vehicles (UTVs), developed based on direct feedback from dealers and farmers. At an event in early 2025, Titan dealers repeatedly raised concerns about durability and vehicle downtime caused by tire-related issues. Farmers later confirmed these challenges, emphasizing the need for a UTV tire specifically designed for agricultural operations rather than products primarily developed for recreational use.SEE MORE
Natural rubber is one of the most important raw materials in the tire manufacturing industry — especially for truck tires, bus tires, and aircraft tires, where the proportion of natural rubber is significantly higher than in passenger car tires. Therefore, the productivity and stability of natural rubber supply directly affect production costs and the long-term supply capacity of tire manufacturers.SEE MORE
