The College of Engineering & Mines will receive funding through a program aiming to establish processes that extract critical materials and rare-earth elements from coal and coal-based feedstocks.

North Dakota has vast reserves of elements critical to electronics, defense and national security, say Washington leaders in campus visit.

Representing UND on the world stage, Chinaecherem Okwuonu takes the global title in the AspenTech Innovators Challenge after first being named the North American winner.

The number of research projects increased this year, as did external funding, published papers and conference appearances.

UND researchers are working with Packet Digital and North Dakota mineral producers to create better battery materials and open a new testing lab for American-made drone batteries.

UND is proud to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Bulgarian Energy Holding to establish a collaborative research initiative focused on the exploration and sustainable development of rare earth elements in Bulgaria.

Minnkota Power Cooperative joins UND College of Engineering & Mines Research Institute (CEMRI) and other industry research partners in capitalizing on rare earth elements.

Refining REEs can boost national security while transforming North Dakota’s economy, UND researchers say It’s truly amazing that something can come from nothing. Or almost nothing — meaning a substance that scientists measure in grams can be so important to global manufacturing and the national defense of the United States. In early April, two UND […]

Dan Laudal, research professor at UND’s Institute of Energy Studies and project manager of the study, said the $8 million grant will fund the first phase of research, which will examine the economic feasibility of constructing a facility to extract and process rare earth materials in Grand Forks.

Johannes Van der Watt, research assistant professor at UND’s Institute of Energy Studies, has been awarded more than $1.25 million in funding to study the feasibility of using industrial residues to capture carbon dioxide in a solid form—and then using that solid in a beneficial way.
