The US-China rare earths deal shows the importance of critical materials in a new era of strategic interdependence | USAPP As resource competition sharpens, resilience and innovation will be key to navigating this new era of strategic interdependence.

Rare earth elements and value chains - @vietecon.bsky.social and @gavindjharper.bsky.social look at the background to the recent US - China deal.

Tariffs, automation and inequality: why US jobs won’t return but developing countries will still lose Tariffs dominate headlines, but automation poses the deeper threat - both to US jobs and to export-led growth as a development model

“Rather than relying solely on manufacturing, developing economies should diversify into sectors less vulnerable to automation but rich in employment potential” (healthcare, education, tourism etc) – @vietecon.bsky.social in our latest blog post #LSEInequalitiesBlog

The closing longevity gap between battery electric vehicles and internal combustion vehicles in Great Britain - Nature Energy Big data from MOT tests in Great Britain shows that early battery electric vehicles (BEVs) were less reliable than internal combustion vehicles. Here Nguyen-Tien et al. show that rapid technological a...

New study in Nature Energy reveals that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) now rival traditional cars in reliability and lifespan! Rapid tech advancements making BEVs a sustainable alternative to petrol and diesel vehicles. #EVs #Sustainability @vietecon.bsky.social

As supportive policies in the US reverse, EVs' fundamental functionality becomes crucial for competitiveness. My research at @cep-lse.bsky.social @poid-lse.bsky.social highlights that BEVs, which were traditionally less reliable, have rapidly evolved. 👇

Battery-powered electric vehicles now match petrol and diesel counterparts for longevity BEVs now have a lifespan similar to that of a petrol engine and surpassing the lifespan of a diesel engine.

Also great to see our work featured on LSE News bit.ly/4jxEwaM and covered by 110+ media outlets here and across the globe, highlighting the role of technical improvement in the acceptance of new technologies like EVs.
