In hybrid cars and flat screen tvs, all carry valuable sources inside them. The valuable material are being wasted and thrown out everyday. Scientists created a new method to recycle these materials safely. An example of this is terbium is a metal used in a knife. Scientists can release this material from the knife and use this valuable metal for other uses. Or since terbium may be projected to be all used up in 30 years, scientists can preserve this metal. The process of taking these materials out of objects was by using a nanomaterial known as nano-magnesium hydroxide. This process can be proven to be very helpful in the future.
