Lithium is a key component of lithium-ion batteries and lithium-ion batteries are a key component of the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy and electric cars.

It is titled, "Lithium enrichment in intracontinental rhyolite magmas leads to Li deposits in caldera basins." Wow. Sounds like a real page-turner, doesn't it
