href="https://www.miningnewswire.com/university-of-sydney-researchers-design-new-long-range-wi-fi-system-for-underground-mines/">University of Sydney Researchers Design New Long-Range Wi-Fi System for Underground Mines</a></h2><p>Telecommunication researchers at the University of Sydney have designed an industrial long-range Wi-Fi system that maintains high data rates while transmitting signals to places that are difficult to reach. This is unlike existing systems, which have high-latency, short-communication ranges of less than 100 meters and are primarily designed for indoor applications. These features make them unsuitable for critical applications. The system is being developed for crucial applications in underground mines, which require control of sensitive equipment and remote-worker monitoring, with signals that extend a few kilometers underground.

Long-term energy storage technologies are the solution to these issues because they can store electricity for a significant amount of time. However, given that the full commercialization of these technologies may be achieved in the long term, the need for a current solution remains. This is where battery energy storage comes in, as the rechargeable technology can store electricity for a couple of hours, which makes a…</p><p><a href="https://www.miningnewswire.com/why-energy-storage-systems-are-urgently-needed/" class="link">Continue Reading</a></p></div></div> </div> </article> <article id="post-35152" class="post-35152 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-miningstocks"> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="newsblock"><div class="timestamp"><span class="weekday">Wednesday</span><span class="month">Dec</span><span class="day"> 29, </span><span class="year"> 2021</span><span class="time"> 12:25 pm</span></div><div class="newsblurb"><h2><a href="https://www.miningnewswire.com/wgc-report-shows-golds-investment-appeal-growing/">WGC Report Shows Gold’s Investment Appeal Growing</a></h2><p>A new report by the World Gold Council (“WGC”) highlights that investors have begun to shift towards assets that are less liquid than conventional investments to improve portfolio performance. The council states that investors are also getting involved in riskier investment alternatives seeking higher yields, even with fixed income investments making up a large chunk of their portfolios. The council believes that the investment appeal for gold will strengthen amid the shift to less liquid and riskier assets, given its usefulness as a highly liquid diversifier, which can decrease portfolio volatility.
