An interdisciplinary conference on the science and technology underpinning secure, sustainable critical-mineral supply chains, connecting foundational science with applied research, pilot-scale studies, and deployable solutions. Hosted by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the AVS Science & Technology Society. Global-to-local supply-chain modeling covers challenges and opportunities for U.S. leadership, AI-enabled modeling to unlock critical-mineral supply, and data-to-decision pipelines for forecasting from government, laboratory, and industry perspectives. Extraction and separation topics include interfacial chemistry and transport phenomena; field- and flow-based separation; bio-based and biomimetic approaches; bridging atomic-scale understanding to applied and field-scale separations; and recovery from terrestrial, marine, coastal, waste, and unconventional feedstocks, including tailings, slags, brines, and e-waste. The cross-cutting AI and autonomous-science theme includes AI for scientific discovery, in situ sensing, autonomous experimentation, and building an AI-ready critical-minerals research ecosystem.
