source:AZO NANORecently, rare earth elements (REE) have become a fundamental part of advanced industries. However, industries suffer a shortage in REE materials, predominantly due to the lack of robust recovery strategies associated with sustainable REE removal. Scientists have used nanotechnology to develop nanocellulose that can effectively recover REE, using a novel and sustainable method.Besides being useful in traditional sectors, rare earth elements are useful metals in many futuristic industries, such as lasers, fluorescent lamps, atomic batteries, engine turbines, and super magnets.At ...

source:NIKKEI AisaTOKYO -- The Japanese government decided Tuesday to restrict access to the nation's rare-earth resources to a roster of approved miners to protect offshore deposits within its exclusive economic zone.Only operators licensed by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will be allowed to mine rare earths. The plan was approved by a METI subcommittee Tuesday, with the legislative proposal to be submitted to next year's regular parliamentary session.At present, rare earths fall beyond the scope of Japanese law regulating mining. When the mining laws were originally wri...
