surce:Bluebonnet NewsMany Texans go about their daily routines without giving much thought to the devices, technology and machinery that enhance and simplify their lives. Yet many high-tech goods and services we rely on for communications, work, education, safety, energy and transportation would be rendered useless without a group of materials known as rare earth elements.In the November edition of Fiscal Notes, the Comptroller’s office is offering a brief primer on 17 rare earths that make advanced technology tick for both commercial and national security purposes. The U.S. relies heavily on ...

source:Aluminium InsiderAustralian Bauxite Limited (ABx) announced this week yet another record high result in its testing for Rare Earth Elements (REE) at its DL130 bauxite ore deposit in northern Tasmania.Per the firm, the results from the latest testing yielded the highest grades of four “super magnet” REEs, including a high concentration of neodymium oxide (Nd2O3). Current testing levels have the site at 1,878 ppm total rare earth oxides (TREO).Testing at the site also revealed a layer of bedrock that subsequent testing must penetrate to achieve more readings. Therefore, specialized drilli...

source:LaserFocusWorldWith the potential to enhance photothermal therapy, real-time, more accurate temperature detection could help doctors and clinicians diagnose skin cancers earlier and treat them quicker and ideally more effectively.Researchers at the Quebec (Canada)-based Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) have developed single-shot photoluminescence lifetime imaging thermometry (SPLIT), which can easily measure temperature in 2D, and with no contact.The new imaging technique is based on the luminescence of nanoparticles doped with rare-earth ions. According to research...
