source:MiningRare earth elements (REE) are used in the high-strength magnets found in new technologies such as smartphones, wind turbines, electric vehicles, and defence systems. Despite their name, REEs are not rare, although finding secure sources of supply is becoming increasingly important to countries, particularly given China's dominance of the sector.Yet in 2023, REE prices tumbled. The price (in China) of praseodymium oxide — one of the most widely used rare earth elements — fell 34% over the year, while terbium oxide and neodymium oxide each dropped to their lowest levels last mon...

University team is studying ways to purify rare earth elements necessary for smart phones and other technological devicessource:NEVADA TodaySmart phones. Permanent magnets. Guidance systems. Lasers. Medical imaging.Many of the high-tech tools we use in our everyday lives rely on rare earth elements due to their desirable magnetic, luminescent and electrical properties. With the demand for rare earths at an all-time high, being able to efficiently extract and process them is of high importance to manufacturers.Enter Chemical & Materials Engineering (CME) Associate Professor David Cantu, CME...

source:Zelosos por Buenas RenovablesRare Element Resources (RER) is spearheading a groundbreaking initiative to establish US-based rare earth production using innovative recovery and separation technology. While China has dominated the rare earth market for decades, controlling over 85% of processing and separation and 92% of rare earth magnet production, RER aims to challenge this monopoly and reduce the risk associated with the global supply chain.Rare earths, although often overlooked, play a crucial role in our everyday lives. They are integral to the technology we rely on, from computers ...
