source:ScienceSuperconductivity is one of the most fascinating, macroscopically observable quantum phenomena. A notable aspect of its description is the existence of an attractive interaction, a “glue,” between electrons. This can bind them into Cooper pairs, which then condense into a common superconducting ground state. In contrast to conventional superconductors, which are described by the theory of Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer, a primary phonon-mediated pairing mechanism is unlikely in the high-temperature (Tc) superconducting cuprates, and therefore they are referred to as unconvention...

source:REUTERSAustralian rare earth miner Vital Metals said on Tuesday it had started production at its Nechalacho project in Canada’s Northwestern Territories last month.The miner said it has begun crushing ore and expects to hit full production rates in July.Rare earth elements are of strategic significance. Most automakers also use rare-earth-based magnets in electronic vehicle motors.China dominates the global production of the raw materials, which are expensive. Australia’s Lynas, a much larger rival of Vital, is the biggest non-China supplier of the product.
