source：MINING.comThe US Department of Energy’s National Energy Technical Laboratory announced that it has selected a Texas Mineral Resources-led consortium to receive an award of up to $1 million targeting the production of rare earths in Pennsylvania. Besides Texas Mineral Resources (OTCQB: TMRC), the project includes Penn State, Jeddo Coal Company and H22OS. The consortium’s objective is to install a self-contained, modular and portable pilot plant at a Jeddo Coal site in Pennsylvania capable of producing 1-3 tonnes of rare earth oxides derived from coal byproducts from anthracite...

source：Laboratory EquipmentA group of physicists led by Rashid Valiev, associate professor at TSU’s Faculty of Physics, has created a model for calculating the photophysical characteristics of molecules—one that is applicable for molecules of any nature, including rare earth lanthanides. Due to the introduction of the anharmonicity effect, the model can predict the properties of molecules even before their synthesis, without carrying out experiments. An article about the new model was published in the journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics.Knowledge of the photophysical and photochemical ...
