Source:SciDailyA team of researchers developed the sensor from a protein they recently described and then used it to explore the biology of bacteria that use lanthanides. The sensor could offer a more efficient and cost-effective way to detect the rare-earth metals.“Lanthanides are used in a variety of current technologies, including the screens and electronics of smartphones, batteries of electric cars, satellites, and lasers,” says Joseph Cotruvo, Jr., professor of chemistry at Penn State and senior author of the study.“These elements are called rare earths, and they include chemical element...

Source:Phys.OrgA more efficient and cost-effective way to detect lanthanides, the rare earth metals used in smartphones and other technologies, could be possible with a new protein-based sensor that changes its fluorescence when it binds to these metals. A team of researchers from Penn State developed the sensor from a protein they recently described and subsequently used it to explore the biology of bacteria that use lanthanides. A study describing the sensor appears online in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.'Lanthanides are used in a variety of current technologies, includin...

Source:Phys.OrgA team of researchers from China, the U.S. and Australia has found that adding the rare-earth element samarium to piezoelectric crystals can dramatically improve their performance. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes their work and how well the altered crystals performed when tested. Ji?í Hlinka with Fyzikální ústav Akademie Věd ?eské Republiky has published a Perspective piece on the work done by the team in the same journal issue.Piezoelectric devices have been in the news a lot lately as scientists have been looking in...
