Ultrathin Single-Helix Rare Earth Nanowires: Inorganic Analogues of RNA Conformation with High Mechanical Flexibility来源：ACS PublicationsChirality has always been fascinating, yet inorganic chiral structures, especially those with helical shapes, are underexplored due to synthesis challenges. Herein, we regulated the conformation of rare earth ultrathin nanowires (RE NWs) at the sub-nanometer scale, constructing single-helix NWs (HNWs) with RNA-like conformation. The formation of HNWs is attributed to chiral ligands influencing the directional growth via steric hindrance at low temperatures. Ba...

来源：mining.comBrazilian rare earths producer Serra Verde secured as much as $465 million in funding from the US International Development Finance Corporation as Western nations seek to reduce reliance on China for the key minerals.The financing is to help cover upgrades to the company’s Pela Ema mine in Brazil’s Goiás state, according to an Aug. 15 document on the website of the DFC. The federal agency was created under US President Donald Trump’s first term to offer financing and guarantees for projects in developing nations with a tie to US foreign policy objectives.
