source:EurekalertThe ScienceThe metals called lanthanides have valuable properties for clean energy technologies such as electric vehicles and wind turbines and for many other applications. These elements include several critical materials. In nature, lanthanides are often found mixed together. Industry must separate them to take advantage of their individual properties. But conventional approaches to this separation are time consuming and costly and generate waste. Scientists have developed an efficient new method that can be tailored to select specific lanthanides. The technique combines two...

source:miningResearchers at CERN’s Neutron Time-of-Flight facility (n_TOF) collaboration are investigating how cerium is produced in stars.Cerium is a rare earth metal that is used in some types of lightbulbs, flat-screen TVs and biomedical applications. While the element is rare in our planet’s crust, it is slightly more abundant in the universe.“The measurement we carried out enabled us to identify nuclear resonances never observed before in the energy range involved in the production of cerium in stars,” Simone Amaducci, first author of the paper that describes the findings, said in a media...

source:resource worldE-Tech Resources Inc. [TSXV-REE; FSE-K2I] reported the successful completion of its trenching and sampling program at the Eureka project in Namibia. The program revealed significant rare earth oxide mineralization across multiple locations within Exclusive Prospecting License (EPL) 6762.Highlights: The trenching program results continue to confirm the company’s new exploration model. Early results support the concept of a large-scale, stratigraphic, and structural corridor within the Eureka Dome which hosts the rare earth mineralization.Four out of the five new targets con...
