source:Iednewsdesk Rare earth elements (REEs) like lanthanum and neodymium are essential components of modern electronics, from cell phones and solar panels to satellites and electric vehicles. These heavy metals occur all around us, albeit in tiny quantities. But demand continues to rise and because they occur in such low concentrations, traditional methods of extracting REEs can be inefficient, environmentally polluting, and detrimental to the health of workers.Now, with funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Environmental Microbes as a BioEngineering Resourc...

source:LUND UNIVERSITYLund University researchers discovered the rare metal terbium in the atmosphere of KELT-9 b, the galaxy’s hottest exoplanet. Using a new analysis method, the team can now study exoplanets in greater detail, potentially leading to insights on exoplanets’ ages, formation, and the possibility of Earth-like planets. Credit: Bibiana Prinoth.The rare metal terbium has been found in an exoplanet’s atmosphere for the first time. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have also developed a new method for analyzing exoplanets, making it possible to study them in more detail.KELT-...
