source:astrobiologyA new biosensor engineered by Penn State researchers offers scientists the first dynamic glimpses of manganese, an elusive metal ion that is essential for life.The researchers engineered the sensor from a natural protein called lanmodulin, which binds rare earth elements with high selectivity and was discovered 5 years ago by some of the Penn State researchers involved in the present study.They were able to genetically reprogram the protein to favor manganese over other common transition metals like iron and copper, which defies the trends observed with most transition metal...

source:news.cornellA model system created by stacking a pair of monolayer semiconductors is giving physicists a simpler way to study confounding quantum behavior, from heavy fermions to exotic quantum phase transitions.The group’s paper, “Gate-Tunable Heavy Fermions in a Moiré Kondo Lattice,” published March 15 in Nature. The lead author is postdoctoral fellow Wenjin Zhao in the Kavli Institute at Cornell.The project was led by Kin Fai Mak, professor of physics in the College of Arts and Sciences, and Jie Shan, professor of applied and engineering physics in Cornell Engineering and in A&a...

Eastern Metals sets sights on high-grade rare earths at former base and precious metals mine on Tara licencesouece:proactiveinvestorsEastern Metals Ltd (ASX:EMS) has returned some “significant results” from recent preliminary exploration at the old prospecting pit of Currawalla Mine on the Tara exploration licence in the Cobar Basin, New South Wales.Sampling at the shallow mine, which was historically explored and exhausted for base and precious metals, came back from the lab revealing up to 3.38% total rare earth oxides (TREO).The Currawalla Mine is coincident with a discrete and underexplore...
