source：EurekAlertResearchers from Trinity College Dublin have shed new light on the formation mechanisms of a rare earth-bearing mineral that is in increasingly high demand across the globe for its use in the green energy and tech industries.Their discovery has important economic implications because there are no substitute alternatives to these rare earth elements (REEs), which are indispensable due to their ability to form small and very powerful magnets essential for smart devices and low-carbon energy generation (e.g., electronics, wind turbines, hybrid cars).Most REEs are exploited in car...

source：StockheadSpecial Report: Red Mountain Mining (ASX:RMX) has completed a radiometric survey to help identify and delineate heavy rare earth targets at its Mt Mansbridge project in WA.The circa 800km airborne survey was carried out to further identify unconformity type rare earths targets at the project in the Kimberley region, which is interpreted to be similar to Northern Minerals’ (ASX:NTU) Dazzler and Iceman xenotime-style heavy rare earth deposits.Red Mountain noted that radiometric data has proven to be valuable in vectoring in on heavy rare earth targets in xenotime deposits.Interpr...

source：EurekAlertA team of researchers from Russia, the United States, and China led by Skoltech Professor Artem R. Oganov has discovered an unexpected very complex europium hydride, Eu8H46. The paper detailing the discovery has been published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.Superhydrides of rare-earth metals are interesting compounds that form under pressure: some exhibit high-temperature superconductivity that scientists have been chasing for over 100 years, and some possess magnetic properties. Although devoid of superconductivity, europium hydrides are very interesting in view...
