Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are crucial for a low-carbon economy but overuse pollutes ecosystems. Studying their behavior and source in agricultural soils provides vital insights for soil management. To address this, we collected an extensive dataset comprising 2901 topsoil and 733 subsoil samples from an agriculturally dominant …
The rare-earth elements ( REE) are a group of 17 elements on the periodic table, consisting of the lanthanoid series, and scandium and yttrium. While some REEs are not particularly rare in terms of average abundance in the Earth's crust, they are seldom found in concentrations high enough for economic extraction, and global annual production ...
The most import feature of rare-earth magnets are the superior magnetic field of all natural magnets available. Also, rare-earth magnets have become less expensive and hence widely used in applications. The main use of rare-earth magnets are in hard drives, speakers, magnetic levitation turbines, roller coasters, and computers.

According to the NHS, there are 36 different blood groups and eight "main blood types." The latter consists of the familiar-sounding ones like O, A, B, and AB (positives and negatives), but let's talk rare. …
Abstract. It is shown that the unique features of the physical properties of rare-earth semiconductor compounds are based on the small values of the ionization potentials of the rare-earth elements included in them. The reason for this is the presence of 4f shells in the electronic structure of the elements. Authors:

The operation, which has an upfront capital cost of $217m (Kz182.21bn), will extract, concentrate, calcine and chemically refine the free dig material to produce a high-value mixed rare earth carbonate that contains 50% total rare earth oxide, of which 24% is neodymium and praseodymium.
1. Introduction. In recent years phosphate glasses doped with rare-earth (RE) and transition metal (TM) ions have gained significant attention due to their potential applications in optical, photonic, and magneto-optical devices [1, 2].Phosphate glasses generally have lower melting point and dissovle more easily in aqueous solutions such …
This infographic features data from the United States Geological Society (USGS) which reveals the countries with the largest known reserves of rare earth elements (REEs).
Rare earth elements (REE) geochemistry can reveal the environmental information of solutes in river systems because REE is sensitive to hydro-geochemical changes in the earth's surface environment. This work collected the river water samples from Zhujiang River (the largest river in South China) to investigate the concentration, …
The studied site is located on the northern sedimentary margin of Morvan Mountain (Burgundy, France) on a structural limestone shelf dated from the Sinemurian stage sensu stricto (Mouterde, 1952; Fig. 1 a).This formation, which is approximately 5 to 10 m in thickness, consists of an irregular alternation of hard and compact crystalline grey …
