That's why they're ailing this a "semi-infinite" trove of rare-earth materials. Calling something infinite is already debatable enough, but semi-infinite almost reaches that point - that's true, surely, considering our own life expectancy and the amount of rare-metals we use today, but...
During the last decade, increasing attention has been paid to deep-sea sediments containing high concentrations of rare-earth elements and yttrium (REY), which are termed REY-rich mud, as a new promising resource for industrially critical metals (Kato et al., 2011a, Nakamura et al., 2015, ...
If you’re Australian (or at least of British extraction), you’d understand that “we’re rooted” – an obvious double-entendre for the Unix folk, and seemingly fit for the current task it would seem. If legislation is required, politicians should try to put the politics aside, stop wi...
The development also addresses a key limitation of RMBs – the difficulty of Mg transport within solid materials. Until now, high temperatures were necessary to enhance Mg mobility in conventional cathode materials, such as those with a spinel structure. However, the material unveiled by Tohoku Univ...
