Researchers from Penn State have developed a luminescent sensor that can detect a rare-earth element called terbium. The scientists managed to create this equipment by binding protein to the element.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A new luminescent sensor can detect terbium, a valuable rare earth element, from complex environmental samples like acid mine waste. The sensor, developed by researchers at Penn ...

New findings debunk previous wisdom that solid-state qubits need to be super dilute in an ultra-clean material to achieve long lifetimes. Instead, cram lots of rare-earth ions into a crystal, and some ...

ReElement successfully separates and refines critical defense metals to 99.7%-99.999% purity from recycled materials in collaboration with multiple domestic defense contractors ReElement's ...
