These metallic tungsten cubes weigh far more than you might expect, and for some extremely online people, they have become a tactile, real-life dexterity.

Hastings has received approval to construct a hydrometallurgical plant in Australia to process rare earths oxide concentrate into mixed rare earth carbonate (MREC), containing high levels of neodymium (above) and praseodymium concentrate.

A team led by Professor Kazuhiro Yanagi at Tokyo Metropolitan University has been working on ways to produce and process ultra-thin layers of a class of materials known as transition metal dichloride. Here, they have taken single-atom-thick layers of molybdenum disulfide and molybdenum diselenide and stacked them together in four layers (4L films).

Impact Minerals' wholly owned Arkun nickel-copper and platinum group metals project, located on an emerging property in southwest Western Australia, has identified a number of high priority targets for rare earth elements (REEs) and rubidium in recent soil geochemical results.
