Essential rare earth elements pulled from water using eggshells
Posted by ArielTechGeek 159 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Making the successful transition to green energy is dependent on rare earth elements (REEs), which are needed to make essential components in things like hybrid and electric vehicles and wind turbines. Despite their name, these elements aren't actually rare. The problem is, though, that they’re usually found in low concentrations and are combined, meaning their extraction and separation are expen
Genetics of aging uncovered with rare disease discovery
