New Rare Earth Compounds Could Power Your Phone
Rare earth elements have many uses, including clean energy technologies, energy storage, and permanent magnets. Researchers also used high-throughput screening, a computational scheme that allows researchers to test hundreds of models quickly. Their work was describedin a recent paperpublished inActa Materialia.
