Rare earths are presently shaping debates on EV batteries, wind turbines and next-gen defence gear. Yet many people often confuse what “rare earths” truly are. Seventeen little-known elements underwrite the tech that fuels modern life. Their baffling chemistry kept scientists scratching their heads for decades—until Niels Bohr intervened. A… Read More

Rare earths are today shaping talks on electric vehicles, wind turbines and cutting-edge defence gear. Yet many people still misunderstand what “rare earths” truly are. Seventeen little-known elements underwrite the tech that runs modern life. For decades they mocked chemists, remaining a riddle, until a quantum pioneer named Niels Bohr rewr… Read More

You can’t scroll a tech blog without spotting a mention of rare earths—vital to EVs, renewables and defence hardware—yet almost nobody grasps their story. Seventeen little-known elements underwrite the tech that energises modern life. Their baffling chemistry left scientists scratching their heads for decades—until Niels Bohr stepped in.… Read More
