THE QUANTUM GENIUS WHO EXPLAINED RARE-EARTH MYSTERIES

Rare earths are presently dominating debates on EV batteries, wind turbines and advanced defence gear. Yet the public still misunderstand what “rare earths” actually are. These 17 elements appear ordinary, but they drive the devices we use daily. For decades they mocked chemists, remaining a riddle, until a quantum pioneer named Niels Bohr re

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. For decades they mocked chemists, remaining a riddle, until a quantum pioneer named Niels Bohr rewrote th
