Niels Bohr’s Hidden Role in Decoding Rare-Earth Elements
Rare earths are currently shaping debates on EV batteries, wind turbines and cutting-edge defence gear. Yet most readers frequently mix up what “rare earths” really are. These 17 elements look ordinary, but they drive the gadgets we use daily. For decades they mocked chemists, remaining a riddle, until a quantum pioneer named Niels Bohr rewro
