Rare earth elements sit quietly inside smartphones, electric vehicles, and wind turbines, yet they are notoriously difficult and dirty to produce. A new lab technique now promises to roughly double how much of these metals can be pulled from the same volume of material,

Rare earth elements are used in a wide variety of modern technologies, from wind turbines to phones. While the elements aren't all that rare, they are difficult to extract and purify. A team led by researchers from Northeastern University in the US has developed a new way to pull REEs from waste left behind from coal mining,
