A new luminescent sensor can detect terbium, a valuable rare earth element used in smart phone displays, from complex environmental samples like acid mine waste. A new luminescent sensor can detect ...

Word origin: Terbium was named for the village of Ytterby, Sweden (as was yttrium, erbium and ytterbium). Discovery: Swedish chemist Carl Gustaf Mosander separated the mineral gadolinite into three ...

New findings debunk previous wisdom that solid-state qubits need to be super dilute in an ultra-clean material to achieve long lifetimes. Instead, cram lots of rare-earth ions into a crystal, and some ...

Ionic Rare Earths Limited (ASX:IXR) (OTCMKTS:IXRRF) has delivered a boost for its collaboration with leading global automaker Ford Technologies (Ford) and UK-based specialist alloy manufacturer Less ...

Claude Piguet reflects on the history of erbium, which is very much intertwined with its rare earth cousins yttrium, ytterbium and terbium. The discovery of erbium did not come in a single 'eureka' ...

At a research facility in Missouri, scientists are developing a new way to fight cancer that could change how some of the toughest tumors are treated. Using a radioactive substance called terbium-161, ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A new luminescent sensor can detect terbium, a valuable rare earth element, from complex environmental samples like acid mine waste. The sensor, developed by researchers at Penn ...
