Metals & rare earth minerals are vital for modern world and electronics. Apple generates $380 billion in yearly revenues on iPhones alone.
Every smartphone, smart device, computer, game console, vehicle needs batteries which require metals & rare earth minerals.

China 🇨🇳 dominates rare earth deposits, mining and distribution. 60%+ of rare earths are produced in China. 85%+ of rare earths are processed and distributed by China as of 2022
It’s a security issue that China monopolizes rare earths so much IMHO, but they own the mines.

Yeni silsile (#FLOOD): Bor madeni neden altın, petrol ve uranyumdan daha stratejik bir hammadde olacak? Yakın gelecekte Türkiye’nin önüne hangi fırsatlar çıkacak? Bu fırsatlardan istifade etmek için Türkiye’nin ne yapması lâzım? #bor #boron
Borun hammadde olarak çıkartılıp satılmasının Türkiye’ye getireceği fazla bir şey yok. Tersine saflaştırılmış, işlenmiş ve ilaç, radar, nükleer yakıt gibi katma değeri yüksek ürünlere dönüşmüş olarak bor altından değerli.
Bor ile yapılan deterjanı, gübreleri duydunuz muhakkak. Daha az bilinen şeylerden biri zırh ve kurşun geçirmez yelekler. Ama borun değeri yakın gelecekte bunların çok üzerine çıkıp muazzam bir seviyeye gelecek. Neden? etimaden.gov.tr
Over 10 years ago, @ChemistryWorld started a project with the @NakedScientists (especially @Meera_Senthi) to tell the story of each chemical #element: The Chemistry in its Element #podcast. Let's look back for #IYPT2019. Here's @brianclegg with #hydrogen:

@ChemistryWorld @NakedScientists @Meera_Senthi @brianclegg The podcasts weren't published in atomic number order – we jumped around the #periodictable a bit – but here's @peterwothers getting grumpy about party balloons and the loss of the precious elemental resource: #Helium

#Lithium lubricates bearings & boosts batteries, but is also an important drug for depression and bipolar disorder. Nirvana sang about it in 1990 and, hot on their heels, Matt Wilkinson wrote a #podcast for @ChemistryWorld in 2009: chemistryworld.com/podcasts/lithi… #IYPT2019 #Mendeleev
