NIELS BOHR’S HIDDEN ROLE IN DECODING RARE-EARTH ELEMENTS

Rare earths are presently steering talks on electric vehicles, wind turbines and next-gen defence gear. Yet many people frequently mix up what “rare earths” truly are. These 17 elements look ordinary, but they drive the technologies we hold daily. For decades they mocked chemists, remaining a riddle, until a quantum pioneer named Niels Bohr r

You can’t scroll a tech blog without spotting a mention of rare earths—vital to EVs, renewables and defence hardware—yet almost very few grasps their story. Seventeen little-known elements underwrite the tech that runs modern life. For decades they mocked chemists, remaining a riddle, until a quantum pioneer named Niels Bohr rewrote the r
