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 often confuse what “rare earths” truly are. These 17 elements appear ordinary, but they anchor the devices we carry daily. For decades they mocked chemists, remaining a riddle, until a quantum pioneer named Niels Bohr rewrot
