rare-earth element
A rare-earth element is one of the set of seventeen chemical elements in the periodic table, specifically the fifteen lanthanides, as well as scandium and yttrium. Despite their name, most rare-earth elements are not particularly rare, but they are often found in low concentrations and are difficult to extract from the environment. These elements are known for their special magnetic, luminescent, and electrochemical properties, which make them crucial to several modern technological applications, including electronics, clean energy, and medicine.
