US lab accelerates rare earth hunt with protein screening system

US scientists have built a high-throughput biological platform that can speed up the search for rare earth-separating materials, a key step in strengthening supply chains for electronics, batteries and magnets. Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are using naturally occurring bacterial proteins to isolate and study rare earth elements. These proteins, known as ranmodulins, […]
