Am I the only one who wanted to see a list of names? Anyway: cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium,

  Yeah this was more an overview of the industry and how the USA and China diverged on control and production. A really good article. But yeah, a gap of actually listing the elements and a single image depiction doesn’t include full names (just periodic table abbreviations). From ChatGPT: Light Rare Earth Elements (LREEs) 1. Lanthanum (La): camera lenses, hybrid vehicle batteries 2. Cerium (Ce): glass polishing, catalytic converters 3. Praseodymium (Pr): magnets, aircraft engines 4. Neodymium (Nd): powerful magnets (hard drives, EV motors) 5. Promethium (Pm): radioactive, used in nuclear batteries Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREEs) 6. Samarium (Sm): magnets, nuclear reactors 7. Europium (Eu): red/blue phosphors in screens 8. Gadolinium (Gd): MRI contrast, neutron capture 9. Terbium (Tb): green phosphors, solid-state devices 10. Dysprosium (Dy): heat-resistant magnets 11. Holmium (Ho): high-strength magnets 12. Erbium (Er): fiber optics, lasers 13. Thulium (Tm): portable X-ray machines 14. Ytterbium (Yb): stainless steel, lasers 15. Lutetium (Lu): cancer treatment, PET scans Other Rare Earths. 16. Scandium (Sc): aerospace alloys, sports equipment. 17. Yttrium (Y): superconductors, LEDs, cancer therapy
