rare earth
Rare earth refers to a group of 17 chemically similar metallic elements, including the 15 lanthanides, as well as scandium and yttrium. Despite their name, these elements are fairly common in the Earth's crust, but because of their geochemical properties, they are often dispersed and not often found in concentrated, exploitable forms. These elements are essential for the production of many high-tech devices and applications in various fields, such as energy, electronics, and defense.
