Rare earth elements like lanthanum, neodymium and dysprosium are used to build the electric motor in your car, the LED lights ...

Rare-earth metals are critical components of electronic materials and permanent magnets. Recycling of consumer products is a promising source for these rare commodities. In the journal Angewandte ...

Caught in the middle of the U.S.-China trade war is a Chiclet-size magnet that is vital to every new electric vehicle on the road. The magnet is made with dysprosium. Atomic number 66. A rare-earth ...

Dysprosium (Dy) is a chemical element belonging to the actinide series. Lecoq de Boisbaudran discovered this element in 1886 but was not able to isolate it. Later in 1950, Spedding and colleagues ...

This week, the rare earth oxide market was under pressure and in the doldrums overall, with the price centers of Pr-Nd, dysprosium, and terbium moving lower to varying degrees, though a notable ...

USA Rare Earth (NASDAQ:USAR) successfully extracted commercial-grade dysprosium and neodymium-praseodymium (NdPr) oxides from ...

Physicists compared how different forms of magnetic ordering in the rare-earth metal named dysprosium react to a short laser pulse. They discovered that the magnetic orientation can be altered much ...

Dysprosium is a Block F, Period 6 element. It is a rare earth element with very high magnetic strength. Dysprosium is not found in nature as a free element; however it is found in several minerals ...

Single-molecule magnets are a type of coordination compound that can retain magnetic information at low temperatures. Single-molecule magnets based on lanthanides have accounted for many important ...

Aaand today we meet ... (drum roll, please) ... another lanthanoid! This week's chemical element is the not-so-rare rare earths metal, dysprosium, which has the symbol, Dy, and the atomic number, 66.

Beginning with its origins as the archetypal and eponymously elusive rare-earth element, Dante Gatteschi explains why dysprosium and other lanthanides have cornered the market in molecular magnetism.
