  1. Repost: Perovskite is found just west of Montreal in the Oka Complex; Carbonate-rich, silica-poor magma emplaced in the Cretaceous. The site was mined for niobium in the 1960's and 1970's -it's also enriched in REEs and thorium.

    There’s more about perovsite at Oka on MinDat:

  2. #LundiInfographie

    Le #niobium est l'exemple même de ces minerais "critiques" réputés nécessaires pour la transition énergétique

    Mais à y regarder de plus près, il sert surtout pour faire rouler des #SUV et lancer des missiles made in USA

  4. When it comes to #quantum #technology, #niobium is making a comeback. For the past 15 years, niobium has been sitting on the bench after experiencing a few mediocre at-bats as a core qubit material. #Qubits are the fundamental components of quantum devices. One qubit type relies on superconductivity to process information.

  5. A new ore has been discovered in China that could change the world of electronics. The ore, called niobobaotite, contains niobium, a rare earth metal that can superconduct electricity at low temperatures. This could lead to faster, safer and more efficient batteries, semiconductors and other devices. #niobobaotite #niobium #electronics thebrighterside.news/post/high

  6. A team of researchers has made a breakthrough discovery in the world of Beyond 5G/6G (B5G/6G) #signal #transmission. They have created a #waveguide made of #niobium that speeds up the transition of B5G/6G signals.

  7. #Silicides form when #elemental #niobium is deposited onto #silicon during the fabrication process of a #transmon #qubit. They need to be well understood to make devices that reliably and efficiently store #quantum information for as long as possible.
