REEs are a group of 17 elements, all metals with similar properties that are essential for everything from wind turbines and electric car batteries to smartphones and medical scanners. As their name suggests, they are rare, typically occurring at low concentrations in Earth's crust.

Scientists have discovered a fern from South China that naturally forms tiny crystals containing rare earth elements (REEs). This breakthrough opens the door to a promising new way of "green mining" of these minerals called #phytomining.

🫐 The Blueberry Map Experiment — modelling meets the mountains

In 2022, while living with my family in the Czech Republic, I built a digital map of wild blueberry hotspots in the Jizera Mountains.

At first, it looked like a fun summer project — our neighbors used the map to find the best berry spots and enjoy the landscape.
But behind it was a serious experiment: I tested species distribution modelling (SDM) methods, later adapted for wide-world rare earth element prediction.

Within this “blueberry project” I:
🔹 automated the full spatial workflow in R and QGIS,
🔹 generated geomorphons and other terrain-based predictors,
🔹 built and validated ML models,
🔹 created probability maps and tested them in the field.

✨ What started as a family hobby became a field-tested workflow for predictive geoscience.

The US-China trade war has escalated as China imposes restrictions on rare earth exports and cancels Boeing aircraft orders. China’s strategic offensive also includes promoting domestic brands and limiting Western dominance via social platforms like TikTok. Meanwhile, the US tightens chip export controls, impacting companies like Nvidia.

This #eBike Doesn’t Need a Battery

A French inventor has created an e-bike that runs on a #supercapacitor rather than a #LithiumBattery.

By Micah Ling
Published: Dec 07, 2023

"#AdrienLelièvre, has recently engineered a sustainable solution to power the e-bike boom. According to Euronews, Lelièvre 'designed and patented an e-bike called #PiPop, which doesn’t use lithium batteries but supercapacitors.'

"Lelièvre told Euronews, 'The system gets charged when the ride is easy and when the bike brakes—thanks to engine braking—the energy is given back when needed.'

"So, what exactly is a supercapacitor?

"A supercapacitor essentially stocks up energy in the form of a slow-moving charge, which can be released when needed. A battery stocks up energy as a chemical reaction. This means that the bike is constantly stocking up energy when ridden on easier terrain, and then using that energy when going uphill, in the form of an assist.

"According to TS2, 'Supercapacitors, which have been around since the late 1970s, offer several advantages over lithium batteries. Rather than relying on the consumption of natural resources like #lithium or #RareEarthElements, supercapacitors store energy through electrostatic means. This allows them to stock and release energy quickly, providing instant assistance to riders when needed.'

"Unlike many other e-bike manufacturers, Pi-Pop also uses #recyclable materials such as #carbon, conducting polymer, #aluminum foils, and pulp, thus avoiding the need for rare earth elements in its production.

"#TS2 reports that 'the longevity of the Pi-Pop sets it apart from traditional e-bikes. While lithium batteries typically last five to six years, the supercapacitors in the Pi-Pop are projected to have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. This prolongs the bike’s usability, reducing waste and minimizing the environmental impact associated with battery disposal.'

"Another perk to the Pi-Pop bike is that there’s never a need to charge it when it’s stationary. You’ll never hop on the bike and realize you forgot to charge it up.

"Euronews reports that according to Lelièvre, 'We can’t innovate if we lose control of production. When we talk about sustainable development, ecological transition, and energy transition, we need to provide the jobs.' Lelièvre’s company employs 25 people.

"Pi-Pop currently produces 100 bikes per month. And moving forward the company aims to produce at least 1,000 bikes per month in 2024."
