🤔 Oh, look! The University of Chicago thinks they've cracked the code on purifying rare earth elements with a "solid-state atomic channel." 🎩 Because clearly, what the world really needed was another convoluted way to make engineers feel important. 🏆

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.

#RareEarthElements
#REEs

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.

Breaking down #rareearth element #magnets for #recycling
A team of researchers says it has developed a way of separating #rareearthelements (REEs) from waste—magnets, in this case—that is relatively easy, uses less energy, and isn’t nearly as emissions and pollution intensive as current methods. The team published a paper describing this method in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

🫐 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.
