Terbium's elusive plus-4 form emerges under ordinary lab conditions, opening possibilities for rare-earth metals
WorldPing
Chemists in a new study led by the University of Iowa report they have isolated and described in detail an atypical state of the rare-earth metal terbium, an advance that could expand its use in quantum technologies, including computing and advanced sensors.
This is a short WorldPing brief. The full report was published by Phys.org.
