We rely on rare earths to color our smartphone screens, fluoresce to signal authenticity in euro banknotes and relay signals through fiber-optic cables across the seafloor. They are also essential for building some of the world’s strongest and most reliable magnets. They generate sound waves in your headphones, boost digital information through space and shift the trajectories of heat-seeking missiles. Rare earths are also driving the growth of green technologies, such as wind energy and electric vehicles, and may even give rise to new components for quantum computers.“The list just goes on and on,” says Stephen Boyd, a synthetic chemist and independent consultant. “They’re everywhere.” QUOTE ARR is in the right position to prosper from the never ending demand for rare earth metals IMO.
