Scientific breakthrough with mysterious cosmic metal could solve major crisis on Earth: ‘There’s been an urgent search’::“This result represents a total change in how we think about this material."
Tetrataenite, an iron-nickel alloy.
My man!
TL;DR: Magnets. China makes almost all of them so any time we see something that might replace rare earth metals we get excited. In this case because a group made improvements to our ability to synthesize tetrataenite, an iron-nickel alloy, by adding phosphorus.
Do you have any hobbies? … Uhh magnetics?
So the earth has an urgent major crisis because Usa has some dependency on China. O.m.g.
I mean, it also seems much more easily mined so hopefully less environmentally destructive than the crazy stuff we for rare earth mineral mining l.
“COULD” “MIGHT” !!!
