The report integrates government data, industry metrics, and cross-regional policy analysis to map the extent to which Chinese materials are embedded in global manufacturing. It tracks export volumes, ...
For decades, the world treated helium as a given, the gas that fills birthday balloons and makes voices squeak. It was cheap, apparently inexhaustible, and too trivial for strategic attention. Then, ...
The report draws on foreign direct investment (FDI) tracking, project-level case studies, and trade flow analysis. It evaluates Chinese capital deployment geographically (Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin ...
China’s near-monopoly over rare earth elements – about 69% of global mining and 90% of processing – is more than a resource play; it is the backbone of a strategic innovation drive across high-tech ...
A useful mental model is simple: geology sets the risk; processing amplifies it. Certain REE minerals—especially monazite (and often xenotime)—commonly carry higher Th/U than many bastnäsite-dominant ...
Washington’s renewed pressure on Venezuela is being framed as an oil story. That framing is incomplete. As Rare Earth Exchanges™ has argued, the tightening vise on Venezuelan crude increasingly ...
A sweeping new analysis published in Energy Storage Materials by Dr. Ningaraju Gejjiganahalli Ningappa of Concordia University, with collaborators from Canada, Brazil, and the United States, provides ...
Australia’s Lynas Rare Earths had once been poised to build a heavy rare-earth processing plant in Texas, but evidence is mounting that the project is stalling – and may never materialize. The company ...
The United States faces a critical bottleneck in rare earth element (REE) separation and refining – a chokepoint that China overwhelmingly controls. Rare earths (a group of 17 elements) are essential ...
Rare earth elements (REEs) like neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, terbium, cerium, and lanthanum are the silent enablers of today’s digital infrastructure. Though used in small amounts, they’re ...
