The article discusses the significance of Promethium, a rare earth element (element 61) and its elusive nature in scientific research. Known for its purple glow, Promethium’s properties have remained largely unstudied due to its rarity and radioactivity. While it has been recognized since 1945, all of its isotopes are unstable, making chemical measurements challenging. The article outlines the importance of rare earth elements (REEs), which are critical in modern technologies such as smartphones, electric vehicles, and military equipment. The extraction and refinement of these elements, predominantly sourced from China, pose environmental and geopolitical challenges. Recent research at Oak Ridge National…

A recent study published in the Journal of Nature Cities highlights the significant sinking of 28 major US cities, including New York, Dallas, and Seattle, threatening the structural integrity of buildings and infrastructure. Conducted by researchers from Virginia Tech, the study utilized satellite radar measurements to analyze urban land subsidence, primarily caused by groundwater extraction. They found that in at least 20% of urban areas, structures are at risk, with over 29,000 buildings in high-damage zones. Cities like Houston and Fort Worth have the highest sink rates, exceeding 4 mm annually, with specific areas sinking even faster. This subsidence is…
