Global supply chain risks for rare earth elements

The global dependence on rare earth elements (REEs) has escalated with the proliferation of advanced electronics, renewable energy technologies, and defense systems. These 17 chemically similar metals—such as neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium—are integral to permanent magnets, catalysts, and phosphors. While their names suggest scarcity, the main challenge is not absolute geological rarity but the uneven […]

The Role of Rare Earth Elements in National Defense Systems

Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are a group of seventeen chemical elements in the periodic table that are critical to a wide range of modern technologies and are particularly vital for national defense systems. These elements, often found together in the earth’s crust, are essential for the production of high-performance electronics, magnets, and alloys. The strategic
