Quantum sensing, one of the three pillars of quantum technology alongside quantum computing and quantum communication, is rapidly advancing toward commercial use. By leveraging quantum effects at atomic or subatomic scales, quantum sensors enable precision and security beyond the reach of conventional systems
Rare earth elements (REEs), comprising 17 chemical elements including the 15 lanthanides from lanthanum (La, atomic number 57) to lutetium (Lu, 71), plus scandium and yttrium, are essential materials with unique optical, electrical, magnetic, and catalytic properties. Often called "industrial vitamins" or "industrial gold," REEs are indispensable in many high-tech industries
