I got some new labret piercing jewelry. 14g niobium lip ring-spikes. I love how they look.

Le #niobium est l'exemple même de ces minerais "critiques" réputés nécessaires pour la transition énergétique

Mais à y regarder de plus près, il sert surtout pour faire rouler des #SUV et lancer des missiles made in USA

Perovskite is found just west of Montreal in the Oka Complex; Carbonate-rich, silica-poor magma emplaced in the Cretaceous. The site was mined for niobium in the 1960's and 1970's -it's also enriched in REEs and thorium.

There’s more about perovsite at Oka on MinDat:

When it comes to #quantum #technology, #niobium is making a comeback. For the past 15 years, niobium has been sitting on the bench after experiencing a few mediocre at-bats as a core qubit material. #Qubits are the fundamental components of quantum devices. One qubit type relies on superconductivity to process information.

As an example of the changes happening in the stratosphere, #Niobium and #hafnium do not occur naturally. Yet these metals, along with other distinct elements from #spacecraft, were embedded within roughly 10 percent of the most common particles in the #stratosphere.

A new ore has been discovered in China that could change the world of electronics. The ore, called niobobaotite, contains niobium, a rare earth metal that can superconduct electricity at low temperatures. This could lead to faster, safer and more efficient batteries, semiconductors and other devices. #niobobaotite #niobium #electronics https://www.thebrighterside.news/post/highly-valuable-rare-earth-element-found-within-newly-discovered-ore-niobobaotite?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

A team of researchers has made a breakthrough discovery in the world of Beyond 5G/6G (B5G/6G) #signal #transmission. They have created a #waveguide made of #niobium that speeds up the transition of B5G/6G signals.

The Next-Generation of Memory Technology – New Material Shows Promise
Phase change memory is a type of nonvolatile memory that utilizes the capability of phase change materials (PCM) to transition between an amorphous state, where atoms are scattered, and a crystalline state, where atoms are closely aligned. This change produces a reversible electrical property that can be engineered to store and retrieve data.

2013, #GeoscienceAustralia conducted a study of ‘Critical commodities for a high-tech world’. It found Australia was rich in #antimony, #beryllium, #bismuth, #chromium, #cobalt, #copper, #graphite, #helium, #indium, #lithium, #manganese, #molybdenum, #nickel, #niobium, #platinum group elements, #rareearth elements, #tantalum, #thorium, #tin, #titanium, #tungsten and #zirconium.

I grew up mostly in Nebraska. It was a surprise to see a two-page article in the _New York Times_, starting on the front page.

I'm sharing this as a gift article so friends can bypass the paywall, which makes the URL ridiculously long.
