Caught in the middle of the U.S.-China trade war is a Chiclet-size magnet that is vital to every new electric vehicle on the road. The magnet is made with dysprosium. Atomic number 66. A rare-earth ...

Rare earths are increasingly becoming a supply-chain issue rather than simply a mining story, ...

Rare-earth metals are critical components of electronic materials and permanent magnets. Recycling of consumer products is a promising source for these rare commodities. In the journal Angewandte ...

Dysprosium (Dy) is a chemical element belonging to the actinide series. Lecoq de Boisbaudran discovered this element in 1886 but was not able to isolate it. Later in 1950, Spedding and colleagues ...

Physicists compared how different forms of magnetic ordering in the rare-earth metal named dysprosium react to a short laser pulse. They discovered that the magnetic orientation can be altered much ...

Dysprosium is a Block F, Period 6 element. It is a rare earth element with very high magnetic strength. Dysprosium is not found in nature as a free element; however it is found in several minerals ...

A team of chemists has developed a new type of magnetic molecule that could be the key to storing vast amounts of data on absolutely miniscule drives. How much data are we talking here? "This new ...

Beginning with its origins as the archetypal and eponymously elusive rare-earth element, Dante Gatteschi explains why dysprosium and other lanthanides have cornered the market in molecular magnetism.

Aaand today we meet ... (drum roll, please) ... another lanthanoid! This week's chemical element is the not-so-rare rare earths metal, dysprosium, which has the symbol, Dy, and the atomic number, 66.
