The sensor, developed by researchers at Penn State, takes advantage of a protein that very specifically binds to rare earth elements and could be harnessed to help develop a domestic supply of these metals, which are used in technologies such as smart phones, electric car batteries, and energy efficient lighting. A paper describing the sensor appears Aug. 25 in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-08-sensor-valuable-rare-earth-element.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">New sensor detects valuable rare earth element terbium from non-traditional sources<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new luminescent sensor can detect terbium, a valuable rare earth element, from complex environmental samples like acid mine waste.
