Rising From the Ashes: A Hidden Supply of Critical Elements
Researchers in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering have developed a method to recover rare earth elements from coal fly ash. Rare earth elements (REEs) help power electric vehicle motors, wind turbines, MRI machines, smartphones, and defense systems because of their unusually strong magnetic and electrical properties.
