Most rare earth elements are lanthanides, elements from 57—lanthanum—to 71—lutetium—on the periodic table. They have similar chemical properties but differ in size.

President Trump signed an executive order invoking war time powers to help boost production of critical minerals and rare earth elements. There is a global race for those materials, but the U.S ...

Scientists analyzed coal ash from power plants across the United States and found it could contain up to 11 million tons of rare earth elements — nearly eight times the amount the US has in ...

Fortunately, they differ slightly in their ionic radius, or size. However, their sizes are still fairly similar, with only a 16% change in radius across the series.
