Scientists from China and Singapore say they've developed a way for rare earths to emit light when powered by electricity, potentially paving the way for their use in light emitting diodes, or LEDs.

Scientists say the rare earth applications in LEDs are poised to open a new pathway in next-gen display technology.

The team's findings were recently published in Nature, the internationally peer reviewed magazine for science and technology research.

the US is so cooked lol. China can not only gatekeep rare earths needed for missiles and other military tech, but probably all the future displays that will be built off of this. Also curious if this can be used for processors and other tech too down the line.

the next gen processors are gallium

guess who produces 99% of the world's gallium

oh right on, i didn't even know there was a whole thing with gallium nitride. That's pretty kickass.
