In our Inner Mongolia, China, there is a magical place called Baiyun Obo, where two gem-quality treasures have recently been dug up, and scientists are very excited. They are Obo niobium ore and Zhai scandium amphibole, and to tell you a little secret, these two small ones are the only rare goods in the world!
Obo niobium ore and Zhai scandium amphibole, this name sounds domineering, right? They were discovered by a group of brilliant brains from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Baotou Iron and Steel Group, Baotou Rare Earth Research Institute, and Central South University. This is not an ordinary discovery, these two brothers in the new materials, new energy, information technology, aerospace and even defense and military industry, these tall fields, may become key players in the game-changing.
Special mention should be made of Zhai scandium amphibole, which is the world's first discovery of a new scandium-containing mineral, in order to commemorate its discoverer, academician Zhai Mingguo, scientists decided to name it after him. This big man has made great contributions to the research of rare earth deposits, and naming new minerals after him is simply too commemorative!
Now, let's imagine that if these new minerals were used in chip manufacturing, it would be a technological revolution! Preliminary research has shown that they can dramatically improve the performance of chips, making those high-tech products even more powerful. Think about it, the mobile phones, computers, and various smart devices in our hands have doubled their performance, how cool it is!
In short, the discovery of Obo niobium ore and Zhai scandium amphibole is not only the pride of China's scientific and technological circles, but also a big step forward in the scientific and technological progress of all mankind. Their emergence means that we are a little closer to the dream of technological utopia. So, let's look forward to more surprises from these little babies in the future!
