Dear readers and friends, today I would like to share with you an exciting news! Just yesterday (June 29), mainland researchers made another astonishing discovery, adding two bright pearls to the treasure house of mineral resources of the motherland!
According to the People's Daily, a Chinese scientific team has discovered two new minerals in the Baiyun Obo mining area of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, namely Obo niobium ore and Zhai scandium amphibole. These two minerals are currently only found in China in the world, and they can be called the only new strategic minerals in the world!
This major discovery was made by researchers 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. As early as 2021, a team led by Fan Hongrui, a researcher at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, discovered traces of these two "abnormal" minerals during an expedition in Baiyun Obo.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that Zhai scandium amphibole is the world's first discovery of a new scandium-containing mineral, which was first discovered by Zhai Mingguo, a famous geologist in mainland China and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in May this year. In recognition of Academician Zhai's outstanding contribution to promoting the research of rare earth deposits in mainland China, this new mineral is named after him, which is well deserved!
So, what is so special about these two new minerals? What is their significance to the future development of the mainland?
Li Xianhua, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, could not hide his excitement when evaluating this discovery. He said that the useful elements contained in these two new minerals have extremely important application prospects in many fields such as new materials, new energy, information technology, aerospace, and national defense and military industry, and will certainly bring immeasurable value to the mainland's economic and social development.
Wang Tingbo, a well-known geological scientist in Beijing, told reporters that this discovery will have a revolutionary impact on the future of materials science research in the mainland, especially in the semiconductor and chip industries, and is likely to trigger earth-shaking changes.
According to preliminary research, if these two new minerals are applied in chip production, it is expected to improve chip performance by more than 5 to 20 times! This breakthrough will not only help the mainland to open up new research fields in semiconductors, but also reconstruct the strategic pattern of global chip research and bring revolutionary disruption!
We should also be soberly aware that the discovery of new minerals is only the first step. In order to truly realize its huge potential, we need to continue to conduct in-depth research, overcome technical difficulties, and promote industrial application. This requires the joint efforts and support of the whole society.
Dear readers and friends, every scientific and technological progress of the motherland is inseparable from the silent dedication of thousands of scientific research workers. Here, let's give them a thumbs up! At the same time, we must always remember that scientific and technological innovation is an important engine for national development, and everyone should pay attention to and support scientific and technological innovation.
What are your thoughts on this big finding? What changes will it bring to our lives? Welcome to speak freely in the comment area, let us cheer for the development of science and technology in the motherland!
