  • Analysis of Rare Earth Elements
    Article - 19 Feb 2021
    Rapid LA-ICP-MS method developed for precise quantification of Rare Earth Elements in various mineral matrices using NexION® 2000 system.
  • Mining the Elements Used in Semiconductors
    Article - 14 Nov 2019
    Some devices require semiconductor materials with elements from the “metalloid staircase” (located across groups 13, 14 and 15 of the periodic table).
  • Examining Crystals Found from Mining
    Article - 14 Nov 2019
