A Mistake Led to the Discovery of an Underwater Island Full of Rare Earth Elements
Hidden beneath the Rio Grande, scientists have discovered an island rich in rare earth elements.
For years, experts have been scanning the waters around this area, but it wasn’t until recently that scientists stumbled upon what appears to be a submerged landmass, rich in rare earth elements. In the coming months, scientists plan to conduct further expeditions, including detailed scans and excavations, to uncover more about the island’s composition and its role in Earth’s history. Should the site prove to be a reservoir of rare earth elements, it could become a focal point for both academic and industrial research, changing the landscape of natural resource acquisition for years to come.
