Interactions of rare earth elements with living organisms and emerging biotechnical applications
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1251-1274, September 2025.Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical resources required to achieve net‐zero carbon emission targets and energy security. However, rising demand for REEs coupled with significant extraction and processing challenges and geopolitical risks restricts access to REE resources.
