Rare-Earth Metals Break Oxygen Bond | Science News
Scientists at Rice University have cracked a chemical mystery: they’ve engineered a way for rare-earth metal neodymium to grab and split oxygen—something thought to be nearly impossible. Using a custom molecular “basket” system, they’ve created a new reactive compound that mimics how iron handles oxygen in our bodies. This breakthrough could unlock new chemical reactions and materials, with potential applications beyond biology—especially as a sustainable alternative to iron-based compounds.
