The term rare earths refers to a group of minerals with chemically similar properties that are important in the manufacture of a wide range of high-technology products. They are used to make a variety of electronic goods, including smartphones and flat-screen televisions, and can be found in specialized industrial products like drills, components for electric automobiles and MILITARY equipment. They are also crucial to new clean energy technologies, ranging from compact fluorescent light bulbs to electric cars to giant wind turbines.
