A unique luminescent probe using terbium has been developed to detect β-glucuronidase, an enzyme that can aid in liver cancer diagnosis. The sensor's sensitivity and accuracy are comparable to conventional methods but at a lower cost, making it suitable for resource-limited settings.
Researchers at Paul Scherrer Institute propose a new therapy for lymphoma using radioimmunotherapy with terbium-161, which could target smaller tumours and increase survival rates. The isotope's conversion and Auger electrons allow for precise treatment of cancer cells in the bloodstream.
Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed an artificial membrane channel that can selectively transport middle rare earth elements, such as europium and terbium, while excluding other ions. This breakthrough could increase domestic supply and decrease reliance on costly imports.
A team of researchers has made a groundbreaking discovery about the magnetic interactions in TbMn6Sn6, a Kagome layered topological magnet. At intermediate temperatures, both uniaxial and isotropic terbium ions exist, with the population of spherical terbium increasing as temperature rises.
Researchers successfully detect X-ray signature of individual atoms, enabling the identification of materials at an atomic level. The breakthrough technique has potential applications in environmental and medical sciences, as well as advancing technology.
Scientists at Lund University have found seven elements, including rare earth metal terbium, in the atmosphere of KELT-9 b, the galaxy's hottest exoplanet. The discovery was made possible by a new method developed to analyze exoplanets, which has opened up the possibility of studying their atmospheres in more detail.
Scientists discovered that 12 strains of cyanobacteria can passively collect rare earth elements from wastewater through a process called biosorption. This process has great potential for the circular recovery and reuse of rare earth metals in industries such as mining, electronics, and chemicals.
Researchers have improved a magnetostrictive material that can withstand extremely low temperatures and is suitable for use in space. The compound, which includes terbium and iron, exhibits high magnetostriction values even at liquid nitrogen temperatures, making it ideal for controlling the position of space telescopes.
Scientists have connected two soft crystals and observed energy transfer between them, leading to the potential development of sophisticated materials. The study used rare earth metals called lanthanides, which can luminesce, to create a molecular train that exhibited green luminescence at one end and yellow luminescence at the other.
Researchers at Penn State developed a luminescent sensor that can detect and quantify low concentrations of terbium in complex acidic samples. The sensor uses a protein called lanmodulin, which is selectively binding to rare earth elements, and has the potential to help develop a domestic supply of these metals.
Researchers at the University of Liverpool and McMaster University have discovered a quantum spin liquid state in TbInO3, a complex material that defies its crystal structure. The exotic state emerges from the local environment around magnetic ions, giving rise to extraordinary properties.
Physicists at the University of Groningen have discovered a new manganese compound produced by tension in the crystal structure of terbium manganese oxide. The discovery could lead to the creation of new nanoscale circuits.
Scientists have created a material that is both magnetically and electrically polarized, paving the way for new applications. The unique property allows for strong magneto-electrical effects, making it an exciting discovery for future technologies.
A new tagging technique developed by researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago provides a clearer and more dynamic view of protein-protein interactions in living mammalian cells.
