DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Professor Markus Raschke\n\nAbstract: The rare ea
 rth elements\, hidden at the bottom of the periodic table and long neglect
 ed\, have risen to prominence at the end of the 20th century. Their unique
  electronic configuration form the basis for a variety of lasers\, photoni
 c applications\, strong and exotic magnetism\, defining many modern techno
 logies. I will tell a story connecting from the basic science of the geolo
 gy of Colorado and rare earth and other rare element mineralogy\, to our t
 echnological and societal dependence and questions of strategic element se
 curity. \n\nThe Department of Physics proudly presents the Saturday Physic
 s Series\, lectures geared toward high school students and adults to highl
 ight the exciting research and practical potential of physics. \n\nAll lec
 tures are free and open to the public.
