4 min read
Rice University researchers developed an ultraporous material that recovers rare earth elements from industrial wastewater. The study, published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces in 2026, tested the material on neodymium, gadolinium, and dysprosium. At highest loading, it captured 160 milligrams of neodymium, 175 milligrams of gadolinium, and 195 milligrams of dysprosium per gram.
