China says it has found high-purity quartz in #Tibet: a strategically important material for solar panels, semiconductors & other hi-tech supply chains. (Ordinary quartz is common. High-purity quartz is scarce.) #criticalmineral www.scmp.com/news/china/s...
Tibet quartz discovery boosts China’s self-sufficiency push for hi-tech materials
China’s discovery of rare quartz used to make solar panels and semiconductors could help rewrite US import dominance.

It's been a pleasure to join @connectedtwplus.bsky.social to chat about #EU and its #criticalmineral conundrums caused by #China and its export control regime.
Europe’s race to secure rare earths has begun, but can it succeed without China? In its biggest resource test yet, the EU is stepping up as export bans tighten and costs soar.

Insizwaite PtBi₂ is a rare platinum–bismuth mineral known for exotic electronic properties
In lab form it shows strong topological behavior, making it a candidate material for next-gen quantum CPUs
Finding Bi-rich PGE systems suddenly becomes far more strategic

📌Critical minerals: new dependencies, narratives and cooperation
High concentration in #criticalmineral markets makes value chains more vulnerable to shocks & weaponisation.
Promoting a more diversified global supply is therefore key to reducing demand-side risks while supporting the transition👇

With Canada at risk of missing 2030 #Emissions targets, capitalizing on Chinese know-how—and collaborating on #AI governance—is viewed by some as a "no-brainer."
