    SciShow’s host, Hank, gives us a humorous thumbnail sketch of the importance of rare earth metals in 21st century technologies and the “dark side” of these elements, which led to China dominating the market, with a 95% share. Were it not for this dark side, other countries would be refining these elements.

    Find out why this has not the case – and why it’s strategically-dangerous and therefore, it’s changing.
