Japan tries a deal with Myanmar

Japan has plans to join and develop rare earth metals and other natural resources with Myanmar. Chance to diversify its supply chain for the minerals. One of the reasons Japan is looking for another deal due to the fact that China has a monopoly for rare earth metals. Also China, had stopped the shipping of earth metals during an diplomatic conflict. In Japan rare earth metals are crucial to building smartphones, hybrid vehicles and other high tech technology. Southeast Asia, including Vietnam and Laos, is said that it has been untouched or they haven't been looking there, so that might be an chance to find rare earth metals there too.

Planet made of Diamonds

An international team found an unusual star called ''Pulsar''. It was discovered with a telescope based on the observatory in Cheshire. The finding led to the discovery of a gravitational force of a small planet orbiting the pulsar. The Team believes it is that the '' Diamond planet'' is all the that is let over from an existing star. This sounds awesome we might be able to use it. Also our research on elements in space is getting better and better.

Rare Earth Element

The Khanneshin carbonatite contains a lot of light rare earth elements. Such as lanthannum, cerium, and neodymium. The LREE prospects in the Khanneshin carbonatite are comparable in grade to world-class deposits like Mountain Pass, CA, and Bayan Obo in China, both of contain LREE.” 1 million metric tonnes of rare earth element resources is estimated. This is very interesting because we need to focus on using the rare element more so we don't run out very quickly.

Meteriotes w/ clues of technology elements

Meteriotes that have fallen to Earth have important clues on technology elements. Which means that elelments existed when the solar system was forming. More and more evidence that could participate in the forming of life. In years they have found that amino acids in its composition, but not able to find existence of nucleobases. I thought that this news was interestingn because it is a step closer to understanding elements.

Element 117 Discovered

Earlier this year element 117 was discovered. Scientist say that it had never before existed on Earth, and probably never before in the history of the universe.

It still doesn't have a name, but element 117 is the latest in a series of super-heavy atoms to be synthesized in the last few years at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research facility located in Russia. Scientist say it was by far the most difficult to make, but its discovery believed to be an important stepping stone to synthesizing even heavier elements and the periodic table will continue to grow.

Research on Elements

Acrylic density was 1.2/cm3. The cube was sort of translucent. Acrylic has 6 basic elements witch are Carbon, Oxygen  Nitrogen, Chlorine, and Sulfur. Brass is made from 3CU and 2Zn. Pine was very light and the density was .5g1cm. Pine is made from Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Potassium, Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Sulfur, Sodium, Silicon, Iron, Boron, Strontium, and Aluminum.
