Geng Deng relates how terbium, a garden-variety lanthanide, has found its way into our daily lives owing to its green phosphorescence. It may be one of the rarer rare-earth elements in the Earth's ...

If you can get rid of circulating tumor cells and tumor cell clusters that detach from a tumor, spreading the disease in the body, cancer is less likely to return. This is the hope behind a ...

An announcement from Aclara Resources, Inc. ( ($TSE:ARA) ) is now available. Aclara’s CEO told shareholders that 2025 marked a strategic turning ...

The rare metal terbium has been found in an exoplanet’s atmosphere for the first time. The researchers at Lund University in Sweden have also developed a new method for analyzing exoplanets, making it ...

The team found that terbium ions couched in a gel matrix derived from bile salts can emit green fluorescence. Within the same gel matrix, the team added an organic molecule called 2,3-DHN ...

At a research facility in Missouri, scientists are developing a new way to fight cancer that could change how some of the toughest tumors are treated. Using a radioactive substance called terbium-161, ...

Terbium-161 is already being tested as an anti-cancer drug in several clinical trials - the PSI researchers have now for the first time scrutinised it as a potential treatment for lymphoma. "Our ...

Word origin: Terbium was named for the village of Ytterby, Sweden (as was yttrium, erbium and ytterbium). Discovery: Swedish chemist Carl Gustaf Mosander separated the mineral gadolinite into three ...

China controls roughly 90 percent of the rare-earth materials used in high-tech manufacturing, but the United States, Australia and Japan are exploring new sources that could end the Chinese monopoly.

The radiopharmaceutical consists of a radioactive molecule – in this case terbium-161 linked to a ligand. This ligand recognises proteins on the tumour cell, allowing highly targeted cancer treatment.
