The EV mining rush could come to Montana’s mountains: A company announced it found the country’s highest-grade rare earth deposit in Montana. A mining company has identified potentially lucrative deposits of rare earth elements tucked in the Bitterroot Mountains near the Idaho-Montana border. These metallic elements are used in cellphones, laptops and TVs, as well as electric vehicles. Two elements called neodymium and praseodymiumr make up the bulk of the deposit and are part of a once-overlooked group on the periodic table that are now an increasingly valuable resource.

A deadly type of cancer is on the rise in young adults and we don’t know why: Since the 1990s, the rate of colorectal cancer (which includes cancers of the colon and rectum) has been rising steadily among adults younger than 50. Not only that, but more younger people are dying from the disease.

What Iran’s Drones in Ukraine Mean for the Future of War: Russia’s effective use of inexpensive Iranian aircraft points to challenges that other states may soon face elsewhere. Iranian drones have become an increasingly important weapon for Russia in its war in Ukraine, where they are used to strike a range of civilian and military targets. According to U.S. officials, Iran has also sent trainers to Crimea to teach the Russians how to use them correctly. Their usage offers a glimpse into a future where cheaply-made attack equipment is able to grind down expensive and sophisticated material.

The war in Ukraine is just getting started: In the Iran-Iraq war, both sides refused to back down despite a long, bloody stalemate. The same thing could happen to Russia and Ukraine. There is good reason to worry that this ugly history is repeating itself today in Eastern Europe.

Scientists revive ‘zombie’ virus that was trapped for 48,500 years in the Arctic’s permafrost: “Zombie” viruses that spent up to 48,500 years frozen in the ground could reawaken as the permafrost melts due to climate change, scientists warn. Noticeably warmer temperatures in the Arctic are already thawing the region’s permafrost, the permanently frozen layer below Earth’s surface.
