The US is trying to rebuild its domestic supply chain for rare earth elements, but is facing a challenge in finding talent to run the facilities. Rare earth plants are complicated and expensive to build, and chemical engineers and metallurgists experienced in rare earths have nearly gone extinct in America. The federal government and universities are trying to rebuild the pipeline of skilled workers, but the US produces far fewer mining graduates than China, and the industry faces an economic hurdle in attracting specialists.

The US military attacked Iran for a second day and Tehran retaliated against American allies in the Persian Gulf, raising fears of a return to war after little progress in efforts to secure a diplomatic outcome.US Central Command said on X about 90 targets were hit overnight — after 80 the previous day — “to further degrade” Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran reported strikes on the perimeter of a nuclear power plant and two railway bridges connecting the capital to the city of Mashhad, where former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is being buried on Thursday.

The Islamic Republic responded by targeting US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar, according to the semi-official Iranian Students’ News Agency. Jordan intercepted eight Iran-launched missiles, according to that country’s state-owned TV.

After years of research and investment, the country is on the cusp of giving farmers the first of a new generation of tools to curb the amount of the greenhouse gas livestock emit. Whether they can be deployed at the scale and speed needed to meaningfully reduce emissions and satisfy climate goals remains uncertain.
