Abstract
Rare earth elements are garnering global media attention due to their potential role in clean energy technologies. But these elements-which have enabled spectacular innovations in optics over the past decades-are now subject to unprecedented price shocks due to uncertainty around future supply. What does this mean for the optics community?
