Ucore is disrupting China’s dominance of the $15.7 Billion/year (150,000 t/yr*) REO supply chain, enabling investors to participate in a significant opportunity to secure domestic critical metals self-reliance.

“Our Strategic Metals Complex (SMC) in Louisiana will be commissioned in stages, with production scaling up from 2,000 tonnes per annum in Q4-2025 to upwards of 5,000 tpa in 2026. At current market prices, this translates to an opportunity of approximately $500 million top-line to the Company, marking a significant impact in the near term.”* – Pat Ryan, Chairman &  CEO

The spreading out of waves when they pass an obstacle is called diffraction. Smaller holes cause waves to diffract more. If the hole is small, the waves coming through the hole will spread out (diverge) again, as if the hole were a point source of waves, like a rock thrown into a pond.

A US$4 million award from the US Army Contracting Command-Orlando to demonstrate Rare Earth Element Separation Technology Capabilities at the RapidSX™ Commercialization and Demonstration Facility in Kingston, Ontario (the “Project”)

RapidSX is a patent-pending, environmentally friendly and commercially scalable technology, providing unprecedented efficiency and cost-efficient throughput.

6. Design an experiment to determine the wavelength of a laser, using a grating with known spacing (d), a wall and some metersticks. Derive an equation for the wavelength, and then describe the procedure you would follow.

1. Play with this Wave Interference simulation, created by the PhET team at the University of Colorado. Some things to try, for each type of wave: put in a one-slit barrier, change the wavelength, change the width of the slit. What variations cause the most diffraction (wave spreading out the most). Then try putting in a two-slit barrier. Again vary the wavelength, and also the slit separation. On the Light tab, hit the "show screen" button and notice the alternating bright and dark areas on the screen.

5. The diffraction grating we use in class has a spacing of 750 slits per mm. That is, the distance from one slit to the next (d) is 1/750th of a mm. (a) If you shine a violet laser (wavelength 405 nm) through the grating, at what angle do you get the "first-order" (n=1) bright spot? (NOTE: you will need to use the inverse-sine ("arcsine") function of your calculator.) At what angle is the second-order (n=2) bright spot? (b) If you shine the laser perpendicular to a screen and through the grating located 2.0 meters from the screen, how many cm from the central bright spot (n=0) will the first-order spot be?

What arerareearth metals used for

Rare materialsnames

If plane waves come to a barrier that has two holes, the diffracted waves emerging from those holes will overlap and interfere with each other. The resulting pattern of alternating constructive and destructive interference is reminiscent of Moiré patterns. As shown in the following graphics, the pattern is more spread out when (1) the holes are closer together, or (2) the waves are of longer wavelengths.

What counts as "small" depends on the wavelength. If the hole is smaller than the wavelength, then the wavefronts coming out of the hole will be circular. Therefore, longer wavelengths diffract more than shorter wavelengths.

Under the Project, the Company will produce high-purity NdPr, Pr and Nd over a 6-month period from 13-15 tonnes of Canadian and US feedstock sources.

Imagine plane wavefronts moving toward a wall with a hole in it. If the hole is very wide, the waves coming through the hole will be mostly flat, but will curve outward (i.e. diverge) slightly.

Diffraction happens with all kinds of waves, including ocean waves, sound and light. Here's an aerial photo of ocean waves diffracting as they pass through a gap in a causeway.
