Scientific group led by the Department of Geology - Universidad de Chile developed a five-year study to rebuild the geological history of niobium (Nb), peculiar metal used in aerospace and automotive engineering applications. "Understanding how niobium is transported on a geological scale and how it is deposited in the Earth's crust is key to knowing, later, where to look for it", says Dr. Felipe Velásquez, researcher from Universidad de Chile and lead author of this doctoral project.
