Using this, we have discovered seven elements, including the rare substance terbium, which has never before been found in any exoplanet’s atmosphere”, says Nicholas Borsato, PhD student in ...

Penn State University researchers have developed a luminescent sensor that can detect terbium, one of the rarest of the rare earth elements, in complex environmental samples like acid mine waste ...

Terbium-161 was developed in the Laboratory for Radiochemistry at Paul Scherrer Institute. In fact—as Nick van der Meulen, who leads the Radionuclide Development group, proudly points out—terbium-161 ...

On the way to clinical trials Terbium-161 is already being tested as an anti-cancer drug in several clinical trials; the PSI researchers have now scrutinized it as a potential treatment for lymphoma.
