In fraction 5 it was possible to extract quantities that, although relatively small, are quantifiable of cerium (Ce) and ytterbium (Yb).

In experiment 1a, before administration of markers, faecal samples were taken in order to determine the initial presence or absence of cobalt and ytterbium. Faecal sample collection was done over a period of 7 days after administration of markers by rectal palpation and extraction of sizeable rectal faecal samples by hand on each sheep.

Following salts of lanthanides were used as standards: Samarium (III) chloride hexahydrate, Lanthanum (III) nitrate hexahydrate, Europium (III) nitrate hexahydrate, Terbium (III) nitrate hexahydrate, Holmium(III) nitrate hydrate, Thulium (III) nitrate hexahydrate, Lutetium (III) nitrate hexahydrate, Erbium (III) nitrate hexahydrate, Samarium (III) nitrate hexahydrate, Neodymium (III) nitrate hexahydrate, Gadolinium (III) nitrate hexahydrate, Dysprosium (III) nitrate pentahydrate, Ytterbium (III) nitrate pentahydrate, and Cerium (III) nitrate hexahydrate.

Erlenmeyer synthesis for azlactones catalyzed by Ytterbium (III) Triflate under solvent-free conditions.

Synthesis of titanium oxide NPs by Ytterbium fiber laser ablation.

Scientists at the University of Maryland and the University of California, Berkeley created a chain of 10 ytterbium ions, each with a spin (the quantum version of angular momentum) pointing up or down.

It was observed that (Aluminum, Arsenic, Barium, Bromine, Calcium, Cerium, Cobalt, Chromium, Cesium, Copper, Iron, Gallium, Hafnium, Lanthanum, Manganese, Molybdenum, Niobium, Neodymium, Nickel, Lead, Rubidium, Antimony, Scandium, Selenium, Silicon, Tin, Strontium, Samarium, Tantalum, Titanium, Uranium, Vanadium, Tungsten, Ytterbium, Zink and Zirconium) elements were present in all the coal samples under investigation.

Renishaw will be there, too, exhibiting precision measurement products such as its 500W ytterbium fibre laser.

[USPRwire, Thu Jan 14 2016] Fiber lasers contain active gain medium, an optical fiber integrated with rare-earth elements such as erbium and ytterbium. Unlike conventional gas lasers, a fiber laser uses part of the fiber as the resonating cavity where the laser action takes place to generate laser beams.

The AM250 laser melting or metal 3D printing machine uses a high-powered ytterbium fibre laser to fuse fine metallic powders together to form functional 3D parts.
