Etymology

The term 'neodymium' comes from the Greek words 'neos', meaning 'new', and 'dรฝnamis', meaning 'power'. It was discovered in 1885 by the German chemist Carl Auer von Welsbach, who isolated it from a sample of the mineral didymium. Neodymium was recognized as a separate element due to the efforts of chemists who were studying the complex mixtures of rare-earth elements. Over time, it became more prominent in various industrial applications, especially in the 20th century. In addition to its use in magnets, neodymium's unique properties have made it valuable in fields such as optics and laser technology, contributing to its significance in modern science and technology.
