Rhodium is a member of the platinum metals group; the other members include platinum, palladium, ruthenium, iridium, and osmium. See similar questions...

The FRF has from the very beginning been heavily involved in measuring oceanic events, whether it be waves, wind, currents, tides, ect. But experiments using outside resources have always been encouraged. Duck-X in 1978 tested the accuracy of a satellite radar images using data already collected from the pier. A Shoreface Experiment (ASEX) was the first experiment to study how sediments moved along the bottom due to wave action and currents. Duck82 studied sandbar movement during large storms.

A lot! For some of the highlights, look at NRAO's press releases about recent research results. Every year, hundreds of scientists use NRAO's radio telescopes, and they report their results in numerous papers in scientific journals. Almost any introductory astronomy textbook will contain images and tell of research results from NRAO's various radio telescopes. See similar questions...

In the late 80's, psychologist Francine Shapiro, Ph.D., observed that particular eye movements reduced the intensity of disturbing thoughts in some clients. Dr. Shapiro decided to study this effect scientifically. In 1989, she reported in the Journal of Traumatic Stress, her success using a method she called EMDR to treat victims of trauma.

The primary sources for rhodium are in Russia, South Africa, and Canada. The industrial extraction of rhodium is complicated by the fact that it occurs naturally with numerous other native ores. Mixed with other metals such as platinum, silver and nickel, the separation and refinement of rhodium ores are quite expensive. Only about 9-10 metric tons are produced annually worldwide. As of this writing, its trading range on the world spot metals market are quite volatile. See similar questions...

There are, of course, many more that may be revealed and make counter-measures possible. See similar questions...

The first known magnetic material is a naturally-occurring mineral deposit known as a lodestone. It was found that small rods constructed out of this material would always point north if permitted to swing freely (i.e., when suspended from a string.) This discovery was useful for early navigational systems on ships. See similar questions...
