China has discovered the world's first rubidium mine; experts say its potential economic value is in the trillions

Rubidium is a silvery-white light metal. In the 1850s, German chemist Bunsen accidentally discovered this metal. Rubidium's chemical reactivity is even greater than that of potassium; it reacts very easily with oxygen to form oxides, can spontaneously ignite in air, and reacts with water releasing a large amount of heat, causing the hydrogen to ignite immediately. Therefore, pure rubidium must be kept away from air during production, storage, and transportation. Usually, rubidium is stored in in
