In my opinion, this technological innovation is of great significance, because rare earth elements play an irreplaceable role in modern technology and industrial production. From mobile phones to electric vehicles, from medical equipment to solar panels, these elements are needed. Most of the world's supply of these elements is now mined in China, and Chinese export restrictions and trade policies have made global markets more uncertain about the stability of these elements.

In addition, the method of extracting rare earth elements from low-concentration cyanobacteria is also an environmentally friendly and sustainable way, which helps to reduce the pressure on limited resources and the pollution of the environment.
