Rare Earth Elements | 60 Minutes Archive

Rare earth elements, the unusual metals inside nearly every piece of high-tech equipment you can think of, are essential to modern life. In 2015, Lesley Stahl visited the California mine where they were first identified and learned how China became the dominant producer. "60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.
