SMX Gives Strategic Rare Earth Minerals a Permanent Identity
.SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) unveiled a molecular‑identity system that embeds a durable signature within rare‑earth materials, surviving every processing step—from mining to final component manufacturing. The technology aims to replace paper declarations and third‑party attestations with intrinsic, tamper‑proof provenance, targeting automakers, defense contractors, semiconductor makers and government procurement. By guaranteeing material‑level verification, it could reshape supply‑chain preferences, favoring suppliers that deliver verifiable feedstock. Adoption hinges on independent validation, scalable detection methods, and regulatory acceptance, with pilots and standards engagement expected to drive early market uptake.
