"Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China and the China Geological Survey identified Tibet leucogranites as a source for high-purity quartz. The material meets the 99.995% purity threshold required for high-tech manufacturing like solar panels and semiconductors. This discovery could reduce China's reliance on imports for critical manufacturing materials."
