Element #60 in the periodic table, symbol Nd. Neodymium was discovered by Carl F. Auer von Welsbach (Austria) in 1885. The origin of the name comes from the Greek words neos didymos meaning new twin. It is silvery-white, rare-earth metal that oxidizes easily in air. Reacts slowly in cold water, more rapidly as heated. Metal ignites and burns readily.
This metal is used in making very powerful permanent magnets and also in materials science investigations of ceramic materials, superconductivity, etc. along with other rare earths.

3. (noun) - A shorthand name for the person, most renowned for creating redundant forum posts on MarkovForums.com, Neothor. e.g. "you noob, Neo!"
4. (adj) - Redundant, unnecessary, or previously covered. e.g. "this thread is so neo!" Note: the Greek word Neos means new or different, neither of which a "neo" is, making for a humorous auto-antonym
