Critical materials periodic table

CMI researchers created a Critical Materials Periodic Table. Every element includes market pricing, supplier information, U.S. import reliance, and crustal abundance.

CMI scientists at the University of California, Davis, developed this.

Achievement
Critical Materials Periodic Table produced. Every element includes market pricing, supplier information, U.S. net import reliance, and crustal abundance.

Significance and impact
Table allows for at-a-glance appraisal of element criticality.

Details and next steps
The periodic table can be updated annually with new surveys and market data.  Table constructed from available information by undergraduate researcher Nathan Soland in the Taufour Lab at UC Davis.
