The resources of our Earth are limited. Rare earth elements and strategic metals have become indispensable in our modern world. Without these metals, the production of smartphones, fiber optic networks, electric mobility, laser technology, solar technology, modern medical equipment, LEDs, and many other technologies in use today would be impossible. We have categorized the individual elements into base metals, rare earths, and strategic metals. There are many other terms and classifications, such as specialty metals, non-ferrous metals, technology metals, and so on, but we have chosen to focus on these categories. Discover more about the discovery, utilization, and composition of these metals here.
