The periodic table of the material economy
Every element with a page in this atlas is live below. The greyed-out cells are elements that are not mined and traded as commodities — either because they are radioactive and made only in reactors, because they are noble gases with no market, or because they exist for milliseconds in an accelerator. That gap is itself the point: the modern economy runs on a surprisingly small corner of chemistry.

Designated critical (USGS 2025)
Covered in this atlas
Not a traded commodity
Criticality designation from the USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026. Lutetium is shown in group 3 and lanthanum in the lanthanide row, following IUPAC’s 2021 recommendation; other tables place them the other way round.
