Critical raw materials tend to have unique chemical properties which make them difficult to replace in technology. The UK government includes 34 raw materials on its designated critical list\, but lists vary from country to country. \n\n\n\n\n\n\naluminium\n\n\n\nantimony\n\n\n\nbismuth\n\n\n\nborates\n\n\n\ncobalt\n\n\n\ngallium\n\n\n\ngermanium\n\n\n\nhafnium\n\n\n\nhelium\n\n\n\nindium\n\n\n\niridium\n\n\n\niron\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nlithium\n\n\n\nmagnesite\n\n\n\nmagnesium\n\n\n\nmanganese\n\n\n\nnatural graphite\n\n\n\nnickel\n\n\n\nniobium\n\n\n\nphosphorus\n\n\n\nplatinum\n\n\n\nrare earth elements (REEs)\n\n\n\nrhenium\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nrhodium\n\n\n\nruthenium\n\n\n\nsilicon\n\n\n\nsodium\n\n\n\ntantalum\n\n\n\ntellurium\n\n\n\ntin\n\n\n\ntitanium\n\n\n\ntungsten\n\n\n\nvanadium\n\n\n\nzinc\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices: \n\n\n\n\nEntry to the Museum is FREE and not ticketed.\n\n\n\nNo booking required.\n\n\n\nBooking is required for organisations/groups of more than ten people visiting on the same day.\n\n\n\n\nOpening hours: \n\n\n\n\nMonday to Sunday from 10.00am to 5.00pm\n\n\n\nLast entry at 4.45pm\n\n\n\nClosed on 24\, 25\, & 26 December\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility: \n\n\n\nPlease contact the friendly team at the museum by telephone (01865 272 950) or email (foh@oum.ox.ac.uk) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGallery\n\n\n\nClick images to expand \n\n\n\n\nBattery Ores\n\n\n\nBismuth\n\n\n\nCobalt\n\n\n\nDysprosium\n\n\n\nHalite\n\n\n\nREEs\n\n\n\n\nImage credit: Sarah Bell URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/34-the-critical-raw-materials-shaping-our-future/ LOCATION:Oxford University Museum of Natural History\, Parks Road\, Oxford\, Oxfordshire CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/34-the-critical-raw-materials-shaping-our-future-01-1920x1080-1.webp GEO:51.7586144;-1.2567354 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Oxford University Museum of Natural History Parks Road Oxford Oxfordshire;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Parks Road:geo:-1.2567354,51.7586144 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260721T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20270521T235959 DTSTAMP:20260715T025023Z CREATED:20260711T001323Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260715T025023Z UID:10013009-1784592000-1810943999@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Pip & Posy's Treehouse Trail at Blenheim Palace DESCRIPTION:Pip & Posy’s Treehouse Trail\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Pip & Posy’s Treehouse Trail at Blenheim Palace\n\n\n\nFollow the brand new Treehouse Trail in Adventure Play \n\n\n\nJoin Pip and Posy in Adventure Play on an adventure to solve the mystery of the missing toy Piggy!
