Background

  • Rare resources, represented by rare earth and other

rare metal elements which are being utilized for the advanced industries such as electronics, automotives, information technologies, robots, etc., are facing their price increase and tight supply due to rapid increase of their consumptions and producing countries’ resource management policies accompanying with the global economic growth and advanced industries’ expansion.

Elements Science and Technology Project Elements Science and Technology Project

  • Designing Material Functions through Fundamental Research on Elements’ Roles -

Project Outline

  • This project started in 2007 aiming at the

establishment of fundamentals on roles of material’s elements responsible for the material properties and the development of alternative materials substituting rare metals and rare earth elements by ubiquitous and nonhazardous ones.

  • Research subjects which see their paving ways for

their practical stages are expected to explore

  • pportunities for further development by applied

research funding programs after their accomplishment.
